Job Description
Key Responsibilities
Executive Relationship Management
- Build and maintain trusted, ongoing relationships with senior leaders across Gridsight’s U.S. customer base—not just at key milestones, but continuously.
- Represent Gridsight at the most senior levels of the U.S. power and utilities sector, ensuring we remain front of mind for strategic conversations.
- Act as a credible peer to utility leadership. You will be technically informed, commercially sharp and deeply familiar with the pressures facing electric utilities today.
Commercial & Product Direction
- Translate what you hear from utility leadership into clear commercial and product signals for Gridsight, separating genuine strategic need from tactical noise.
- Work closely with the CEO and Product teams to ensure U.S. market and roadmap priorities reflect what our utility partners actually need.
- Lead Quarterly Business Reviews with our U.S. partners. These are strategic conversations that reinforce value, surface emerging challenges, identify where Gridsight can add more value, and strengthen our position as a long-term transformation partner.
Value Articulation & Business Case Development
- Articulate, measure and communicate the value Gridsight delivers to our utility partners and their customers.
- Develop robust business cases and ROI analyses that support investment decisions and demonstrate ongoing, quantifiable impact.
Thought Leadership
- Represent Gridsight across the U.S. power sector through industry events, utility forums, LinkedIn, podcasts and other relevant channels.
- Contribute to Gridsight’s reputation as the leading grid-technology partner for U.S. utilities, reinforcing our commitment to the market as we scale globally.
Qualifications
Experience
- Deep experience in or adjacent to U.S. electric utilities. You understand how these organizations operate, how regulatory and investment decisions are made, and what their leadership teams care about.
- Demonstrated ability to build trusted, senior relationships in the U.S. power sector. You are known and respected in the industry.
- A track record of navigating complex, high-stakes stakeholder environments at the COO, EVP, SVP or equivalent level.
- A strong commercial background. You know how to develop a business case and demonstrate value in the context of utility priorities and constraints.
Technical Skills
- Technical depth to engage substantively with utility executives and technical leaders on distribution operations, DER integration, grid planning, interconnection and related domains.
- The ability to translate technical complexity into clear commercial and strategic language.
Commercial & Interpersonal Skills
- You are an exceptional communicator—credible and compelling whether presenting to a board, running a QBR or contributing to industry debate.
- You have the commercial acumen to connect operational and technical realities to business value and investment decisions.
Attributes
- Gravitas: you command respect in a room of senior power-sector leaders.
- Strategic thinking: you identify what matters most and focus energy accordingly.
- Ownership: you are a self-starter who takes responsibility for outcomes and operates effectively with significant autonomy.
- Resilience and adaptability: Gridsight is a technology company, not a utility. You are energized by the opportunity and challenge of operating differently.
Helpful But Not Essential
- Prior experience in a strategy, market development or commercial leadership role at a technology or SaaS company.
- Existing relationships with senior leaders at U.S. electric utilities.
- Familiarity with U.S. utility regulatory structures and state-level market dynamics.
What We Offer
- Join a rapidly scaling, venture-backed company at a pivotal moment in its growth.
- Highly competitive compensation and meaningful equity.
- A seat at the table as a core member of the U.S. leadership team, reporting directly to the CEO and shaping how Gridsight shows up and grows in the market.
- A flexible U.S.-based working environment, with regular travel to customers and industry events.
- Real impact on the United States’ energy transition and global decarbonization efforts.
