Support EPC projects, facility expansions, site exits, and real estate transactions across manufacturing and warehousing sites

Commercial & Operational Support

Draft, review, and negotiate a wide range of commercial agreements including supply, distribution, procurement, services, manufacturing, tolling, licensing, and technology agreements

Partner with business leaders to structure deals, allocate risk, and enable commercial objectives

Risk, Governance & Compliance

Identify and manage legal and compliance risks, including export controls, antitrust, anti-corruption, trade compliance, and corporate governance matters

Prepare board and shareholder approval materials and ensure alignment with internal controls and delegations of authority

Process, Tools & Leadership

Build and continuously improve contract templates, playbooks, and negotiation standards

Oversee contracting processes to improve efficiency and scalability

Manage outside counsel and mentor direct reports within the legal team

What We're Looking For

J.D. from an accredited law school and active U.S. bar license

7-12+ years of transactional legal experience

Strong background in contract drafting and negotiation; M&A and/or EPC experience preferred

In-house experience strongly preferred (law firm experience welcome)

Ability to communicate clearly and pragmatically with non-legal stakeholders, including global partners

Comfortable advising at the executive level and managing multiple, complex workstreams

Nice-to-Have Experience

Manufacturing, industrial, chemical, life sciences, or advanced materials industries

Cross-border transactions or Japanese business exposure

Antitrust, IP, export controls, environmental law, or government contracting experience

Why Join Mitsubishi Chemical America?

High-impact role with visibility to senior leadership and global stakeholders

Breadth of work spanning strategic, operational, and commercial transactions

Fully remote position with minimal travel ( 10% or less)

Opportunity to shape legal processes in a growing, innovation-driven organization

Collaborative culture grounded in integrity, professionalism, and problem-solving

If you're a strategic thinker who enjoys rolling up your sleeves, navigating complexity, and enabling business success through smart legal counsel, we'd love to hear from you.
