Job Description

Peak Power is a North American cleantech company providing end-to-end battery energy storage solutions for large commercial, industrial, and manufacturing facilities operating in IESO, ISO-NE, PJM, and NYISO.

Powered by industry-leading peak forecasting and market intelligence, we help large energy users significantly reduce electricity costs, unlock new revenue streams, and achieve sustainability goals.

Through strategic investor partnerships, we remove capital cost barriers with zero-capex energy storage offered through a shared-savings model, aligning with customer success by prioritizing battery performance.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the VP of Strategic Finance, the Commercial Director will run the end-to-end process to move complex, multi-stakeholder transactions from proposal/LOI through contracting and toward execution. Our deals often involve multiple parties, customers, development partners, asset owners/investors, and contractors, and this role is central to "threading the needle" across stakeholders while preserving Peak Power's economics and ensuring agreements are financeable and executable.

You'll own the commercial process for specific transactions (divided across the commercial/strategic finance team), drive internal coordination and external momentum, and escalate when decisions or exceptions are required. This is a high-visibility role with meaningful impact on deal velocity, deal quality, and organizational scalability.

Deliver

You are accountable for keeping multiple transactions moving forward with clarity, structure, and momentum.

• Own the end-to-end commercial process for a portfolio of transactions (assigned deal-by-deal), including energy services, partnerships, EPC, and asset-sale related workstreams.
• Drive the transaction plan: stakeholders, timeline, dependencies, open issues, risks, and next actions, ensuring nothing stalls due to unclear ownership or missing inputs.
• Collaborate across the Strategic Finance, Legal, Operations and Development teams to drive a single, aligned company position on commercial terms, obligations, and economics.
• Participate in internal and external meetings to advance negotiation, align on issues, and close loops with counterparties.
• Maintain structured deal artifacts and ensure decisions are documented and communicated.

Report

You create visibility so leadership and teams know what's happening and what decisions are needed.

• Provide clear status reporting across active deals: what changed, what's at risk, what requires decisions, and what's needed to progress.
• Surface bottlenecks and recurring blockers across transactions and propose practical process improvements to increase speed, consistency, and predictability.

Collaborate

You have strong interpersonal and communication skills to enable effective operations that require input, buy-in, and execution across stakeholders.

• Partner closely with Legal, Sales and Commercial leadership to ensure transactions are structured in ways that preserve economics and enable execution.
• Bring high EQ and strong stakeholder management across diverse personalities and functions, specifically under pressure and shifting priorities.

Grow

You strengthen the system, not just the deal in front of you.

• Help improve and standardize templates, workflows, and best practices to reduce rework and reliance on "heroics."
• Bring comfort with GenAI tools: use them (appropriately and securely) to accelerate drafting, summarization, issue tracking, and stakeholder updates. You don't need to be an expert, but curious about new tech and leveraging these tools.

What you bring to Peak Power

The experience

• 5+ years of experience running commercial / transaction processes in complex deal environments (distributed energy, infrastructure, renewables, storage, or similarly complex B2B contexts).
• You have broad commercial experience, and ideally a specialty in one domain (e.g., contracting/legal, project finance, or project development).
• Strong contracting fluency and comfort engaging directly with counterparties; able to translate business needs into clear positions and documentation.
• Strong project management capability: you can manage multiple workstreams in parallel and keep momentum across internal and external stakeholders.
• Ability to understand economic tradeoffs and how terms affect financeability and project economics.

The drive and curiosity

• You have a roll up your sleeves attitude and are motivated to solve problems and support team success. You are passionate about contributing to innovative solutions to climate change.

The flexibility

• You are flexible to adapt your activities as needed to support evolving team priorities in a rapidly changing business environment. You are comfortable with ambiguity and are willing to figure things out when there is no clear, defined path or process outlined. You have proactiveness in identifying problems & finding solutions.
