Your Mission

Reporting to the GY Italia General Manager with reporting duties to the Legal Director Europe (both members of the Executive Committee of the European BU), you will support commercial activity in the italian region.

As Legal Counsel for Italy, you will report to the GY Italia General Manager with reporting duties to the Legal Director Europe. You will support GreenYellow's commercial activity across Italy, ensuring legal rigor and business alignment across the region.

A few examples of your responsibilities:

• Implement GreenYellow's contractual policy on commercial agreements with suppliers and customers (purchase agreements, EPC, PPAs, energy efficiency contracts), including drafting, review, and monitoring.
• Provide support and advice to operational teams (sales, technical, finance, etc.) on legal matters affecting day-to-day business.
• Contribute to the drafting and continuous improvement of contract templates.
• Provide legal support on project financing activities, overseeing the structuring, negotiation, and drafting of the related contractual documentation.
• You will be the internal point of contact for all matters relating to GDPR and data protection: policies, DPAs with customers and suppliers, data breach management, and liaison with the DPO. You will be required to step in wherever a privacy-related issue arises.
• Assist in the management of pre-litigation and litigation matters.
• Draft internal notes and summary tables for internal presentations, and help develop training and internal organization tools.

• Drive. You're extremely ambitious in everything you do—and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match the intensity of your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work. You hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
• Team spirit and autonomy. You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return. You support the best idea, not your idea. You're always happy to get your hands dirty to help your team. You're reliable, honest, and transparent.
