First, the good news: The world now has over 1.7 terawatts of cumulative solar capacity and solar PV is the lowest-cost source of energy generation worldwide.
The challenge: The world must build 3 terawatts of new solar capacity every year for the next 25 years.
Planted is creating new technology to overhaul how the industry develops and builds solar power resources. And we need help. We're expanding our team of ambitious, curious, and hands-on engineers and operators. Come own large parts of product, company, or business development and help power the world with 100% clean energy.
The Commercial Lead will be responsible for utility-scale project origination, business development, and partner relationships in target regions of the U.S. Successful candidates will possess market expertise, strong leadership and communication skills, energy and infrastructure financial acumen, an engineering mindset, and a desire to build the business from the ground up.
This position will be vital in developing the project pipeline and closing deals, and will require close collaboration with product, engineering, and service delivery teams. We prefer candidates in the Bay Area, but we will consider great candidates elsewhere (regular travel to Oakland and elsewhere will be required.)
