Reporting to the VP of Strategic Finance, the Commercial Director will run the end-to-end process to move complex, multi-stakeholder transactions from proposal/LOI through contracting and toward execution. Our deals often involve multiple parties, customers, development partners, asset owners/investors, and contractors, and this role is central to “threading the needle” across stakeholders while preserving Peak Power’s economics and ensuring agreements are financeable and executable.

You’ll own the commercial process for specific transactions (divided across the commercial/strategic finance team), drive internal coordination and external momentum, and elevate when decisions or exceptions are required. This is a high-visibility role with meaningful impact on deal velocity, deal quality, and organizational scalability.

• Own the end-to-end commercial process for a portfolio of transactions (assigned deal-by-deal), including energy services, partnerships, EPC , and asset- sale related work streams.
• Drive the transaction plan: stakeholders, timeline, dependencies, open issues, risks, and next actions, ensuring nothing stalls due to unclear ownership or missing inputs.
• Collaborate across the Strategic Finance, Legal, Operations and Development teams to drive a single, aligned company position on commercial terms, obligations, and economics.
• Participate in internal and external meetings to advance negotiation, align on issues, and close loops with counter parties.
• Maintain structured deal artifacts and ensure decisions are documented and communicated.

• Bring high EQ and strong stakeholder management across diverse personalities and functions, specifically under pressure and shifting priorities.

• Help improve and standardize templates, workflows, and best practices to reduce rework and reliance on “heroics.”
• Bring comfort with GenAI tools: use them (appropriately and securely) to accelerate drafting, summarization, issue tracking, and stakeholder updates. You don’t need to be an expert, but curious about new tech and leveraging these tools.

• 5+ years of experience running commercial / transaction processes in complex deal environments (distributed energy, infrastructure, renewables, storage, or similarly complex B2B contexts).
• You have broad commercial experience, and ideally a specialty in one domain (e.g., contracting/legal, project finance, or project development)
• Strong contracting fluency and comfort engaging directly with counter parties; able to translate business needs into clear positions and documentation.
