CEO - Climate E-Commerce Startup

<div><h2>About Sparkfund</h2>Sparkfund is an energy technology platform company based in Washington, D.C. 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. </div><h2>Position Summary</h2>Sparkfund is hiring a project development leader on our Commercial Solutions to manage and accelerate the growth for our business.
