Company Overview

Intersect Power is a team of friends driven to preserve our planet for future generations through low-carbon energy and infrastructure solutions. Intersect Power is a privately held clean energy company bringing innovative, scalable, American-made, low-carbon solutions to its customers in global energy markets. We develop, own, and operate some of the world’s largest grid-tied clean energy resources, as well as co-located facilities for large industrial loads, including data centers, e-fuels, and other energy-intensive products. We are laser-focused on the largest, most transformative clean energy projects that decarbonize the existing power grid and bring new loads to clean generation without the need for new transmission. Intersect is redefining the scope of the clean energy industry by enabling new pathways between clean electricity and the broader economy. We are on an aggressive growth trajectory and are looking to fill key roles with talented professionals who want to make an impact.

Location & Team Gatherings

Intersect has been a fully flexible workplace since its founding in 2016. We’ve been very intentional about the way we do things. We are not work-from-home, hybrid, or in-office – we are any and all of those options! Deepening social connections and offering shared experiences is a cornerstone of the way we work. We connect as a team at our Team Week experiences four times a year and at our recently established Hub locations - SF Bay Area and San Diego, CA; NYC Metro Area, NY; Denver, CO; Austin, TX; Calgary, AB; and Toronto, ON.

We are currently seeking candidates located within 60 miles of any of the listed hubs to foster more in-person connections while maintaining our flexible remote culture.

About This Position

We are looking to add a Compensation and Equity expert to support and enhance our total rewards function. This role will have a specialized focus on equity planning management and core compensation modeling and administration.

• Assist in the annual compensation cycle (merit, bonus, equity planning) by preparing data, running reports, and supporting system processes.
• Conduct compensation benchmarking and job evaluations using survey data and market tools.
• Maintain clean, accurate compensation data across internal systems and spreadsheets.
• Support compensation audits, internal reporting, and process improvement efforts.

• Familiarity with Private Equity Units (PEUs), executive equity design, and cap table fundamentals.

• Understanding of equity-related compliance, tax, and legal considerations.
• Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills for modeling and data validation.
• Excellent attention to detail and discretion in handling confidential information.
• Collaborative mindset with strong communication and cross-functional coordination skills.
