Job description

K2 Renew is a leading utility-scale energy infrastructure site origination and early-stage land development company operating across all major U.S. power markets where generation and load growth are driving demand for new energy infrastructure. With 12,000+ MW signed with development partners and 90,000+ acres under lease, we sit at the origination bottleneck of the energy transition - securing and de-risking land assets that power the next generation of solar, BESS, gas, and data center infrastructure.

The Role

K2 Renew is hiring a BD Associate to support the CEO's outbound partner outreach. The CEO will continue to personally lead new business development; this role is built to amplify that effort - sourcing candidates for conversation, prepping outreach, and keeping the pipeline organized - rather than to independently originate and close partnerships. This is an entry point into energy infrastructure BD for someone with drive and hustle, not a requirement for existing relationships or deep market experience.

What You'll Do

• Research and source prospective partners (developers, IPPs, data center operators) for CEO-led outreach
• Prepare outreach lists, talking points, and background briefs ahead of CEO calls and meetings
• Log and maintain outreach activity and pipeline status in TerraVault
• Support follow-up communications and scheduling with prospective partners
• Track campaign performance and flag where outreach needs a refresh`
• Assist with conference and event coordination as needed

Who You Are

• Driven, hungry, and comfortable with high-volume outreach and research work
• Sharp written communicator who can represent K2 professionally in first-touch outreach
• Organized and comfortable keeping a CRM pipeline clean and current
• Curious about energy infrastructure - willing to learn interconnection, land, and ISO market basics on the job
• Existing industry relationships are a plus but not expected at this level
• Comfortable supporting rather than owning the outreach strategy day to day

Why K2

• Ground-floor opportunity at a company with significant market position and an expanding energy infrastructure strategy
• Direct line to the CEO and real visibility into how partner relationships are built and grown
• Work at the intersection of land, power, gas, and data center infrastructure - one of the most active deal-making environments in the market right now
• Room to grow into larger account or team responsibility as you prove out the role
