Workplace: hybrid

Description

Rockstar is recruiting for a profitable clean energy finance and compliance software company that is transforming the way clean energy projects are financed. Since 2024, the client’s tax credit transfer business has partnered with major corporations to unlock over $8 billion in clean energy investment, including some of the industry’s largest transactions. Its compliance business is building disruptive software for developers to track operations and ensure regulatory compliance. The client is mission-driven, values creativity, collaboration, excellence, and speed without sacrificing fun, and has a 30+ person team of experts from leading clean energy companies.

About the Company

The company is transforming the way clean energy projects are financed. Since 2024, its tax credit transfer business has partnered with major corporations to unlock over $8 billion in clean energy investment, including some of the industry’s largest transactions. Its compliance business is building disruptive software for developers to track operations and ensure regulatory compliance.

The company has built a consistently profitable business, focused on building for the long term. It raised a small seed round of funding in 2023, and has since repaid its investors in full. It does not have pressure from VCs or outside investors to chase short-term targets; it has the autonomy to focus on building a great long-term business. The company’s laser focus on solving tough problems has resulted in repeat customers and strong profitability since 2024.

The company has worked hard to build a mission-driven company culture that values creativity, collaboration, excellence, and speed without sacrificing fun. Its talented team includes experienced leaders from SunEdison, SolarCity, Tesla, GoodLeap, and other clean energy companies; the company is consistently amazed by what its 30+ person team of experts can accomplish.

The company looks for curious, smart, and kind colleagues with an entrepreneurial streak (it has quite a few ex-entrepreneurs on its team). The company is a great place to learn from energy finance experts and play a critical role in deploying clean energy technologies such as battery storage, nuclear, manufacturing, solar, and wind.

About the Role

In 2025, the company launched its PWA software solution that helps developers comply with prevailing wage and apprenticeship (PWA) requirements to unlock the full value of clean energy tax credits. The PWA solution is rapidly gaining traction in the market, and the company is growing its team to accelerate adoption and expand its product offerings. The company invites candidates to join in the fight against climate change by helping renewable energy developers build faster!

As an Engagement Associate, the successful candidate will be a go-to expert for customers looking for PWA compliance reporting and auditing and eventually for other compliance needs including FEOC, BOC, and Domestic Content. The Engagement Associate will rely on strong communication and problem-solving skills to help developers, contractors, and project owners understand how to stay compliant and get the most out of the software platform.

This is a highly customer-facing and technical role. The Engagement Associate will manage key customer accounts, develop efficient processes, and think through how the company expands its product offerings. The Engagement Associate will serve as a trusted advisor to ensure that customers are both technically successful and compliance confident when using the platform.
