About this role

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD. At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them.   AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward.

THE ROLE

AMD and its customers are building the compute backbone of the AI era, and our Legal team sits at the center of that expansion. We are seeking a Senior Corporate Counsel to join AMD's in-house real estate legal team and lead the legal work behind our most complex data center, infrastructure, energy, and related financing transactions. In this high-impact role you will help AMD acquire, develop, lease, power, and finance the data center facilities that fuel our AI and high-performance computing roadmap, working shoulder to shoulder with our Corporate Strategy and Capital Markets teams as well as Real Estate and Facilities, Engineering, Finance, and Treasury Leaders. You will own sophisticated, time-sensitive deals end to end, from diligence   site acquisition and power procurement through negotiating the project finance and structured transactions that fund them, shape the playbooks that scale our infrastructure program, and see your work translate directly into the capacity that powers next-generation computing. If you are energized by fast-moving, first-of-their-kind projects at the intersection of real estate, digital infrastructure, energy, and capital markets, this is a rare opportunity to make a visible difference.     THE PERSON:   You are a pragmatic, business-minded lawyer who thrives on complex, high-stakes transactions and enjoys being the go-to advisor for a fast-moving infrastructure team. You bring hands-on experience with large data center and infrastructure deals and the energy arrangements that power them, and you are equally comfortable negotiating sophisticated legal terms, technical power and utility requirements, and the credit support and financing structures behind a deal. You are at home partnering with corporate strategy, corporate development, and capital markets colleagues, and you can translate complex financing and commercial considerations into clear, actionable legal advice. You balance legal risk with commercial priorities, communicate clearly to legal and non-legal stakeholders alike, and take ownership of ambiguous, first-of-their-kind challenges without waiting for direction. You are collaborative, direct, and humble, and you know how to move deals forward with urgency while protecting AMD's interests.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Provide legal support across the full lifecycle of AMD's data center transactions, including site selection, leasing, credit support transactions, and ongoing operations, and help manage landlord-tenant and facility operator relationships. Support strategic partnerships and co-investment structures, including transactions with financing components and off-take arrangements, and negotiate third-party credit support such as guarantees and other risk-allocation mechanisms. Support the capital markets and structured finance transactions that fund AMD's data center and infrastructure programs, including project finance, data center equipment financing, secured borrowing facilities, and securitization structures, partnering with Treasury and Capital Markets on credit support, transaction documentation, and negotiations with lenders, sponsors, investors, and rating agencies. Review and negotiate electricity infrastructure and supply
