Pivot Energy is seeking a dynamic, experienced leader to join our team as Vice President (VP) of Market Strategy. The VP of Market Strategy is responsible for setting the policy strategy, market strategy, and accompanying goals for the markets in which Pivot participates, and then leading those outcomes. Key areas of management include market analysis, generating go-to-market plans, policy tracking and influencing, and executive sponsorship of select high-value opportunities.

The VP will deliver these outcomes by building, leading, and developing a high-performing team of market strategy, policy, and market development professionals: setting priorities, allocating resources, and holding the team accountable to clear goals. Success in the role will be defined by identifying and maintaining solar, small utility, and BESS markets while maintaining and increasing Pivot’s market share in those markets. This will involve balancing resources across teams to both enter and exit markets to optimize our market mix and resources. This role is ultimately accountable for the team's preparation of and response to procurements within qualifying markets using innovative strategies to secure capacity.

The role demands deep understanding of distributed energy resource market policy, wholesale market constructs, legislative & regulatory processes, site origination techniques, equipment and technology usages, modeling and rate analysis fluency, and working across teams to create healthy development environments for company growth. The role also requires the ability to lead executive-level discussions. This is a people-leadership position: the VP will spend the majority of their time setting direction for, coaching, and developing the teams. The role requires a kind, attentive focus to guide team members and work collaboratively across teams.

Set site origination strategies based on policy, internal and external research, company goals, and resource balancing.

Effectively communicate strategies for active and emerging markets to multiple stakeholders, including the CCO and executive leadership.

Oversee the team's usage and interpretation of financial and energy models, and use their outputs to understand key market drivers and guide wise decision making. Direct market research and the team's creation and delivery of initial proof-of-concept deals and strategies.

Lead the team in researching, preparing for, responding to, and winning energy and capacity procurements to continue to grow our market share and expand our pipeline. This could be via RFPs, direct negotiations, or other program constructs to secure capacity with utilities.

Manage and work closely with our policy team to actively monitor regulatory and legislative changes that will change or create markets and bring forward proposals to enter new markets in a timely and successful manner.

Coordinate project development strategy and pipeline to match commercial client demand in timing, volume, and location. Guide the team in identifying and creating new product and offtake concepts that address client demand and then aim to match our pipeline with offtakers.

In collaboration with other department leads such as engineering, origination, finance, and delivery- ensure clear direction and responsibilities are communicated across team members throughout project life cycles.

Ensure the team's timely and accurate use of all CRM and other data systems.

Oversee the creation and maintenance of materials, reports, presentations and other communications which document market strategy and keep leadership and employees up-to-date.

Deep familiarity with the legislative and regulatory structures that affect our industry. Experience working directly with industry trade-groups and other policy makers to create and defend renewable energy policy
