How to Apply for Settlements Lead

at Intersect Power

🏢 About Intersect Power

Intersect Power is unique as a mission-driven clean energy company recently acquired by Google (announced December 2025) but operating independently under its own brand. They're tackling the largest energy challenges through scalable low-carbon solutions while maintaining a 'team of friends' culture focused on preserving the planet for future generations. The Google acquisition accelerates their ambitious growth trajectory in power and data infrastructure development.

About This Role

As Settlements Lead, you'll manage financial settlements for clean electricity and fuel transactions across retail and wholesale energy markets. This role is critical for ensuring accurate revenue recognition and compliance in a rapidly scaling company that's expanding data center and generation capacity. Your work directly supports Intersect's mission by enabling efficient operations of their innovative energy solutions.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves reconciling wholesale energy market settlements from ISOs like CAISO, resolving discrepancies with counterparties, and ensuring accurate REC and capacity market settlements. You'll collaborate remotely with trading desks and project operations teams to validate transaction data, while developing processes to scale settlements as new renewable projects and data center partnerships come online. The role balances detailed financial accuracy with supporting Intersect's rapid growth in clean energy infrastructure.
