Why we exist and why we need you
Geothermal energy represents the world’s most abundant renewable energy resource, with 2,300 times more energy in the earth’s geothermal heat than in all known fossil fuels combined. However, despite its vast potential, the industry has historically been limited by high costs and difficulty in identifying viable resources. Our innovative approach is setting new industry standards for geothermal exploration and discovery rates, with the potential to become a key contributor to the global clean energy transformation.
To accelerate our growth and success, we are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Corporate Paralegal to join our legal team. This role focuses on contracts management and compliance, providing vital support to ensure the organization operates efficiently while minimizing risk. You will manage key legal processes with our business units and outside counsel. If you’re a seasoned paralegal or legal professional who thrives in dynamic, fast-paced environments, we want you to help us lead the way.
Outcomes – Problems You’ll Solve
The Corporate Paralegal role will centralize and improve several legal processes, including:
- Efficient contracting: Review and support contract drafting across a number of areas including corporate MSAs, NDAs, Land Leases, IP agreements, and more.

- Experienced in contract negotiation: Exceptional ability to draft, review, and edit precise legal contracts to protect company interests. Ideal candidates have experience in M&A, renewable energy, or real estate development industries.
- Self-starter: Self-motivated in identifying and addressing legal risks and compliance gaps. Can research new regulations, effectively utilize resources, and find answers for themselves.
- Tech-enabled builder: Has built new processes and applied technologies such as AI to pragmatically meet business objectives.
- Business savvy: Balances legal risk and business goals to provide actionable recommendations across a number of objectives and maintaining agility while not adhering to malicious compliance or being overly risk averse.
