Solar Operations Jobs in Georgia (NOW HIRING)

Wattch enables observability, intelligence, and control for renewable energy systems of all types and sizes. As an emerging leader in monitoring and control technology, we serve customers in the solar, battery storage, and hydroelectric industries, with over 2,000 customer power plants around the world connected to our platform. Our ultimate goal is to provide interoperability for every device in the world that produces or consumes energy.

As Wattch's Head of Operations, you will manage the systems, processes, and people that deliver our hardware and software solutions to customers around the world. This is a senior leadership role responsible for the full project delivery lifecycle, from vendor strategy and procurement through hardware fulfillment, project execution, and closeout, as well as the operational infrastructure that makes it all run reliably at scale.

You'll build and maintain the operational backbone of the business: defining standards, owning our tooling, leading a team of operations ICs and contractors, and acting as the senior escalation point when systemic issues arise. Working closely with the CEO and cross-functional peers in Sales, Customer Success, and Engineering, you'll translate ambiguous challenges into clear decisions, documented policies, and scalable processes.

This is a rare opportunity to shape how an ambitious, fast-growing cleantech company delivers on its promises, with the authority, visibility, and resources to do it right.

• Ensuring robust and accurate data collection for license creation, invoicing, and project closeout, closing gaps before they compound
• Collaborating with Sales and Customer Success to adjudicate process exceptions and maintain policy consistency across customer-facing workflows
• Evaluating and prioritizing investments in tooling, automation, or headcount to improve operational throughput and quality
• Supporting significant cross-functional initiatives, including finance, compliance, or product delivery milestones that intersect with operations

• Have 8–10+ years of operations experience, including meaningful time in a physical product business, construction, or a field-services environment
• Have led teams and managed both direct reports and contractors, with a track record of developing strong individual contributors
• Are a systems thinker who can design scalable processes from scratch and document them with clarity and precision
• Make decisions confidently in ambiguous situations and hold the line on policy while remaining pragmatic about edge cases
• Are equally comfortable in the weeds of operational data and in strategic conversations with executive leadership
• Communicate with directness and credibility across functions, including Sales, CS, Finance, and Engineering, to drive alignment without formal authority
• Live in (or are willing to relocate to) Atlanta

• Have owned or significantly shaped an ERP implementation or migration
• Have experience in renewable energy, cleantech, or infrastructure technology
• Have managed hardware supply chains, including vendor negotiation and inventory planning
• Are familiar with project management methodologies and tools used in field deployment or construction environments
