at Reunion
๐ข About Reunion
Reunion is a mission-driven startup that accelerates clean energy investments by operating a tax credit marketplace. Its focus on prevailing wage and apprenticeship compliance addresses a critical bottleneck in the Inflation Reduction Act, making it a unique player at the intersection of climate tech and regulatory innovation.
About This Role
As Manager, Clean Energy Solutions, you'll be the go-to expert on prevailing wage and apprenticeship (PWA) requirements, ensuring clients navigate complex regulations smoothly. You'll manage audit delivery, onboard customers, and shape the product roadmap, directly impacting the scalability of clean energy investments.
๐ก A Day in the Life
Your day might start by reviewing a client's PWA data submission and providing feedback to ensure compliance. Mid-morning, you'd lead a cross-functional call with product and engineering to discuss customer feedback on the platform. After lunch, you'd onboard a new client, walking them through the audit process and platform features, then wrap up by analyzing engagement metrics to refine the onboarding cadence.
