You’ll lead day-to-day execution across projects with utilities, energy tech startups, and innovation-forward corporates. You’ll scope strategy, design creative engagement structures, direct analysis, and help translate insights into pilots, tools, and venture concepts that can scale. This is not a role for someone who prefers a playbook; this is for someone who knows when to write a new one.\nYou’ll act as the primary interface for client stakeholders, lead internal and external workstreams, and play a critical role in shaping how Realize builds ventures, validates new ideas, and turns early concepts into products and commercial offerings, particularly around emerging grid technologies.\nWhat You’ll DoClient & Project Leadership\nOwn and run client engagements from initial framing through delivery\n\nServe as the primary client point of contact, translating ambiguous goals into executable strategies and clear build/test priorities\n\nScope and deliver analytical, commercial, and strategic outputs, often in fast-moving, ambiguous environments\n\nStructure workshops, develop discovery frameworks, and synthesize insights that help clients make real-world decisions about what to pilot, build, or scale\n\nStrategic Innovation\nDesign and test new business models with utilities and their partners\n\nBring a systems-thinking lens to engagements that span infrastructure, policy, market development, and product adoption\n\nIdentify whitespace opportunities for spinouts, commercialization, or productization of new capabilities\n\nHelp shape internal IP and toolkits for engagement repeatability and reusable product or platform concepts\n\nTeam Development\nManage 1–3-person teams on most projects, including analysts and subject-matter collaborators\n\nProvide thoughtful feedback and mentorship to support skill growth\n\nCollaborate with senior partners to refine Realize’s consulting and venture- and product-building offerings\n\nYou Might Be a Fit If You Have\n6+ years of relevant experience in strategy consulting, energy innovation, product development, or venture building\n\nA consulting toolkit (problem structuring, stakeholder synthesis, slide design, analysis) paired with experience taking ideas from concept to pilot or MVP\n\nExperience with energy system actors: utilities, developers, government, or gridtech startups\n\nStrong financial modeling skills and an ability to quickly structure models in new domains (e.g., PPAs, undergrounding economics, DER value stacks)\n\nComfort working with emerging tech, including AI and energy software\n\nOutstanding communication and interpersonal skills\n\nCuriosity, urgency, and humility\n\nBonus Points For\nExperience working inside a utility or leading engagements for them\n\nA track record of launching or advising early-stage ventures or products\n\nExposure to grid planning, data center siting, distributed energy, or grid modernization\n\nFamiliarity with public-private funding strategies or energy policy\n\nWhat We Offer\nMeaningful work that shapes the future of the grid and energy innovation\n\nFlat, entrepreneurial culture where your ideas can become ventures\n\nExposure to top-tier clients and founders across the energy ecosystem\n\nCompetitive compensation and flexibility in where and how you work\n\nThis is a contract with Potential toward W2. \n\nOriginally posted on
