Manager / Director, Commercial Solutions - Denver, United States - Sparkfund
Description
Job Description
Job DescriptionAbout SparkfundSparkfund is an energy transition partner built to accelerate the energy transition by transforming the built environment into a productive, resilient, climate-adapted extension of the grid. We do this by partnering with utilities and building owners to provide program management, project implementation, and financing services and capabilities to our partners' customers. Together, we are creating a more equitable, resilient, and sustainable energy future.
Position SummarySparkfund is hiring two experienced project development professionals to qualify and develop innovative efficiency and electrification projects for our utility partner's customers. These roles will play a critical role in the growth and success of Sparkfund's Commercial Solutions team as well as our Projects business unit. These team members will collaborate with teams across all four of Sparkfund's business units – particularly our Program Management, Project Development Engineering, Legal, and Finance teams – to manage project qualification, close strategy, pricing, proposal development, and internal management of the project across relevant cross-functional teams. They will be responsible for hitting margin targets, increasing our close rates, and infusing customer and product learnings throughout the organization.
These roles will focus on one of Sparkfund's existing strategic utility partners and their efficiency and electrification program. These team members will be responsible for collaborating closely with our partner's key account managers to develop relationships with end-use customers and to identify, target, and qualify leads. They will then be responsible for developing these efficiency and electrification projects that Sparkfund's Project Delivery team will then implement.
These positions will directly report to the Associate Vice President of Commercial Solutions and will be key contributors to our Projects business unit. They can be Manager-, Senior Manager-, or Director-level positions, depending on the candidate's level of experience. Both roles require self-starters and highly effective communicators capable of effectively managing and influencing a wide variety of perspectives and stakeholders.
LocationWhile Sparkfund is a fully remote company, we require this person to be based in either the Denver or Minneapolis metro areas. In addition to traveling to our utility partner's office, we expect you to travel to Washington, DC and / or other US cities for organized team and / or company gatherings to collaborate with other members of the team / company, learn the ins and outs of our business, and contribute to our company culture.
