• Design and implement your own commission structure and team incentives.

What We’re Looking For

• Ability to bring or build a portfolio of generators and offtakers.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a track record of delivering growth.
• Excellent negotiation and stakeholder management skills.

What We Offer
