ABOUT EMERALD AI

We’re at a pivotal moment for AI and energy. Demand for compute is skyrocketing, but power constraints are becoming a critical bottleneck. Emerald AI sits at the intersection of these two worlds, enabling AI data centers to scale without overwhelming the grid.

Our Emerald Conductor software platform makes data centers flexible and responsive, allowing them to adjust power usage dynamically. This unlocks massive AI growth without major new infrastructure, while also strengthening the grid and supporting the expansion of renewable energy.

We’re a team of experts across AI, cloud, software, and energy—on a mission to scale AI sustainably. We’re backed by leading investors and partners including Radical Ventures and NVIDIA.

You’ll play a key role in enabling day-to-day operational activities - providing timely, practical legal guidance while helping the company move quickly and responsibly.

This is a highly cross-functional role where you’ll be embedded in the business, not operating as a back-office function. You’ll lead and support a broad range of commercial and strategic transactions, including customer, vendor, partnership, data center, and energy-related agreements. You’ll work closely with our commercial and technical teams to structure deals, assess risk, and help the company move quickly and responsibly. At the same time, you’ll help build the foundational processes, templates, and systems that allow legal to scale alongside the company.

- Hands-on experience with data center transactions or the broader data center ecosystem, including experience at or advising data center operators, neoclouds, hyperscalers, energy technology companies, or related businesses.

- Experience working cross-functionally with business,technical, and executive teams

- Strong business judgment and ability to assess legal and commercial risk, make pragmatic recommendations, and help teams reach decisions effectively.

PREFERRED REQUIREMENTS

- Experience with utility, interconnection, energy services, or other energy-related agreements

- Experience with energy technology, AI/ML, cloud or infrastructure-related companies

- Exposure to regulated industries (e.g., energy)

WHAT WE OFFER

- Make an impact. Solve the AI power bottleneck and shape how data centers scale sustainably.

- Join a world-class team of AI, cloud, software, and energy experts in a collaborative, low-ego environment.

- Build from 0→1. Influence strategy, GTM, org design, and customer/investor engagement from day one.

- Competitive pay + equity. Stock options let you share in the value you help create.

- Comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) matching.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
