Join Us to Lead the Energy Transition

Ascend Analytics is on a mission to accelerate the transition to a clean, reliable, and data-optimized energy future. We’re looking for an exceptional President & Chief Operating Officer (COO) to help us scale that mission to its full potential. If you're a seasoned operator who thrives at the intersection of purpose and performance—and you’re energized by the opportunity to help shape the future of a category-defining enterprise SaaS company—this is your moment.

As President & COO, you will be the architect and driver of operational excellence across the organization. You’ll transform strategic vision into executable plans, unify teams around bold goals, and ensure the entire company runs with clarity, purpose, and precision. You’ll be stepping into a pivotal role at a high-growth, high-impact company—where your leadership will shape industries, influence markets, and accelerate real-world progress toward a decarbonized grid.

What You’ll Do

Lead the Operational Engine

• Take command of company operations—overseeing product delivery, customer experience, revenue operations, and internal systems.

• Build and scale repeatable, data-driven processes that support sustainable growth and performance.

• Align every team behind clearly defined KPIs and operational plans that map directly to company objectives.

• Partner with the CEO to turn vision into action—and results.

Drive Revenue & Market Impact

• Collaborate closely with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Customer Success to create a seamless, high-performing customer journey.

• Strengthen the go-to-market engine with insights, systems, and accountability that drive acquisition, retention, and expansion.

• Ensure operational readiness as we scale into new markets, sectors, and product offerings.

Build a Culture That Scales

• Foster a culture of excellence, ownership, and agility—where performance and purpose go hand in hand.

• Attract, mentor, and empower top-tier talent; build an organizational structure that grows with the business.

• Bring clarity and focus during moments of rapid change or ambiguity—leading with empathy, confidence, and vision.

Be a Strategic Financial Partner

• Co-own financial performance, planning, and forecasting with the CEO and CFO.

• Optimize capital allocation and resource deployment to balance growth and efficiency.

• Provide rigorous operational insight and accountability to board members and investors.

Lead Through Transformation & Scale

• Deploy systems, infrastructure, and processes that turn complexity into clarity and chaos into consistency.

• Drive major initiatives, including new product rollouts, geographic expansion, and post-M&A integration.

• Create the operational runway that allows innovation to thrive without losing control or cohesion.

What You Bring

• 15+ years of experience of either electric power industry experience or B2B SaaS or enterprise technology, including 5+ years in executive leadership roles scaling organizations.

• Proven executive leadership in the power industry addressing critical decision analytics for utilities, power producers, or large consumers of electricity.

• Strong command of SaaS economics and operational frameworks (CAC, CLTV, churn, payback, gross margin, etc.).

• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams with decisiveness, authenticity, and inspiration.

• Willingness to roll up your sleeves, dive into the details, and solve problems hands-on when necessary.

• Experience implementing tools and systems (CRM, ERP, analytics)…
