Description
Job DescriptionAbout Vantage Data Centers
Vantage is committed to being a workplace of inclusion, equity, respect and acceptance. We celebrate diversity and intentionally seek out opportunities to learn from one another's experience.
Vantage Data Centers powers, cools, protects and connects the technology of the world's well-known hyperscalers, cloud providers and large enterprises. Developing and operating across North America, EMEA and Asia Pacific, Vantage has evolved data center design in innovative ways to deliver dramatic gains in reliability, efficiency and sustainability in flexible environments that can scale as quickly as the market demands.
Position Description
The Legal Counsel, Energy/Power, EMEA is responsible for legal and corporate governance in support of Vantage's power projects across EMEA. Vantage is frequently engaging with Transmission System Operators (TSOs), Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) and Independent Distribution Network Operators (IDNOs) and/or their equivalents across EMEA, in order to secure the required connection, import capacity and infrastructure needed to power Vantage's data centers. As part of these engagements the business is required to enter into connection offers, framework agreements (e.g. CUSC), bilateral connection agreements, construction agreements, metering agreements, energy supply agreements and various others. The role will require the candidate to manage all legal aspects of such power arrangements, utilizing external counsel where appropriate, in order to support the business in negotiating and agreeing such contracts, all the time managing and controlling risk whilst facilitating Vantage's developments being delivered at pace. In addition to providing excellent legal expertise and support, the candidate must bring a proactive, business and solution-oriented mindset to legal matters, an enterprise lens and a proven ability to work collaboratively across the organization and specifically within the Vantage EMEA power team. Ideal candidates for this role will have both in-house and law firm experience, strong business and power acumen, a desire to take ownership of their area of legal responsibility (i.e. Power and Infrastructure) and experience in continuous improvement and driving enhancements that benefit the Company.
