Originator

Intersect has been a fully flexible workplace since its founding in 2016. We’ve been very intentional about the way we do things. We are not work-from-home, hybrid, or in-office - we are any and all of those options! Deepening social connections and offering shared experiences is a cornerstone of the way we work. We connect as a team at our Team Week experiences four times a year and at our recently established Hub locations - SF Bay Area, NYC Metro Area, NY;
Denver, CO;
Austin, TX;
Calgary, AB; and Toronto, ON.

We are currently looking for candidates located within 60 miles of any of the listed hubs to foster more in-person connections while maintaining our flexible remote culture.

As an Originator on Intersect's Origination and Trading team, you'll help support the marketing, structuring, and execution of energy off-take contracts. You will operate across two primary work streams, with your time split between our power and natural gas origination and initiatives. In power origination, you will help support negotiating and closing long-term clean energy Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), BESS, and Gas Tolls for grid and off-grid projects.

For the natural gas workstream, you will help support negotiating and closing pipeline firm transport and gas supply contracts. Partnering closely with Strategy, Development, and Modeling teams, you will navigate market ambiguities to turn complex opportunities into financeable, high-value transactions. This role is planned to start in November 2026.

This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect's mission to accelerate the clean energy transition. The Origination and Trading group is responsible for the sales, structuring, and execution of power and gas product agreements for the project pipeline, as well as managing merchant energy exposure for the operating fleet. Joining this team means shaping commercial strategy, driving high-stakes counter party deals, and growing alongside collaborative experts focused on long-run infrastructure value.
