Company Background

Takanock is dedicated to solving the most complex challenges at the intersection of the digital and energy industries. We are an infrastructure-development firm focused on powering the future through data center and power projects in Tier I markets across the United States. Our rapidly scaling team leverages its unique combination of technical expertise, market foresight and regulatory knowledge to accelerate project development and interconnection timelines—often years ahead of traditional approaches. Backed by a $500 million equity commitment from leading institutional partners, we are poised to meet the significant opportunities ahead of us.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced and business-minded Associate General Counsel to join our Legal & Operations team. If you are a dynamic attorney who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment and is excited about shaping the future of digital and energy infrastructure through serving as a trusted advisor to our team, this is your opportunity.

What You Will Do

In this position, you will work closely with our General Counsel and outside counsel to lead and manage a broad array of legal matters alongside company leadership. These include transactions involving commercial agreements, land acquisitions and sales for data center developments and co-located electric generating facilities, major equipment procurement, leasing arrangements, engineering, procurement and construction contracts, and strategic partnerships.

What We Are Looking For

The successful candidate must have a Juris Doctor degree with a minimum of five to seven years of legal experience.

A strong background in energy markets, digital infrastructure or related industries is also required, including exposure to one or more of the following areas:

• Electric energy and capacity transactions
• Natural gas procurement and transportation
• Tolling and other revenue agreements
• Interconnection and permitting processes
• M&A
• Project development, including large infrastructure construction
• Project finance

Experience with real estate law, environmental regulations and corporate governance is highly desirable. Top candidates will also have experience at a major law firm and as in-house counsel.

Location and Benefits

This position will be based in either Traverse City, Michigan or one of our other locations, such as Maple Lawn, Maryland or an expected Western U.S. office. Takanock provides competitive compensation and benefits, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision plans through Blue Cross Blue Shield, a 401(k) plan with company contributions, profits-interest equity grants, an unlimited PTO policy, a monthly mobile phone stipend and company-paid parking. The salary range for this position is $170,000-$220,000 per year with a target bonus of 35%.
