The Role

Reporting to the General Counsel, this senior environmental policy attorney will lead legal and policy strategy across environmental regulation, sustainability, low-carbon fuels, and carbon markets.

The role is designed for an attorney who can connect policy, law, commercial strategy, and market opportunity.

  • Track record of influencing policy outcomes through technical comments, coalition leadership, and direct regulator engagement. 

Preferred 

  • Experience in SAF, biofuels, CCS/BECCS, RNG, or carbon dioxide removal sectors. 
  • Prior engagement with EPA, CARB, USDA, DOE, FAA, ICAO, or the European Commission. 
  • Familiarity with LCA frameworks (GREET, CA-GREET, CORSIA methodologies) sufficient to engage credibly with the technical team. 
  • Experience with sustainability certification standards.
