About The Position

This is a regulatory role with a different center of gravity. The work is grounded in policy and proceedings, with impact tied to adoption and growth. At Bidgely, regulatory work is not advisory-only. It is a growth lever. We’re looking for a regulatory leader with strong commercial instincts, someone who understands how policy, proceedings, and regulatory nuance shape go-to-market impact, including customer adoption and market expansion. If you’ve ever sat in a regulatory role thinking about how your work could more directly move the business forward, keep reading. THE PROBLEM THIS ROLE EXISTS TO SOLVE Utilities are operating in a rapidly evolving energy landscape. Load growth, electrification, distributed energy resources, rising costs, and increasing customer expectations are reshaping how the grid is planned and managed. Many regulatory frameworks, however, were not designed for this moment. Bidgely sits right at that intersection. Our AI-powered data analytics platform already supports 45+ utilities, with 35+ million meters that serve millions of customers around the world. But adoption does not happen on product merit alone. It happens when regulatory pathways, policy narratives, and commercial strategy are aligned. That’s where you come in.
