Advisor — Utility Strategy (part-time)

• Advise on design: shape the structure and features of our collateral product so it aligns with utility credit standards and practical requirements.
• Guide utility engagement: identify the right stakeholders and decision-makers within utilities and advise how best to approach them.
• Stress-test acceptance: anticipate potential objections, explain what utilities really care about, and help us refine messaging to maximize credibility.
• Leverage your network: open doors to relevant contacts across utilities and industry associations to accelerate education and adoption.
• Be a sounding board: provide ongoing perspective on how utilities perceive credit risk, collateral, and counterparties in today’s power markets.

This role helps bridge the gap between product innovation and utility acceptance, accelerating the deployment of clean energy resources by making credit management solutions more adoptable by electric utilities, ultimately fostering a future with sustainable and abundant energy.

• You’ve been in the seat: you were a treasurer, CFO, or senior credit/risk executive at a major electric utility, with direct responsibility for managing credit exposure to counterparties and overseeing collateral instruments.
• Deep network: you maintain strong relationships across the utility sector, including with credit, treasury, and risk decision-makers.
• Utility mindset: you know how utilities think about credit risk, liquidity, and collateral — both formally (policies, rating agency perspectives) and informally (what actually sways internal committees).
• Renewable exposure: bonus if you managed or oversaw a portfolio of renewable PPAs and/or owned renewable generation assets, giving you firsthand perspective on clean energy credit dynamics.
• Practical and strategic: you can translate your experience into concrete recommendations that make our product not just conceptually sound, but operationally adoptable by utilities.
• Trusted presence: you bring the credibility of a career in utility leadership and can help us navigate conversations at the highest levels.
