## About the role

Zanskar is at a pivotal inflection point. As we scale our geothermal development pipeline, we are consolidating legal work that has largely been managed through outside counsel into a focused, high-leverage in-house function. We are seeking an In-House Counsel to be a trusted legal partner to the Co-founders and leadership team—translating legal and regulatory risk into practical decisions that help the company move with speed and discipline. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Sound Judgment: You know how to distinguish real risk from noise, and you're comfortable giving clear, practical advice, including when the answer is "no", while knowing when to escalate
- Operationally Modern: You use legal technology, data, and automation thoughtfully to improve speed, consistency, and insight—without compromising confidentiality, privilege, or professional judgment
- Mission-Driven: You are energized by Zanskar’s mission and by a high-volume, first-of-kind environment where no two weeks look the same. You bring sound judgment, curiosity, and resilience to problems that may not have an established playbook
- Commercial Instinct: You translate legal risk into clear options and help teams reach durable decisions. You know when to move quickly, when to escalate, and when the company needs an unambiguous no
