Job Description

Revalue Nature develops high integrity nature-based assets globally at scale. We differentiate ourselves by combining a robust investment and assessment approach with world-class project development services in-house, all underpinned by our advanced climate tech.

Our team has exceptional track-record of designing and delivering the high impact carbon projects. We have built long-term partnerships and are working in iconic landscapes with leading players in the nature conservation and restoration space.

We offer great opportunities for our talent and we want this to be a place which allows you to do the best work of your life, while also focusing on balance outside of work. 

This is a fully remote role and is strongly preferred to be based in London, but other locations can also be considered.

What are the main responsibilities of the role? 

As Legal Counsel you will be working directly with our COO & General Counsel across a wide-array of tasks required to setup and scale an early-stage company. We need someone who is excited to get their hands dirty, to work broadly, and who gets energy from building new things and getting stuff done. 

The role will include but not be limited to:

  • Providing legal support to various internal departments
  • Working with outside counsel to structure deals and confer on regulatory issues, as required
  • Negotiating and drafting commercial contracts and financing instruments
  • Structuring and managing project financing transactions
  • Taking preemptive measures to avoid legal risks and conflicts
  • Keeping abreast of the regulatory landscape (carbon regulations among others)

What do we expect from you?

  • A love of nature; a strong affinity with conservation and restoration of natural systems
  • Mission, values and impact driven
  • Resilience, and the ability to make difficult things happen
  • Outstanding problem-solving skills and detail orientation 
  • Willingness to join an international, remote working team, travelling to various international settings as needed
  • A proven ability to work effectively in diverse cultural settings
  • Evidence that you can work in remote teams, are self-driver with willingness to take initiative and committed to continuous improvement and consistent high-performance within a complex and fast-growing sector 
  • An understanding of nature-based solutions is desirable but not a must

Required Qualifications

  • Qualified to practice law in England & Wales or New York or California
  • 3-6 years post qualification experience in private practice or in-house
  • Proven track record in project finance, debt/equity finance and general corporate/ commercial is essential
  • Experience with carbon finance a plus
  • Experience in emerging markets a plus

What do we offer?

  • Shared purpose, culture and values
  • Unbeatable work flexibility and balance (global team, remote working)
  • On-the-ground work in the most iconic nature landscapes of our planet
  • A truly diverse team of colleagues, partners and clients
  • An agile team, with unrivalled experience and track-record
