Overview
This position leads the Asset Management team within our Asset Performance and Optimization (APO) group and reports to the VP of Asset Performance and Optimization. The team manages the commercial and financial performance of more than 700 MW of operating utility-scale and distributed generation solar and battery energy storage projects across the United States, backed by a 7 GW development pipeline. The team sets strategy for and oversees contract compliance, tax equity and investor relations, financial management and reporting, operational performance, regulatory compliance, and the transition of new projects from construction to operations. The Director will build and lead a high-performing team of Asset Managers, a Regulatory Compliance Manager, and an Asset Integration Manager; work closely with internal teams (Development, M&A, Engineering, Construction, Legal, Finance, Tax, and O&M); build trusted relationships with offtakers, investors, and lenders; and mentor staff.
Core Responsibilities
Commercial and Financial
Lead tax equity management where applicable: manage relationships with tax equity investors, administer partnership and operating agreements, track cash distributions and allocations, prepare investor reporting, and manage consents, notices, and other investor approvals
Monitor investment tax credit (ITC) compliance, including recapture risk and flip timing, with Finance, Tax, and Legal, and support flips, buyouts, and other tax equity milestones
Lead the team that serves as the primary contact for offtakers, tax equity investors, lenders, and other financing parties, and make sure their questions are answered accurately and on time
Own project-level operating budgets built on prudent assumptions for revenue, operating expenses, and capital expenditures, and run the monthly, quarterly, and annual budget-to-actual reconciliation process
Deliver monthly operating reports and other financial and performance reporting to leadership, owners, and financing parties
Understand project revenue across energy, capacity, and ancillary markets, including BESS dispatch and settlement, and work with Power Marketing to protect and grow it
Review and negotiate asset management, O&M, LTSA, and other commercial contracts
Lead the resolution of commercial issues and disputes with counterparties, escalating to Legal as needed
Lead asset management due diligence for acquisitions and divestitures, and provide analysis for refinancing and asset improvement decisions
Compliance
Oversee compliance with project agreements, including offtake agreements (PPAs and vPPAs), interconnection agreements, financing documents, leases and lease payments, and permits; keep obligation trackers current and make sure deliverables are met on time
Manage REC and environmental attribute delivery: register projects in the tracking systems (such as WREGIS, M-RETS, PJM-GATS, and ERCOT), oversee monthly issuance, transfers, and retirements under PPAs and vPPAs, and reconcile REC volumes against generation and contract obligations
Direct regulatory compliance, including FERC, RTO/ISO, and NERC CIP Low obligations, and lead the team's response to regulatory, policy, or market changes that affect project economics
Track permit conditions and decommissioning obligations, including related financial assurance, with Development and Finance
Operational Performance
Understand how each project is performing against budget and contract expectations (production, availability, and revenue), identify the drivers of underperformance, and work with the O&M teams on corrective action
Track curtailment and pursue compensation where contracts allow
Enforce performance and availability guarantees in O&M agreements and LTSAs, including tracking and recovering liquidated damages
Work with the O&M Services and O&M Performance and Optimization teams on warranty claims, insurance claims, and revenue recovery, and with Technology on OT issues that affect performance
Oversee the transition of new projects from construction to operations, including pre-COD revenue readiness, handoff of contracts and obligations, and build quality at COD
Team and Innovation
Set the vision for how Asset Management scales without adding headcount at the same pace as the portfolio; identify manual work in compliance tracking, reporting, budgeting, and investor deliverables, and lead the design and rollout of automated processes and AI tools to replace it
Support corporate initiatives to strengthen enterprise-wide processes and systems
Coach and develop staff, give timely and constructive feedback, and cross-train the team so key knowledge and responsibilities are not held by one person
