Job Description SummaryGE Vernova is establishing a Legal Center of Efficiency, and this is the founding legal role responsible for helping design, build, and run it. Reporting to the Chief Corporate Counsel and working in close partnership with Legal Operations, the successful candidate will provide hands-on legal review and negotiation while standing up a scalable, technology-enabled model for handling high-volume, repeatable agreements – beginning with non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) – that reduces demand on senior legal resources, improves consistency, and speeds the business.
The role follows a deliberate, phased path: it launches in 2026 with NDAs, chosen as the proving ground because they are high in volume, largely standardized, and comparatively low in risk, and it expands from 2027 to additional agreement types across the company. It combines day-to-day legal judgment with a builder’s mandate – setting standards, shaping process and technology, earning business adoption, and demonstrating measurable gains in efficiency, capacity, and risk reduction.
Job DescriptionWhat will you do:Legal Responsibilities* Draft, review, negotiate, and provide legal sign-off on NDAs — mutual and one-way, on GE Vernova and counterparty paper — including escalated and non-standard terms that require legal judgment. * Potential to expand Center of Efficiency’s work to a broad portfolio of commercial contracts, including customer and vendor agreements, master service agreements, and other scalable repeatable agreements, ensuring alignment with GE Vernova's legal standards and risk appetite. * Define and maintain risk positions, fallback language, and approval thresholds for standard and non-standard terms, so routine terms clear quickly while genuine risk is reserved for senior legal attention. * Serve as the designated legal reviewer and escalation point within the support model’s escalation framework, providing timely legal judgment on terms that exceed pre-approved thresholds. * Ensure practices align with GE Vernova’s legal standards, risk appetite, and applicable regulatory and data-protection requirements. * Advise the Chief Corporate Counsel and relevant GCs on legal risk trends emerging from volume and negotiation patterns, and recommend updates to positions, templates, and thresholds accordingly.
Process/Operational Responsibilities (in partnership with Legal Operations)* Contribute legal subject-matter input to the design and documentation of the NDA intake, triage, and escalation process, in partnership with Legal Operations. * Contribute to the NDA playbook, RACI, standard templates, and training materials that Legal Operations maintains as part of the support model. * Support adoption across the business — business units, the General Counsel community, and functions such as procurement and commercial teams — by providing clear, business-friendly legal guidance that builds credibility and trust. * Support KPI reporting and governance cadence — including cycle time, escalation rate, rework rate, legal hours saved, and self-service adoption — in coordination with Legal Operations. * Support the controlled pilot and phased rollout of the NDA model, and contribute legal input to capacity planning and hiring recommendations as demand is validated. * Support enablement of self-service and appropriate technology or AI-enabled tools for routine NDAs, in coordination with Legal Operations’ technology enablement track. * Ownership of process design, metrics infrastructure, and intake tooling sits jointly with Legal Operations per the platform’s operating model; this role provides legal subject-matter input and legal judgment within that framework, not sole ownership of the operational build-out. Fine-grained allocation of shared deliverables is governed by the platform RACI.
