- Serve as AGent's foremost expert (internally and externally) on U.S. wholesale energy markets — PJM, MISO, NYISO, ISONE, ERCOT, and beyond
- Partner with the CEO and GTM leadership to develop AGent's market prioritization strategy — identifying where to compete, when to enter new markets, and how to maximize portfolio value
- Apply market knowledge to commercial execution: help the sales team understand program economics, articulate value to prospects, and position AGent competitively
- Identify and prioritize regulatory hurdles across target markets — assessing which barriers represent the greatest risk to commercial opportunity and developing a clear-eyed strategy for navigating them
- Monitor regulatory developments across ISO/RTOs and translate their implications into strategic recommendations for the leadership team
- Actively engage with ISO/RTO and utility stakeholders to influence regulatory policy and build relationships that benefit AGent's market access and positioning
- Own the end-to-end lifecycle of MW participation across all AGent markets: registration, offer management, dispatch operations, and settlement
- Build and implement internal protocols that align AGent's operations with the tariffs and operational procedures of each ISO/RTO we participate in
- Ensure 100% of MW are registered, validated, and in market ahead of every seasonal start
- Own program milestone delivery and all related operational deadlines
- Build or buy the tools and technology necessary to achieve operational excellence across market operations
- Lead, and develop the Energy Markets team: setting a high bar for rigor, accountability, and continuous improvement
- Work cross-functionally with Engineering, Dispatch & Customer Operations, and GTM to ensure all systems, data flows, and customer-facing processes are aligned and symbiotic
- Partner with the VP of Product & Engineering to ensure the platform roadmap reflects market operational requirements and regulatory realities
- Support the GTM team with market intelligence, program economics tools, and prospect-facing materials that sharpen the sales process
- Own data acquisition, analysis, and management across AGent's market portfolio
- Lead load modeling and performance forecasting to maximize MW earnings across programs
- Build and maintain the metrics and KPIs that give leadership real-time visibility into market performance, portfolio health, and progress toward strategic goals
- Drive continuous improvement in offer optimization, settlement accuracy, and overall market performance

- Deep, hands-on experience in U.S. wholesale energy markets — you have operated in ISO/RTO markets
- Demonstrated experience registering MW with grid operators and managing the full participation lifecycle across multiple markets
- Strong working knowledge of ISO/RTO tariffs, operational procedures, and the regulatory frameworks that govern wholesale market participation
- Experience building internal operational protocols and systems that scale across markets and teams
- Commercially-minded — you can connect market knowledge to business strategy, sales execution, and growth prioritization
- Proven experience leading and developing teams in a fast-moving, data-driven environment
- Strong Python and SQL skills — you are comfortable working with data at a technical level; Snowflake and Sigma experience a plus
- Exceptional communicator — you can present to a board, brief the sales team, and engage an ISO policy team, all with equal credibility
