Job description
About the role
The General Manager of Anza Exchange will own the business end to end: strategy, growth, product and P&L. They will report directly to the CEO. This is a founding role. You'll take a working pilot and turn it into a scaled marketplace, with Anza's customer relationships and market data behind you.
You'll start with a small, dedicated team including engineering. You'll set the product roadmap and work hands-on with the team to ship it, and you'll hire and grow the team as the business scales. You'll work closely with Anza's commercial teams across the company.
We're looking for a builder who has scaled a two-sided marketplace or a transaction-driven B2B business. Marketplace, business development and product experience matter more to us than power-industry experience. Familiarity with industrial equipment, energy or other complex B2B categories is a plus.
Position responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Build supply by bringing equipment owners onto the Exchange
- Build demand by turning project teams and procurement leaders into active, repeat buyers
- Design and refine the transaction model and deal workflow
- Set the product roadmap and work hands-on with the engineering team to ship it
- Partner with Anza's commercial teams to grow the Exchange
- Recruit, coach and grow the Exchange team as the business scales
- Report on performance and investment needs to the CEO and executive team
While no one individual will possess them all, the successful candidate will bring many of the following experiences, skills, and attributes:
- 8+ years of experience, including at least 3 years building or leading a two-sided marketplace, B2B platform or transaction-driven business
- Strong business development skills, with experience closing deals with enterprise or industrial counterparties
- Product management experience, including working directly with engineers to define, prioritize and ship features
- P&L ownership, or clear accountability for revenue and unit economics (big plus)
- Experience as a founder, early employee or GM of a new business line (plus)
- Experience in industrial equipment, energy, construction, logistics or other complex B2B supply chains (plus)
- Relationships with IPPs, developers, utilities, EPCs or equipment OEMs (plus)
- Comfortable working hands-on in a small team, with the ambition to build a large business

About this role
About Anza Renewables
Company Overview
Anza Renewables
Oakland, CA, United States
2022
No public employee count or revenue figures are available for 2023 or later, as Anza remains privately held with ECP as the lead investor following the acquisition (source: ecpgp.com).
What They Do
Anza Renewables is a private technology-enabled procurement marketplace that specializes in solar modules, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and transformers. The company was spun off from Borrego in September 2022 and is headquartered in Oakland, California (source: anzarenewables.com). Anza's core technology focus centers on operating a proprietary platform that aggregates technical and financial data from pre-vetted top-tier suppliers, enabling rapid procurement decisions based on lifetime value, risk, pricing, and supply chain dynamics rather than just upfront costs (source: anzarenewables.com). The platform provides real-time analytics for developers, independent power producers (IPPs), utilities, and EPCs, replacing manual research with insights into market volatility and optimal negotiations (source: anzarenewables.com). Services extend to full procurement support, including sourcing, contract execution, warehousing, logistics, BESS commissioning, and construction, backed by the team's execution of nearly 8 GW of solar procurements in the last five years (source: anzarenewables.com).
Projects & Track Record
Anza Renewables leverages Borrego's legacy of 1 GW in solar/BESS EPC, development, and O&M, with the Anza team directly handling nearly 8 GW of solar procurements over the past five years and 7.6+ GWh of BESS deployments in the last three years (source: anzarenewables.com). While specific completed project names, locations, capacities, or years are not detailed publicly, the company has worked with notable clients such as Ormat, Standard Solar, and Renewable Properties, achieving efficient procurement outcomes via its platform (source: anzarenewables.com). Ongoing efforts focus on platform-enabled procurements for U.S. developers, IPPs, utilities, and EPCs, with plans for expansion into more features for solar services, energy storage services, transformer procurement, and BESS commissioning (source: anzarenewables.com). The geographic presence is U.S.-centric, primarily supporting domestic projects from its Oakland base, with no announced international expansion (source: youtube.com).
Recent Developments
In the last two years, Anza formally launched its platform in September 2022 and completed its separation from Borrego on May 17, 2023, securing investment from an ECP-led consortium including Angeleno Group to fuel growth and platform enhancements (source: anzarenewables.com). ECP acquired Anza in May 2023, highlighting its potential to improve procurement for distributed generation and utility-scale buyers (source: ecpgp.com). No additional major contracts won, mergers, acquisitions, awards, certifications, or milestones are documented in available sources from 2024-2025 beyond ongoing platform procurements totaling over 8 GW PV and 5 GWh BESS purchase orders (source: anzarenewables.com).
Working There
Anza Renewables hires in various roles including procurement, strategic sourcing, operations, customer success, solutions engineering, and leadership positions. The core team comprises industry veterans from Borrego, with leaders like CEO Mike Hall and President Aaron Hall, both boasting over 20 years of experience in solar and module procurement (source: anzarenewables.com). Openings are likely at the Oakland, CA headquarters, which is the sole listed location and base for the core team (source: linkedin.com). The company culture emphasizes high-stakes problem-solving in a fast-evolving industry, drawing from Borrego's entrepreneurial origins and the need for tough decisions to survive in a competitive market (source: youtube.com). While specific benefits are not publicly documented, the post-2023 funding supports team expansion and platform growth, suggesting opportunities in a venture-backed environment focused on accelerating renewables via technology and expertise (source: anzarenewables.com).
