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 Inspector General Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote deputy inspector general openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without digging through general job boards that mix in unrelated postings.
Demonstrate async reporting in your application materials
Remote deputy inspector general employers prioritize candidates who can communicate complex findings in writing without real-time back-and-forth. Include writing samples such as audit memos, investigative summaries, or compliance reports that show you can deliver clear, standalone work product.
Signal remote oversight experience on your resume
Call out any audits, investigations, or compliance reviews you conducted across distributed teams or multiple locations. Remote employers want evidence you've coordinated oversight work without being physically present, so name the tools, the team structure, and the outcome explicitly.
Prepare for remote interview simulations of real work
Many remote deputy inspector general hiring processes include a written exercise or case study simulating an actual audit finding or investigative memo. Practice drafting a concise, well-structured findings report under time pressure so you can perform confidently when the panel assigns one.
Remote Deputy Inspector General Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote deputy inspector general job?
Target organizations with distributed oversight teams, such as federal contractors, large nonprofits, and agencies with decentralized operations, since they are most likely to hire deputy inspector generals remotely. Remote employers screen heavily for self-direction, rigorous written reporting, and the ability to coordinate audits and investigations without in-person supervision. Demonstrating prior remote compliance or audit work, strong asynchronous communication skills, and familiarity with virtual evidence-gathering tools gives you a clear edge over candidates with only on-site experience.
Which companies hire remote deputy inspector generals?
Remote deputy inspector general roles are posted by World Business Lenders, New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and Block and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be remote-first government contractors, large distributed nonprofits, and public-sector consulting firms that need oversight leadership across multiple locations without centralizing headcount.
Can you get a remote deputy inspector general job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry into this role is harder because you must demonstrate independent judgment from day one without on-site mentorship. Smaller remote-first contractors and nonprofit organizations occasionally post junior deputy inspector general or inspector general analyst roles that serve as entry points. Showing completed audit projects, compliance reports, or investigative writing samples can substitute for formal title experience and signals you can produce rigorous work without direct oversight.
Do you need a degree for remote deputy inspector general jobs?
Usually, but remote employers weigh demonstrated results alongside credentials. Most postings expect a bachelor's degree in public administration, law, accounting, or a related field, and many prefer a master's or JD. Candidates who lack a traditional degree can strengthen their case with professional certifications in audit or compliance, documented investigative work, and a record of producing the written reports and findings that define this role remotely.
Which industries hire the most remote deputy inspector generals?
Remote deputy inspector general roles concentrate in Education and Consulting & Professional Services, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors hire remotely because their distributed operations, regulatory obligations, and multi-site oversight needs make centralized on-site inspector general teams impractical.
