Responsibilities

Energy supply, cost, and risk Lead acquisition, contracting, and contract management for deregulated electricity and gas across US markets in coordination with USPM, Legal, and Risk. Build sourcing strategies by ISO and state (e.g., PJM, ERCOT, CAISO, MISO, SPP, NYISO, ISO-NE). Run RFPs, evaluate supplier offers and hedging structures, and negotiate price, terms, and risk positions. Track and analyze energy use and cost trends. Provide monthly guidance to USPM on budget variance, forward curves, risk exposure, and cost-avoidance opportunities. Maintain a renewal calendar. Ensure timely renewals and handoffs to operations.
Regulatory and policy compliance Monitor federal, state, and local energy and utility regulations that affect procurement, solar, resident billbacks, renewable claims, and disclosures. Partner with Legal and Compliance to ensure resident billback programs, submetering, and tariff selections follow all rules where permitted. Maintain documentation and controls for audits and client due diligence.
Solar and on-site generation Support USPM with feasibility analysis for rooftop, carport, and community solar, and battery storage where applicable. Coordinate vendor selection, commercial modeling (CAPEX, PPA, lease), interconnection timelines, and risk review. Track deployment, performance, and ROI. Create playbooks for site selection, approvals, construction, commissioning, and O&M. Where permitted, support the setup of resident billbacks or subscription allocations and ensure accurate data flows.
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and offsets Own the REC and carbon offset strategy, including market research, quality screens, additionality assessment, and eligibility by market. Manage unbundled and bundled REC procurement tied to supply contracts and solar generation. Oversee vendors, registries, tracking systems, and retirements. Ensure claims and client reporting meet GHG Protocol guidance for location-based and market-based Scope 2. Advise clients and USPM on offsets for hard-to-abate emissions and on credible standards and vintages.
Vendor, data, and client management Serve as the primary contact for energy brokers, suppliers, solar developers, metering and billing vendors, data aggregators, and REC providers. Build vendor scorecards, SLAs, and quarterly business reviews. Respond to client and USPM requests, create option memos, and present recommendations with clear trade-offs. Maintain clean datasets for utility bills, interval data, contract metadata, REC transactions, and solar performance. Partner with IT to improve data pipelines.
Emerging technologies and services Evaluate and pilot demand response, storage, EV charging, community solar, green tariffs, and virtual power plant opportunities. Identify services USPM and clients can adopt to reduce cost and emissions, convert pilots to scalable offerings, and document SOPs.
Developing the program Develop playbooks, SOPs, and training for USPM teams. Build dashboards and recurring reports for cost, risk, emissions, renewable coverage, and solar performance. Establish governance for contract approvals, exception handling, and change management. Coach analysts and cross-functional partners.
