About GoodLeap:

GoodLeap is a technology company delivering best-in-class financing and software products for sustainable solutions, from solar panels and batteries to energy-efficient HVAC, heat pumps, roofing, windows, and more. Over 1 million homeowners have benefited from our simple, fast, and frictionless technology that makes the adoption of these products more affordable, accessible, and easier to understand. Thousands of professionals deploying home efficiency and solar solutions rely on GoodLeap’s proprietary, AI-powered applications and developer tools to drive more transparent customer communication, deeper business intelligence, and streamlined payment and operations. Our platform has led to more than $27 billion in financing for sustainable solutions since 2018.

GoodLeap is also proud to support our award-winning nonprofit, GivePower, which is building and deploying life-saving water and clean electricity systems, changing the lives of more than 1.6 million people across Africa, Asia, and South America.

The VPP Leader will own the design and execution of GoodLeap’s Virtual Power Plant (VPP) and DERMS strategy, integrating the company’s distributed energy resources—including solar, battery storage, smart thermostats, and EV chargers—into utility grid programs nationwide.

The VPP Leader will bring a strong track record in utility partnerships and enterprise sales, with the ability to structure and negotiate complex commercial agreements and navigate regulatory and market frameworks for demand response, capacity, and ancillary services. Serving as the primary interface with utilities, ISOs/RTOs, regulators, and technology partners, this role will be accountable for driving revenue growth, program adoption, and scale across GoodLeap-owned and partner DER assets.
