Hut 8 brings exceptional people together to solve the world’s most consequential problems at the intersection of energy and technology. Today, that means building infrastructure for AI at a pace and scale without precedent. Tomorrow, it could mean powering a new era of innovation through robotics, advanced manufacturing, or an industry that does not yet exist. Whatever the technology demands, our ambition holds: to build the defining physical infrastructure company of our generation.
We look for thinkers and builders with the rigor, humility, and ownership to solve problems at this scale. They start from zero and choose truth over tradition. They back the best idea, whatever its source. They bet on themselves and embrace the hard truths that force them to grow. Our commitment is to keep the path from idea to execution short, trust them with critical decisions and the work that follows, and surround them with colleagues whose curiosity extends beyond their expertise.
About the Role
This role provides the essential drafting, diligence, and legal oversight required for the execution of the company's energy and related infrastructure strategy. You will be responsible for the negotiation of power-related agreements for the Company's growing energy infrastructure platform, spanning grid-supplied power, on-site and behind-the-meter generation, and the acquisition of power-related assets. This role requires a sophisticated understanding of how energy regulatory frameworks and utility timelines dictate project viability.
You will be responsible for structuring power supply arrangements and managing the legal risks associated with generation, interconnection, and transmission capacity, including drafting and negotiating energy service agreements, power purchase agreements, retail service agreements, fuel supply arrangements, and interconnection and other utility infrastructure agreements. You will be responsible for conducting due diligence related to power availability in connection with potential acquisitions of powered land and related infrastructure assets. Success in this role depends on your ability to align energy obligations with construction schedules, financing covenants, and customer commitments.
About You
- Energy Subject Matter Expert: You possess deep knowledge of the North American power grid, including interconnection, transmission and distribution approval processes, and complex tariff structures. You have deep familiarity procuring power in both regulated utility markets and competitive retail energy markets, with working fluency in one or more major markets (e.g., ERCOT, PJM, MISO, SPP).
- Technical Negotiator: You have a proven track record of lead-negotiating multi-party infrastructure deals.
- Strategic Risk Manager: You can identify and mitigate regulatory and operational dependencies—such as curtailment risks and upgrade obligations—before they impact project delivery.
- Integrated Advisor: You excel at serving as an energy subject-matter expert for cross-functional teams in Strategic Transactions, Finance, and Development, and can translate complex regulatory and commercial issues into clear guidance for business decision-makers.
Key Responsibilities
- Drive negotiations for interconnection agreements, shared facilities and other co-tenancy agreements, transmission service agreements, distribution arrangements, and other utility infrastructure agreements.
- Negotiate and structure power supply agreements, energy service agreements, retail energy supply agreements, and ancillary service arrangements.
- Support the development and procurement of on-site and behind-the-meter generation, including negotiation of fuel supply and gas transportation agreements, equipment supply and EPC arrangements for generation assets, and offtake structures for emerging technologies.
- Represent the Company's interests in utility large-load tariff proceedings, special contract negotiations, and related regulatory dockets impacting power procurement and cost allocation.
