Vice President, Legal

Role overview

Rubix is seeking a Vice President, Legal to lead legal support for our global AI and digital infrastructure platform.

This is a build role. You'll set up the function from close to a blank sheet: the templates, the playbooks, the outside counsel panel, the governance, and in time the team. This position requires a business-oriented leader who can operate at both a strategic and execution level—balancing speed, risk, and long-term value in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Rubix is part of the Submer Group, delivering the infrastructure and platforms AI runs on, spanning land and power, infrastructure and compute, cloud operations, and applications.
