Job description

Peak Power is a North American cleantech company providing end-to-end battery energy storage solutions for large commercial, industrial, and manufacturing facilities operating in IESO, ISO-NE, PJM, and NYISO.

Powered by industry-leading peak forecasting and market intelligence, we help large energy users significantly reduce electricity costs, unlock new revenue streams, and achieve sustainability goals.

Through strategic investor partnerships, we remove capital cost barriers with zero‑capex energy storage offered through a shared‑savings model, aligning with customer success by prioritizing battery performance.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the VP of Strategic Finance, the Commercial Director will run the end‑to‑end process to move complex, multi‑stakeholder transactions from proposal/LOI through contracting and toward execution. Our deals often involve multiple parties, customers, development partners, asset owners/investors, and contractors, and this role is central to “threading the needle” across stakeholders while preserving Peak Power’s economics and ensuring agreements are financeable and executable.

Deliver

• Own the end‑to‑end commercial process for a portfolio of transactions (assigned deal‑by‑deal), including energy services, partnerships, EPC, and asset‑seller related workstreams.
• Drive the transaction plan: stakeholders, timeline, dependencies, open issues, risks, and next actions, ensuring nothing stalls due to unclear ownership or missing inputs.
• Collaborate across the Strategic Finance, Legal, Operations and Development teams to drive a single, aligned company position on commercial terms, obligations, and economics.
• Participate in internal and external meetings to advance negotiation, align on issues, and close loops with counterparties.
• Maintain structured deal artifacts and ensure decisions are documented and communicated.

Report

• Create visibility so leadership and teams know what’s happening and what decisions are needed.
• Provide clear status reporting across active deals: what changed, what’s at risk, what requires decisions, and what’s needed to progress.
• Surface bottlenecks and recurring blockers across transactions and propose practical process improvements to increase speed, consistency, and predictability.

Collaborate

• Partner closely with Legal, Sales and Commercial leadership to ensure transactions are structured in ways that preserve economics and enable execution.
• Bring high EQ and strong stakeholder management across diverse personalities and functions, specifically under pressure and shifting priorities.

Grow

• Help improve and standardize templates, workflows, and best practices to reduce rework and reliance on “heroics.”
• Bring comfort with GenAI tools: use them (appropriately and securely) to accelerate drafting, summarization, issue tracking, and stakeholder updates. You don’t need to be an expert, but should be curious about new tech and leveraging these tools.

What you bring to Peak Power

The experience

• 5+ years of experience running commercial / transaction processes in complex deal environments (distributed energy, infrastructure, renewables, storage, or similarly complex B2B contexts).
• Broad commercial experience, and ideally a specialty in one domain (e.g., contracting/legal, project finance, or project development).
• Strong contracting fluency and comfort engaging directly with counterparties; able to translate business needs into clear positions and documentation.
• Strong project management capability: you can manage multiple workstreams in parallel and keep momentum across internal and external stakeholders.
• Ability to understand economic tradeoffs and how terms affect financeability and project economics.

The drive and curiosity

• Roll‑up‑your‑sleeves attitude and motivation to solve problems and support team success.
• Passion for contributing to innovative solutions to climate change.

The flexibility

• Flexible to adapt activities as needed to support evolving team priorities in a rapidly changing business environment.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and willing to figure things out when there is no clear, defined path or process.
• Proactive in identifying problems and finding solutions.

Benefits

• Competitive salary ranging from $130,000 to $175,000, reflecting differences in experience, skills, and qualifications.
• Comprehensive health and wellness benefits available from Day 1.
• Paid time off, including generous vacation and sick/wellness days.
• Equity incentive plan participation.
• Sales commission plan.
• Monthly reimbursements for fitness and health journeys.
• Support for continuous development paid for by Peak Power.
