Job description

What if your Due Diligence stopped being a side note and became the main event? That's the Corporate Counsel role at Valero Energy. Here $50,000 - $73,000 buys not just your time but a stake in the general work, the kind Valero Energy trusts junior people to steer.

Key Responsibilities

• Document the why, not just the what, behind every Bankruptcy Law decision
• Make general tradeoffs visible so Valero Energy can weigh them
• Keep junior expectations grounded in what the full-time role can deliver
• Build and sustain strong working relationships across departments
• Earn the trust to make quick-to-ship judgment calls without a committee

What You'll Bring

• A Hartford grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly
• Enough Bankruptcy Law to be dangerous, enough Process Improvement to be trusted
• Adaptability and resilience when facing shifting requirements
• A point of view on Valero Energy's space, sharpened by your own reading
• A team player who lifts up colleagues and shares credit
• The discipline to document while it's fresh, not after it's forgotten

Valero Energy grew up alongside its customers, scaling from a single Hartford room into the general partner much of CT now trusts. Trust is the default setting at Valero Energy; you have to actively spend it to lose it.

At $50,000 - $73,000, with mentorship and a benefits suite to match, this Corporate Counsel seat at Valero Energy is built for people who want to rise.
