Job Description

Role Purpose

LevelTen Energy is on a mission to accelerate the energy transition. We run the world's largest clean energy marketplace, connecting buyers and sellers, and enabling them to get deals done faster with cutting-edge market intelligence reports and software, and transaction tools. Since being founded in 2016, LevelTen's platform has facilitated over $14.8 billion in clean energy transactions.

Join us on a mission that matters.

As Senior Director of Origination, you will lead the customer engagement function for every active LevelTen account in the region — across developers, corporate and utility buyers, advisors, partners, and data center hyperscalers. Reporting to the VP of Customer Engagement, you will own the retention, expansion, and marketplace activation outcomes for the NA book of business and will be a senior voice on the Customer Engagement leadership team.

This is a builder role at a pivotal moment in the energy transition. Corporate buyers, hyperscalers, and developers all need better tools and trusted partners to navigate an accelerating clean energy market, and LevelTen's marketplace is the connective tissue. The Account Management team is the engine that turns subscriber relationships into long-term retention and recurring marketplace activity. You will set the playbook, raise the bar on team performance, and own a meaningful slice of LevelTen's recurring and transactional revenue.

• Be a credible, senior voice with C-suite stakeholders on the clean energy market, LevelTen's products, and the marketplace opportunity.
• Travel up to 15% for customer visits, industry events, and team gatherings.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to lead teams, extract complex challenges, and distill them into clear management recommendations and actions.
• Demonstrated ability to think strategically with the end in mind and develop plans that meaningfully impact an enterprise customer engagement function.
• Viewed as a leader within prior organizations by executive leadership and peers — with a track record of building credibility internally and externally.
