Client Success & Growth Manager

Mission Energy is a trusted advisor helping our clients advance their missions through the design, development, financing, and construction management of turnkey clean energy, storage, and efficiency projects. We work to empower any organization, primarily nonprofits, to implement and benefit from clean energy projects. Our rooftop, ground mount, carport, and BESS projects across the US range in size from 250kW – 5MW, typically 500-1,500kW.

We develop, finance, and own most of the projects we build.

At Mission Energy, our greatest sales asset is our track record. The Client Success & Growth Manager is the primary driver of new business for the firm. This is a high-impact, hybrid role: 70% Strategic Business Development & Sales and 30% Technical Account Management.

You are the primary post-construction face of Mission Energy, interfacing with executive-level clients. Your mission is to convert high-performing clean energy assets into a self-sustaining referral engine. You will be expected to operate with technical autonomy, resolving most moderate complexity client inquiries independently to ensure the Origination and Construction teams remain focused on new project development.
