Position Summary 

CleanCapital owns and operates a growing portfolio of distributed generation (DG) solar and battery storage assets — approximately 400 sites at ~500MW today, scaling toward 1.5GW over the next two to three years. We are hiring a Director of Commercial Asset Management to build and lead this function from the ground up: today, commercial asset management sits without a dedicated senior owner, managed across other verticals on an ad hoc basis. The Director will hold commercial P&L accountability for the portfolio — owning revenue performance, budgeting, and variance management — while managing the counterparty relationships, contracts, and compliance obligations that drive portfolio performance, working closely with Technical Asset Management, Accounting, and Treasury/Finance to keep the portfolio on plan. We are looking for an AI-curious, forward-thinking candidate who actively integrates AI tools into their daily professional routine. 

Core Responsibilities 

P&L & Financial Accountability 

  • Hold commercial P&L accountability for the portfolio, owning revenue performance, annual budget development, and variance review against plan 

  • Lead annual operating budget development and ongoing variance review for the commercial asset base 

  • Serve as the primary financial and commercial escalation point when cost trends (O&M, capex timing) threaten margin, revenue, or covenant compliance — providing formal input into technical/opex budgeting cycles in partnership with Technical Asset Management, though budget approval authority for technical opex remains with TAM 

  • Deliver monthly/quarterly variance reporting to the COO, identifying root causes and corrective actions for material deviations from plan 

  • Conduct distribution review, ensuring cash distributions align with waterfall terms, DSCR compliance, and Watch List protocol status 

Contracts, Revenue & Compliance 

  • Manage offtake agreements, PPAs, and lease/easement compliance across ~350+ sites, including tracking key contractual milestones, escalations, and renewal windows 

  • Lead revenue assurance efforts, identifying and resolving billing discrepancies, disputed accounts, and counterparty non-performance in coordination with Legal  

  • Manage community solar subscriber managers and ensure accuracy of reporting  

  • Manage SREC contracting and ongoing compliance across applicable state programs 

  • Own property tax oversight across the portfolio in coordination with third party advisors  

  • Support corporate compliance requirements 

Counterparty & Cross-Functional Management 

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for counterparty relationship management — offtakers, landowners, utilities, subscriber managers, and various third parties  

  • Partner with Technical Asset Management and Accounting to reconcile performance shortfalls (e.g., P50 vs. actual generation) against contractual and lender obligations 

  • Eye towards maximizing asset-level economics – explore cost saving measures (O&M, insurance, property tax, etc.) and revenue enhancing opportunities (refinancing opportunities in coordination with Investments; offtake extensions, BESS retrofitting and repowering in coordination with Growth and Technical Asset Management) 

  • Support debt compliance workstreams and Watch List protocol items that touch commercial terms 

  • Explore avenues to expand our land stewardship practices (sheep grazing, agrivoltaics, etc.) and community engagement strategies  

Team & Function Build 

  • Build out a scalable operating structure for portfolio commercial oversight as the fleet scales toward 1.5GW 

  • Research and onboard enhanced compliance and reporting tools as necessary  

  • Hire and develop a team as portfolio complexity and headcount needs grow 

Education Requirements 

  • Bachelor's degree required; MBA or equivalent experience a plus 

Technical Skills and Experience 

  • Proven AI literacy, including understanding AI strengths, limitations, and ethical considerations. 

  • 7+ years in commercial asset management, contract administration, or portfolio management within renewable energy, specifically Distributed Generation (DG) solar and BESS  

  • Direct experience with PPAs, offtake agreements, or lease/easement structures in solar, storage, or another distributed energy asset class 

  • Experience owning a budget and being measured against variance to plan, ideally across a multi-site or multi-entity asset base 

  • Experience with property tax administration, SREC markets, and/or renewable energy incentive compliance strongly preferred 

Psychosocial Skills /Human Skills/Behavioral Skills 

  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills. 

  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to take ideas and run with them from concept to conclusion. 

  • Technical understanding of clean energy business processes 

  • Exceptional verbal and writing communication skills with superiors, peers, partners, and other stakeholders. 

  • Excellent interpersonal skills while managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment. 

  • Excellence in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
