  • Lead the design and delivery of complex software solutions supporting Demand Side Management, Transportation Electrification, and other clean energy programs for utilities and grid operators.
  • Serve as a primary client-facing lead, engaging directly with stakeholders through workshops, working sessions, and on-site interactions to gather requirements and drive decisions.
  • Translate client business drivers, program requirements, and operational goals into scalable system designs and implementation strategies.
  • Develop and lead key client-facing deliverables, including gap analyses, use cases, and technical requirements/specifications.
  • Configure and implement business logic, workflows, user interfaces, and data structures, partnering with client technical teams for seamless integration.
  • Identify and implement opportunities to improve system efficiency, scalability, and user experience.
  • Provide ongoing advisory and post-launch support, maintaining strong client relationships.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Delivery teams to inform roadmap priorities.

Requirements

  • Preferred advanced degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Business Information Systems, or an MBA with a Technology Management focus, with consideration for significant relevant experience in lieu of formal education.
