Director, Battery Asset Management

About You

You've spent years elbow-deep in battery systems - you can read a three-line diagram without help, and you know an OEM's manual well enough to push back on their own engineers. You've managed contracts and you've managed people, and you're just as comfortable owning a preventative maintenance program as you are picking up the phone when a site goes down. You'd rather build something from scratch than inherit someone else's system, and you want to own the numbers that come with that.

Key Responsibilities

In year one, expect to be a player-coach: you'll manage the Battery Asset Manager, but you'll also be hands-on yourself - on the phone with OEMs, troubleshooting failures remotely, reviewing alarms, negotiating O&M agreements, visiting sites, escalating warranty claims, and making sure batteries dispatch when they're supposed to. That hands-on work is also how you'll build the operating system this role exists to create - you will own:

• Fleet Performance - Own fleet performance against target (97%+ monthly availability, Monitoring and reporting - Working with our Asset Management Analytics team to build the battery monitoring platform: what gets monitored, how data flows, alarm thresholds, escalation logic, dashboards, and reporting cadence.
• O&M and long-term service agreements - Negotiating and administering them, which means understanding scope, pricing, response times, notification requirements, technical support, spare parts, performance guarantees, and what is negotiable. You should know the OEMs, the O&M companies, and what things should cost, and be comfortable holding contractors accountable when performance is not acceptable.
• Fire safety and code compliance - The operating side of the program, including fire panels, suppression systems, inspection programs, AHJ requirements, emergency response procedures, and vendor compliance.
• Team - You will initially manage one Battery Asset Manager and build the team around it as the fleet grows. You should have managed people before, but you should not be looking for a role where management means staying away from the equipment.
• Commercial fluency - A working understanding of ownership structures, project finance, IRR and discounted cash flow, loans, offtake agreements, land leases, tax documents, and the broader OpCo structure. You do not need to be the finance team, but you do need to understand how an operating decision eventually turns into money.
