Voltus is a leading virtual power plant operator and distributed energy resource technology platform. The company pays energy users, including commercial, industrial, and residential sectors, to reduce or shift their electricity usage in response to grid stress, high prices, and high emissions. Operating across all nine wholesale power markets in the US and Canada, Voltus provides demand response solutions that create new revenue streams for energy users while contributing to grid reliability and sustainability. Voltus also offers real-time tracking of cash earnings, payments, energy usage, and avoided CO2 emissions, and has a focus on advancing equitable access to revenue opportunities related to the energy transition.

📋 Description

• Build and manage relationships with utilities across North America, calling on Directors of Strategic Energy Resources, Directors of Demand Response, and Managing Directors of Customer Load Management among others. • Identify and pursue opportunities for Voltus to provide utilities with capacity through demand response and battery deployment as well as wholesale market participation to add additional value to their current demand responses programs. • Build relationships with key stakeholders at utilities to help shape their thinking about demand response. Respond to utility RFIs and RFPs, and work to refine and improve Voltus's approach to RFP and RFI responses over time. Strategically work through ecosystem partners to position Voltus as part of a complete solution. • Work cross-functionally with Partnerships, Energy Markets, Product Management, Engineering, Legal, Operations, and Marketing to pitch Voltus as part of a complete, winning solution for utility partners and execute on program delivery. Own the full cycle from initial outreach through relationship development, contract negotiation, program launch, and ongoing program management. • Attend industry conferences and in-person meetings to build relationships and represent Voltus in the utility market. • Share learnings and progress internally on an ongoing basis to help Voltus refine its utility offerings and competitive positioning.

🎯 Requirements

• 5 to 10 years of experience in business development, partnerships, or sales in the energy industry. • Experience working at a utility, DERM, VPP platform, or demand response company strongly preferred. • Familiarity with wholesale electricity markets, demand response programs, and utility procurement processes including RFPs and RFIs. • Proven ability to manage long, complex sales cycles with multiple stakeholders across large organizations. • Comfortable operating in ambiguity. This role requires someone who can figure out what utilities need and how Voltus can best serve them, not someone who needs a fully defined playbook on day one. • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and the ability to work closely with internal teams to develop proposals and programs. • Experience with Google Suite, Salesforce, and Slack preferred.
