OUR MISSION  

SPAN IS ENABLING ELECTRIFICATION FOR ALL ⚡

WE ARE A MISSION-DRIVEN COMPANY DESIGNING, BUILDING, AND DEPLOYING PRODUCTS THAT ELECTRIFY THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT, REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS, AND SLOW THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

- Decarbonization is the process to reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide, from entering our atmosphere.

- Electrification is the process of replacing fossil fuel appliances that run on gas or oil with all-electric upgrades for a cleaner way to power our lives.

AT SPAN, WE BELIEVE IN:

- Enabling homes and vehicles powered by clean energy

- Making electrification upgrades possible

- Building more resilient homes with reliable backup

- Designing a flexible and distributed electrical grid

THE ROLE

To facilitate our rapid growth, we are seeking a passionate and experienced Legal Counsel to provide strategic and tactical legal counseling on a broad range of issues impacting our sales, engineering, manufacturing and supply, and customer support teams. We are a small, agile legal team seeking a strong transactional attorney looking to develop a broad skillset in an entrepreneurial, roll up your sleeves environment. You are equally comfortable advising on negotiation strategy as contributing to the administrative tasks necessary to keep a legal department running efficiently. You are more utility infielder/swiss army knife than position player/specialty tool. You are passionate about electrification and working with mission-driven colleagues, and comfortable diving into unfamiliar territory. This role reports directly to the General Counsel.
