How to Apply for Asset Management - Commercial Lead

at Intersect Power

🏢 About Intersect Power

Intersect Power is at the forefront of scalable low-carbon energy solutions, focusing on clean electricity and fuels for retail and wholesale markets. Recently acquired by Google (announced Dec 2025), the company operates independently with an aggressive growth trajectory, tackling the largest energy challenges while preserving the planet for future generations. This unique blend of startup agility and big-tech backing makes it an exciting place to drive impactful energy infrastructure.

About This Role

As the Asset Management - Commercial Lead, you will oversee the commercial performance of Intersect's energy assets, optimizing revenue streams, managing power purchase agreements (PPAs), and ensuring asset profitability. Your work directly supports the company's mission to accelerate clean energy deployment, making this role critical to both financial success and environmental impact.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with reviewing market prices and asset performance dashboards, then meeting with the operations team to discuss any curtailment or dispatch opportunities. Afternoons could involve analyzing PPA contract terms, negotiating with offtakers, or strategizing with finance on revenue optimization. You'll likely collaborate remotely with colleagues across time zones, ensuring each asset's commercial potential is fully realized.
