What You’ll Do

As Counsel, Corporate Finance at Lambda, you will perform a broad range of debt finance and capital formation legal work. You’ll be a legal partner to Corporate Development, Capital Markets, Finance and Treasury for designing, negotiating and administering Lambda’s capital formation strategy and debt stack - the financing engine behind our GPU deployments and AI data center expansion. You’ll also collaborate with our Data Center and Commercial teams where data center and/or customer arrangements intersect with financing. You will report to Lambda’s Associate General Counsel, Strategic Finance and Partnerships.

• Finance Strategy & Transactions:

  • Manage legal workstreams for credit facilities and other complex financing structures, including term loans and revolvers, SPV/bankruptcy-remote financings, equipment financing/leases, asset-backed loans, project financings, and real estate financings, with a particular focus on facilities deployed against Lambda's GPU fleet and AI data center buildouts.

  • Draft, review, and negotiate documents (e.g., term sheets, credit agreements, guarantees, security agreements, intercreditor/subordination agreements, commitment letters, fee letters, and amendments/waivers).

  • Coordinate with internal stakeholders (Corporate Development, Capital Markets, FP&A, Treasury, Accounting, Tax, Executive team and others) and manage outside counsel to drive efficiently to signing and close.

• Debt Administration & Compliance:

  • In collaboration with crossfunctional partners, build and own a lender deliverables and compliance calendar; prepare and/or review periodic compliance certificates, officer’s certificates and required information packages.

  • Maintain the collateral and lender reporting package - collateral coverage, lien perfection and account control hygiene, insurance compliance, financial covenant calculations, and rating agency materials.

  • Manage ongoing consent, waiver and amendment workstreams, and proactively flag covenant and lender-approval implications of contemplated business actions.

• Process Improvement: Monitor legal and market developments affecting GPU and data center financing; create playbooks, templates, trackers, and closing checklists; streamline financing processes, covenant monitoring, and data room hygiene.

• As‑Needed Legal Support: Collaborate on related corporate, finance, data center infrastructure or tax matters that intersect with capital formation and debt financing; pitch in on special projects as priorities evolve.

You

• JD from an accredited law school and admission to practice in at least one U.S. jurisdiction (New York or California bar preferred or in-house registration).

• 4+ years of law firm experience (in-house experience a plus) with demonstrated strength in supporting complex debt finance transactions and secured transactions.

• Experience coordinating multi‑stakeholder closings and running diligence processes.

• Exceptional drafting and negotiation skills, with an ability to balance legal risk against business and commercial objectives - particularly in financings where legal terms shape operating mechanics (collateral identification, customer-contract interfaces, deployment cadence).

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; adept at collaborating with stakeholders at all levels.

• Proactive mindset, meticulous attention to detail, and ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Nice to Have

• Direct experience on GPU or AI compute financing transactions (e.g., asset-backed or SPV-level facilities collateralized by GPU assets).

• Project finance, asset‑based lending and equipment financing exposure, ideally in AI infrastructure, digital infrastructure, or other capital‑intensive tech.

• Experience advising late-stage private or pre-IPO companies.
