Job description

Position Summary

The Director of Program Delivery is responsible for the successful delivery of our solutions and achievement of our energy savings goals. As part of the Programs Department, the Director of Program Delivery collaborates closely with the Director of Client Success and Director of Portfolio Management, with a focus on implementation, team leadership, operational excellence, and collaboration. As the leader of a large team currently at ~90 employees (including 4 direct reports), the Director of Program Delivery must be dynamic, energetic, organized, motivational, and committed, with both strategic and tactical acumen.

This position will benefit from someone with deep experience in the energy efficiency / demand side management (DSM) industry, a track record of meeting or exceeding significant energy savings goals, and a demonstrated ability to foster team cohesion, collaboration, and development in a fully remote environment. The ideal candidate will be highly self motivated, inspired to contribute meaningfully to the company’s mission, a high-level, polished, and personable communicator, and passionate about building and leading high-performing teams. They will also have a strong commitment to data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement as well as adaptability to rapid growth and change. With the majority of the portfolio comprised of the Virtual Commissioning (VCx) program, experience with program designs that entail cold outreach and customer engagement via phone calls, emails, and virtual meetings is a high priority.

Directors are senior leadership members of the company, and as such are responsible for balancing our client, team, and company needs in their decisions and guidance. The Directors work collectively with the Executive Team to meet the company’s strategic goals through their expertise and exceptional team leadership, project management, and stakeholder engagement.
