What You’ll Do:

The Legal and Government Affairs team at CoreWeave is highly collaborative and partners closely with teams across the company to navigate complex legal landscapes while enabling innovation and growth. The team is pragmatic, solutions-oriented, and deeply engaged in strategic decision-making, with a strong emphasis on building trusted relationships across the organization.

As Counsel, Credits and Incentives, you will help protect the value of the tax credits, abatements, and economic development incentives supporting CoreWeave’s growth and infrastructure investments. You will oversee compliance throughout the post-award lifecycle, translate complex requirements into practical processes, and help the company meet its commitments across multiple jurisdictions. If you thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, enjoy solving complex problems, and are eager to make a significant impact, CoreWeave is the place for you.

About the role:

Reporting to the Credits and Incentives team lead, you will manage the reporting, documentation, and risk-mitigation activities associated with CoreWeave’s incentives portfolio. You will partner closely with Tax, FP&A, Treasury, Accounting, Operations, and external advisors to ensure contractual, statutory, and regulatory requirements are met accurately and on time. Your work will help preserve the financial value of awarded incentives while minimizing exposure to clawbacks, penalties, and other compliance risks.

In this Role You Will:

• Manage the end-to-end compliance lifecycle for tax credits and incentives, including monitoring requirements, deadlines, and reporting obligations across multiple jurisdictions.

• Prepare, review, and submit required filings, certifications, and compliance reports to governmental agencies.

• Ensure all reporting is consistent with the terms of incentive agreements and applicable statutes.

• Maintain a centralized compliance calendar and tracking system for all incentives.

• Maintain complete and organized records of incentive agreements, compliance filings, and supporting documentation.

• Ensure readiness for audits, agency inquiries, and internal reviews.

• Monitor performance against incentive requirements (e.g., job creation, wage thresholds, investment levels).

• Identify potential compliance risks and escalate issues proactively.

• Support development and maintenance of internal policies, procedures, and playbooks for incentive compliance.

• Implement best practices for tracking, documentation, and reporting.

Who You Are:

• 4+ years of experience with credits and incentives, tax, economic development, or state and local tax (SALT).

• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage complex, multi-jurisdictional requirements.

• Excellent organizational and project management skills.

• Ability to synthesize legal requirements into operational processes.

• Ability to work cross-functionally and manage multiple stakeholders.

• J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school and active admission to practice law in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.

• Proficiency in Excel and experience working with large datasets is preferred.
