Job description

Soltage

Asset Manager, Renewable Energy

Company Overview:

Soltage is a leader in the development, financing, and operation of distributed scale solar and storage assets for commercial, industrial, municipal, and utility customers across the United States. Soltage has developed more than 150 solar energy projects to-date, with more than 600 MW total distributed generating capacity in operation or under construction and invested over $1.7 Billion to date into the US clean energy sector.

Position Description:

Soltage is seeking an experienced Asset Manager to join its fast-growing Asset Management team. Building on the foundation of the Junior Asset Manager role, the Asset Manager independently owns day-to-day asset management workstreams for an assigned portfolio of solar and storage projects — including performance monitoring, reporting, and budgeting — with meaningfully greater autonomy and less day-to-day oversight. The Asset Manager is expected to proactively identify risks and opportunities, communicate insights that influence decision-making, and escalation only the most complex or high-judgment matters to the Senior Asset Manager or Asset Management leadership.

Job Responsibilities:

• Monitor and manage the performance of Soltage’s assets across multiple states, ensuring projects meet financial and operational expectations.
• Own day-to-day asset management workstreams from start to finish, including reporting, budgeting, and performance tracking.
• Generate, review, and validate asset data to ensure accuracy and consistency across reporting outputs.
• Analyze asset performance data and communicate clear insights, trends, and recommendations to support decision-making.
• Create and present written and oral updates on operating projects, including key performance drivers, risks, and opportunities.
• Manage invoicing processes and coordinate cross-functionally with accounting and accounts payable to resolve discrepancies.
• Develop and track project budgets, identify variances, and recommend corrective actions.
• Maintain detailed operational and financial records across assigned assets.
• Manage relationships with contract counterparties, ensuring timely, clear, and professional communication.
• Independently communicate and collaborate with internal teams (finance, operations, development, etc.) to resolve issues and support asset performance.
• Utilize Soltage’s asset management software platform to access, analyze, and report on asset data.
• Conduct financial and operational analysis for solar PV and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects.
• Identify and proactively flag risks and opportunities to internal stakeholders, with suggested next steps.
• Contribute to process improvements and support the standardization of asset management practices across the portfolio.
• Provide guidance and informal mentorship to Junior Asset Managers as needed.
• Perform additional responsibilities as assigned.

Experience and Education Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, Economics, Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 2–4 years of relevant experience in asset management, project finance, or a related role within the renewable energy or power industry.
• Working knowledge of electricity markets and project financing structures (tax equity, partnership flips, inverted leases, non-recourse debt).
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and drive workstreams to completion with minimal oversight.
• Strong analytical, financial modeling, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present findings clearly to internal stakeholders.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint); experience with asset management software platforms is a plus.

Location:

This is a full-time, hybrid position based out of Soltage’s headquarters in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Soltage is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to providing a work environment that is free from all forms of discrimination.
