  • Serve as the primary commercial interface between customers and internal project teams throughout the transaction lifecycle. 
  • Partner with executive leadership to develop and refine the company's commercial strategy, market entry plans, and customer engagement initiatives. 
  • Collaborate with development, finance, legal, transmission, regulatory, and engineering teams to advance project commercialization activities. 
  • Support project financing initiatives, including tax equity, debt financing, cash equity, and M&A transactions by providing commercial analysis and market insights. 
  • Lead cross-functional teams to develop innovative commercial structures and customer solutions that enhance project competitiveness. 
  • Additional tasks as assigned.
