Join the power movement as Assistant General Counsel – Commercial

CFS is seeking an experienced, pragmatic, and highly strategic Assistant General Counsel – Commercial to serve as a foundational leader on our legal team. This is a rare opportunity to shape how legal operates at a company building an entirely new industry from the ground up.

This role is a true n of 1: you will be the company's dedicated commercial legal lead, operating as both a hands-on individual contributor on CFS's most complex, mission-critical transactions and the architect of the legal infrastructure that will support the company's next phase of commercial growth. As CFS scales, you will be expected to build and lead a team in commercial and corporate legal, making this as much a leadership opportunity as a technical legal one.

Reporting directly to the Chief Legal Officer, you will partner with executive leaders across commercial and business development, corporate development, strategic partnerships, supply chain, finance, and engineering — giving you direct visibility into, and influence over, the company's most consequential strategic decisions

Why Join CFS?

At CFS, you won't just be managing contracts — you will be laying the legal and commercial operational foundation for an entirely new global industry, with the opportunity to build and eventually lead the team that carries it forward. We offer competitive compensation, comprehensive health and wellness benefits, a collaborative environment, and the opportunity to work alongside world-class experts dedicated to solving one of humanity's greatest challenges.

At CFS, we excel in fast-paced environments, driven by our values of integrity, execution, impact, and self-critique. As we grow, we’re eager to bring on mission-driven folks who offer diverse perspectives and fresh ways to tackle challenges.

We value diversity deeply and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer by choice. We consider all qualified applicants equally, regardless of race, color, national origin, ancestry, citizenship status, protected veteran status, religion, physical or mental disability, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, or any other basis protected by law.

This role requires compliance with U.S. laws concerning the export of controlled or protected technologies or information (collectively, “Export Control Laws"). Any offer of employment will be contingent on the need for compliance with such Export Control Laws.
