Senior Counsel — Broad Scope, Real Influence

Austin, TX (In-Office)    Full-Time    Salaried, Exempt    Reports to CEO

Most in-house counsel roles keep you in a corner reviewing contracts. This one puts you in the room with the CEO, shaping how a fast-growing energy company actually operates.

Freedom Power was born when Freedom Solar and Freedom HVAC joined forces to become Texas's complete whole-house energy company. We don't just install equipment. We hand homeowners the keys to something bigger: control over their energy, their bills, and their future. We call it Energy Empowerment, and it's not a tagline — it's the reason we show up every day.

As Senior Counsel, you'll own the company's legal affairs end-to-end advising the Executive, Sales, Marketing, Residential, and Commercial teams, negotiating the agreements that drive our revenue, and managing the disputes and risks that come with scaling fast. This role touches every part of the business, which means your fingerprints will be on everything from the contracts we sign to the strategy we execute. If you want real ownership and a direct line to leadership, not a narrow lane in a big legal department, this is that role.
