Voltus is the leading distributed energy resources (DER) technology platform and virtual power plant operator, connecting DERs to electricity markets to deliver cleaner, more reliable, and more affordable electricity.
You will serve as a key relationship-builder and strategic leader for Voltus's MISO market operations. MISO represents one of the company's fastest-growing markets and a frontier opportunity as the market design evolves. This is a high-visibility, cross-functional role that prioritizes relationship building, project management, and strategic judgment over day-to-day operational dispatch experience.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own the MISO DER portfolio's revenue and profitability, including financial modeling, forecasting, customer settlement, capacity management, and performance optimization.
- Ensure Voltus meets all commitments to grid operators by maintaining rigorous MISO Tariff compliance and ensuring the DER portfolio performs at 100% when called upon.
- Serve as the primary eyes, ears, and voice on market design evolution. Work directly with MISO and RTO/ISO staff to track and provide feedback on evolving market rules, translating changes into clear implications for customers, Product, and the broader Voltus team.
- Build and maintain strategic external relationships with MISO staff, utility representatives, and DER/technology partners to advance Voltus's interests and represent the company well externally.
- Manage and develop a small direct team, delegating effectively, coaching, and growing their capabilities while staying close enough to unblock them.
- Lead cross-functionally across Sales, Product, Engineering, and Operations, acting as a general project manager to drive decisions and keep initiatives on track.
- Prioritize ruthlessly and adaptively, knowing when action is needed immediately versus when it can wait, and adjusting course quickly as market conditions shift.
- Grow the portfolio by guiding regional sales strategy, directly supporting VIP sales, and onboarding new asset types and programs.
Requirements:
- 5+ years of experience in energy markets, demand response, or a closely related field.
- Proven track record of effectively managing a team.
- Natural relationship-builder with genuine charisma; ability to build trust quickly with internal and external teams and communicate effectively in both directions.
- Strong Excel and Google Sheets skills; preference for SQL and/or Python experience.
- Excellent cross-functional project management instincts; ability to coordinate across teams, delegate effectively, and drive ambiguous initiatives to resolution.
- Gritty mindset with a track record of doing hard things; energized by ambiguity and fast-changing market landscapes.
- Hands-on dispatch or ops management experience is not required; market and relationship instincts are prioritized.
- Bonus: experience managing or onboarding battery storage assets; direct RTO/ISO working experience (MISO experience a strong plus).
Note: Voltus does not sponsor visas or transfers for new hires. Candidates must be authorized to work from their home location in the US or Canada. While Voltus is all-remote, employees must work primarily from their home country due to regulatory and security requirements.
