This position serves as the single point of accountability for ensuring contractual performance commitments are met; financial leakage is prevented, and underperformance is identified, remediated, and recovered in a disciplined, audit-ready manner.

  • Serve as the primary point of contact with utilities, VPP aggregators, and incentive administrators.
  • Ensure accurate settlement, reconciliation, and reporting of VPP revenues payments.
  • Prevent value leakage by ensuring assets are only enrolled, billed, and settled when eligible and owned.
  • Performance Guarantee Management

  • Own performance guarantee obligations across the TPO portfolio, including contractual interpretation, tracking, and enforcement.
  • Monitor asset performance against guaranteed thresholds and identify root causes of underperformance.
  • Coordinate remediation efforts with servicing teams, O&M providers, installers, insurers, and asset owners.
  • Manage performance guarantee claims, including documentation, validation, submission, recovery tracking, and resolution.
  • Controls, Reporting & Governance

  • Design and maintain scalable, well-documented processes and controls related to asset performance, incentives, and performance guarantees.
  • Produce regular reporting for senior leadership covering performance trends, financial exposure, recoveries, and unresolved risks.
  • Partner with Risk, Legal, Finance, and Compliance to ensure alignment with contractual obligations, regulatory expectations, and accounting treatment.
  • Ensure processes are audit-ready and capable of supporting portfolio growth.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Act as the internal subject matter expert for asset performance obligations, incentives, and value assurance mechanisms.
  • Coordinate closely with Servicing, Asset Management, Operations, Finance, Legal, and external vendors.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives such as programs, counterparties, and portfolio complexity evolve.
  • REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree in business, finance, or related field with a minimum of 8+ years of professional work experience including 5-8 years of work experience in asset management, operations, risk, finance, or energy services.
  • Experience managing performance driven contractual obligations (e.g., guarantees, SLAs, incentives, and / or revenue-sharing structures).
  • Ability to lead and manage a team while meeting operational and business goals and objectives.
  • Strong analytical and financial acumen with demonstrated ability to quantify exposure and prevent value leakage.
  • Proven ability to build and operate process-driven programs with clear controls and accountability.
  • Strong stakeholder management and cross-functional leadership skills.
  • PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Experience with distributed energy resources (DERs), VPPs, or utility-facing programs.
  • Familiarity with TPO solar portfolios (leases, PPA, managed assets).
  • Experience with insurer-backed guarantees, claims processes, or risk transfer structures.
  • Advanced Excel and reporting skills; familiarity with asset monitoring or servicing platforms is a plus.
