At Montera, we’re building the future of digital infrastructure. Founder-led with $1.5B backed by Stonepeak, Montera is driven by a future-focused vision: to develop and operate hyperscale data centers essential for tomorrow's technology. Our mission is to deliver strategically located, hyperscale data centers designed for speed, reliability, and scalability. Backed by decades of experience in design, construction, and operations, we don’t just build—we execute with purpose.
Our Values
- Client First Alignment: We align every solution to our clients’ goals.
- Speed with Certainty: Velocity matters. We deliver with urgency and precision.
- Operational Excellence: Decades of experience drive our high standards.
- Safety & Integrity: Safety is non-negotiable. We lead with integrity and transparency.
- Ownership Mentality: We think like owners, because we are.
The Opportunity
Montera is seeking a VP, Deputy General Counsel (Energy) to lead the company's energy legal work, negotiate commercial agreements across the business, and support the continued development of the legal function as we scale our hyperscale data center portfolio. Reporting to the Chief Legal Officer, this position is one of three planned functional roles, each ultimately responsible for a distinct area of the business (Job Level M7 — VP or SVP).
Power is a critical-path factor in the development of every campus, influencing site viability, energization timelines, and the commitments Montera can make to its customers. This position is responsible for the agreements that secure power, the regulatory engagement that protects it, and the allocation of power-related risk within customer agreements. The role is broad rather than specialized: in addition to energy matters, the Deputy General Counsel is responsible for commercial contracts across development and operations, support for customer agreements, and certain templates, playbooks, outside-counsel panel, and systems that enable a small team to support a growing portfolio. The position partners with the Development, Design & Construction, Delivery, Procurement, Finance, and Commercial teams.
What You’ll Do
- Exercise delegated authority from the Chief Legal Officer across energy and commercial matters, and represent the Legal function directly with the business, counterparties, and regulators.
- Build the legal department in partnership with the CLO — contract templates and negotiation playbooks, matter intake, contract lifecycle management, the outside-counsel panel, and the obligations and change-of-control registers.
- Define, recruit, and mentor other attorney and director roles added as the legal function scales; select, scope, and manage specialist outside counsel, running the panel to budget and bringing recurring work in-house as the function matures.
- Own the negotiation and execution of electric service agreements, large-load tariffs and special contracts, and capacity reservation and deposit structures across Montera's development pipeline.
- Lead large-load interconnection and transmission matters — queue strategy and evidencing, network-upgrade cost allocation and reimbursement, transmission service, and substation and facilities ownership boundaries.
- Structure power procurement across utility, wholesale, and behind-the-meter sources — take-or-pay and minimum-demand terms, credit support, contribution in aid of construction, and energization milestones and remedies.
- Advise on on-site and bridge generation (gas, turbines, fuel cells, and storage), together with the supply, EPC, and operating agreements behind them and the parallel-operation and permitting interfaces.
- Lead energy regulatory strategy before FERC and state commissions — large-load tariff proceedings, cost-allocation dockets, interventions, and regulatory audit and information requests.
- Negotiate and close commercial agreements across the business (MSAs, equipment procurement, technology and vendor, consulting and professional services, confidentiality and teaming), and support customer-facing agreements in partnership with the CLO and the Real Estate & Development DGC — allocating power risk inside customer agreements (capacity and availability commitments, SLA exposure, utility cost pass-through, curtailment and demand response, excusable delay tied to utility performance).
- Support power and real estate diligence on site acquisition and land enablement; support lender, sponsor, and customer diligence across the contract portfolio (consents, direct agreements, assignability, change of control); provide training to the business on key terms and escalation protocols; and contribute to Board and sponsor reporting on contracted capacity, energy risk, commercial exposure, and the development of the legal function.
Requirements
What You Bring
Required
- J.D. from an accredited law school; admitted to practice and in good standing with at least one U.S. state bar, and able to register as in-house counsel where required in the state of residence.
- 15–20 years of relevant legal experience at a law firm, a utility, developer or operator, or in-house. Candidates with 10+ years and exceptional depth will be considered.
- Deep energy transactional and regulatory experience, with demonstrated end-to-end ownership of interconnection, electric service, and power purchase agreements as the responsible attorney rather than in a supporting role.
- Strong command of U.S. wholesale and retail power markets, FERC and state-commission practice, and large-load tariff structures.
- Demonstrated commercial negotiation ability across a broad range of agreement types, with a track record of taking on unfamiliar subject matter and reaching a defensible answer quickly.
- Sound judgment on when to bring in outside counsel and when to decide, with the discipline to run specialist firms to defined scope and budget.
- Strong business acumen, with the ability to balance legal risk, schedule, and commercial priorities.
- Exceptional negotiation, drafting, and stakeholder-management skills.
- Comfort operating with autonomy in a fast-moving, founder-led environment without established precedent or process.
Preferred
- Data center, large-load, or other energy-intensive industrial development experience.
- Experience negotiating directly with investor-owned utilities, cooperatives, or municipal providers.
- Experience with behind-the-meter, bridge, or on-site generation, including gas, storage, or fuel cells.
- Experience building legal-department infrastructure, including templates, playbooks, delegation of authority, contract lifecycle management, and outside-counsel panel management.
- Hyperscale leasing exposure, from either side of the table.
- Project finance and lender diligence.

Tips for Your Remote Deputy General Manager Operations Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote deputy general manager operations openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search for roles that match your operations background and apply directly while listings are fresh, since competitive remote roles fill faster than on-site equivalents.
Show async leadership in your application materials
Remote operations employers look for evidence that you can direct teams without real-time supervision. Highlight written communication habits, documented decision-making processes, and tools you have used to manage distributed teams, such as project tracking platforms and async reporting systems.
Demonstrate results with operational metrics
Remote hiring managers cannot observe your work style in person, so quantified outcomes carry more weight. Lead your resume with specific improvements you drove, whether in cost efficiency, team performance, process cycle times, or revenue impact, so your contributions are concrete and verifiable.
Prepare for the remote interview format
Remote deputy general manager operations interviews often involve scenario questions about managing conflict, coordinating across time zones, and maintaining accountability without physical presence. Practice structured answers that show how you have handled distributed team challenges and kept operations on track remotely.
Remote Deputy General Manager Operations Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote deputy general manager operations job?
Start by targeting companies that run distributed teams, since those employers are built to manage remote operations leadership and already have the infrastructure for it. Remote hiring managers screen heavily for written communication, self-direction, and the ability to coordinate cross-functional teams without in-person oversight. Candidates who can show documented results from previous operations roles, comfort with async workflows, and experience using project management and reporting tools stand out.
Which companies hire remote deputy general manager operationss?
Companies hiring remote deputy general manager operationss right now include World Business Lenders, Montera, and New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first technology firms, distributed logistics companies, and national service organizations are among the most consistent hirers of this role across the U.S.
Can you get a remote deputy general manager operations job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level deputy general manager operations roles are harder to land because employers expect you to operate independently from day one without on-site mentorship. Remote-first companies and growing startups are more likely to take a chance on candidates who show strong operational instincts. Demonstrable results from project coordination, team leadership, or process improvement work, even outside a formal deputy general manager title, can open the door.
Do you need a degree for remote deputy general manager operations jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh measurable operations results, leadership experience, and familiarity with remote management tools as heavily as a formal degree. That said, larger enterprises and regulated industries often list a bachelor's degree as a baseline requirement. Candidates without a degree who can point to clear outcomes in cost reduction, team performance, or process improvement are competitive at a wide range of remote companies.
