Factory-built in California, Antora’s thermal batteries deliver reliable and cost-effective heat and power for industrial loads of any size. Antora is electrifying global industry while supporting U.S. manufacturing jobs, lowering costs for energy consumers, and enhancing the competitiveness of American industry.We are growing our company with people who put team and mission first, value connection through laughter and joy, and build with humility and openness. We are committed to continue building a diverse, passionate, and creative team dedicated to a future where every industrial facility, everywhere on earth, is powered by abundant, clean, low-cost energy.    Position Summary   Antora's Senior Counsels will be foundational members of the company's legal function, reporting to the Chief Business Officer and acting as trusted partners to the executive team. This is a high-autonomy, high-impact role for a lawyer who combines top-tier law firm training with the commercial pragmatism and ownership mentality of in-house practice. You will own the corporate legal infrastructure — the internal plumbing that keeps the company compliant, protected, and operationally efficient — while managing the "outside counsel supply chain" to ensure Antora receives excellent, cost-effective legal services across specialist domains. You will enjoy exposure to deal-making and project finance (driven by our Chief Business Officer) and corporate finance (partnering with our CFO and CBO) as you build the internal legal foundation that makes everything else possible. A background in energy transition, infrastructure, project development, or power is a major plus. Antora builds and deploys physical, capital-intensive energy assets, and a lawyer who already understands the commercial, regulatory, and contracting realities of that world - whether from a firm energy/infrastructure practice or in-house at a developer, IPP, utility, or energy technology company - will be bale to partner credibly with engineering, commercial, and project teams from day one.     Roles & Responsibilities   Take ownership of tactical manufacturing, supply chain, and vendor contracts critical to delivering our near term engineering, production and commercial goals. Assess with the CBO, Antora's outside counsel network — mapping current engagements, spend, and coverage gaps — and identify opportunities to consolidate with fewer firms with better rates and accountability, but with a focus on obtaining the best advice and execution available.  Integrate AI tools into your daily legal workflows (contract reviews, first-draft generation, legal research, document analysis, etc.) to measurably increase the speed and volume of work the legal function can handle; assist in selecting the most appropriate CLM and AI enhancements.
