About the role

This company develops, builds, and owns its community solar portfolio. No flipping. PE-backed, new leadership team, growing fast.
The role: you're directly managing a portfolio of projects in Maryland and Illinois, taking them from secured site through to NTP.Why this one's worth a conversation:→ You see your projects through to operation. They own everything they build.→ Small, collaborative team. Low bureaucracy. Real ownership of your portfolio.→ You're not just pushing paper through permitting. You're expected to understand interconnection, title, financing, and the handoff to construction, and get all of it right.→ They're exploring battery projects too. If you've got storage experience, it counts here. What matters here:→ Generous PTO people actually take. You're encouraged to use it.→ Hybrid setup (NYC)→ PE backing means the growth plan is funded, not aspirational.→ Vertically integrated: your asset manager is involved from day one, so you're building for the long term, not the next sale.
What you bring: → 4-6+ years developing solar PV projects (community), origination through NTP→ Strong on interconnection, permitting, title, and working with construction teams→ You understand how to finance a project: construction loans, tax equity, what needs to be true before you break ground→ You don't need handholding. You've delivered financed projects and can prove it→ Maryland or Illinois experience is a big plus Comp: $150-160K base + 15% performance bonus. 2-3 interview rounds, they're moving fast.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
