At Sunrun, we're on a mission to change the way the world interacts with energy, and we're building a company and brand that puts power at the center of life. To do it, we're designing a dynamic culture where employee development, well-being, and safety come first. It's why we've become the #1 home solar and battery company in America. We're unlike any other residential energy company. Our vertically integrated model gives us total control over every part of the energy lifecycle - from sale through installation and beyond - so you can find endless opportunities for growth. Come join a career you can grow in and a culture you can run with. Who We Are We're on a mission to make energy more reliable and affordable for more people. We provide an opportunity with storage and solar to help people access greater energy independence without the big upfront costs. Sunrun is the largest dedicated residential solar and storage company in the country and has a mission to bring stably priced resilient power to the masses. OVERVIEW Sunrun's business model is complex and subject to a large body of dynamic inputs (both controllable and non-controllable) which impact our unit economics on an ongoing basis. Understanding and responding to these inputs in real time is critical to achieving strong, predictable financial outcomes. The Pricing team plays a critical role in developing the modeling frameworks that represent our storage and solar project economics and driving commercial decisions involving pricing and sales commissions to maximize profitability across the portfolio. As the Senior Associate, Strategic Pricing, you will lead the development and maintenance of sophisticated pricing tools and processes that serve as the single source of truth for project proceeds and cost assumptions. You will work in tight coordination with senior leadership to drive expedient, coordinated decision-making with the goal of maximizing our profitability outcomes. This role sits at the intersection of finance, product, and revenue strategy, requiring you to ensure that finance leadership can quickly interpret and certify economic outputs while revenue strategy relies on your models for competitive proposals. You will be responsible for recommending and executing new forms of pricing and commissions that accomplish corporate objectives, following through with change management and execution across various revenue channels. You will initiate regular collaboration with sales and operations leadership to understand pricing trade-offs and opportunities that increase profitability while enabling robust volume growth. By maintaining key competitive benchmarks and market share reports, you will also ensure our pricing remains competitive in the market. Success in this role requires an exceptional balance of finance acumen and "get it done" grit. You must be able to operate both at a high level-influencing boardroom decisions-and in the weeds of complex financial modeling. We are looking for an impact-oriented leader who prioritizes solutions that yield the greatest return on time and effort, driving continuous improvement through a crawl-walk-run approach to sophisticated financial problems.
