ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

• Lead business development efforts related to supply-side energy services, including renewable PPAs, virtual PPAs, green tariffs, and energy hedging.
• Cultivate and manage relationships with energy buyers (end users), IPPs, utilities, and energy aggregators.
• Advise clients on procurement strategies, energy risk management, and decarbonization pathways tied to supply-side solutions.
• Translate market opportunities into actionable energy programs for hyperscale, collocation, and enterprise data center operators.
• Monitor and interpret power market trends (ISO/RTOs, capacity markets, LMPs, REC pricing) and communicate their implications for stakeholders.
• Develop financial models and risk profiles for energy contracts, helping clients and internal teams understand lifecycle costs and value.
• Support client ESG goals by aligning supply-side energy programs with investor expectations, shareholder reports, and sustainability frameworks.
• Coordinate with internal teams on cross-functional initiatives that tie supply and demand-side energy strategies into a cohesive offering.
• Represent DLB at industry events, conferences, and with energy regulatory bodies when appropriate.
