Hiring: Head of Business Development Company: Ambrosia Energy Location: Redwood City, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-16 14:49:02 Employment Type: Contract / On-site Target Skills & Keywords : Microsoft Excel About the job Experience: •Comfortable evaluating inorganic opportunities, such as land or late-stage project acquisitions, as a complement to organic site development, though this is not a day-one expectation. •Operational familiarity with utility tariff structures and the regulatory and tax considerations that affect behind-the-meter project economics, such as rate design, property tax abatements, and economic development incentives. Required Skills: •Support data-driven site identification for behind-the-meter deployments, evaluating land and site suitability, local utility tariff structures, and site-level constraints using GIS and spatial analysis tools. •Partner with Ambrosia Energy's land and site-selection consulting firm on site leases, easements, and landlord-tenant agreements. •Provide context specific to energy and project-development that a generalist land consultant won't have, shape site criteria, and validate technical fit. •Interface directly with Ambrosia Energy's engineering team to build the technical interconnection between our generation and storage assets and a customer's on-site electrical infrastructure, including substation interfaces, switchgear capacity, and site electrical design. •Guide the site-level permitting strategy (zoning, environmental, and fire and electrical code approvals for battery storage, including NFPA 855 and NEC/NFPA 70) to validate feasibility, keep projects on schedule, and shape deal terms. •Track regulatory and market shifts, and build toward front-of-the-meter, utility-scale grid interconnection capability, including ISO/RTO queue management, interconnection agreements, and utility negotiation, as Ambrosia Energy expands beyond behind-the-meter. •Own and build project financial models to evaluate IRR, NPV, and cash flows for individual assets and site portfolios, continuously validating inputs such as EPC capital costs, real estate costs, manufacturing and engineering complexity, interconnection costs, and data center host tariff structures. •Model the behind-the-meter value streams that matter most to data center hosts, including power reliability and resiliency, demand charge management, and peak shaving, sized to each host's tariff structure and criticality requirements. Qualifications: •Bachelor's degree, though not required in a specific field; we care more about a demonstrated track record in project development, financial modeling, and deal negotiation than the field of study. Finance, engineering, business, or a quantitative discipline is a plus, and an MBA or advanced technical degree is a further plus. •5+ years of progressive experience in renewable energy project development, with a track record of bringing at least 500 MW of US solar or battery storage projects to Notice to Proceed or commercial operation. •Advanced proficiency building and maintaining Excel-based project financial models for high-density commercial and industrial, behind-the-meter solar, storage, or microgrid economics. •Comfortable engaging directly with customer teams in a supporting capacity, including Q&A, technical scoping, and contract and performance follow-through. Compensation: •$140,000 - $160,000 / year Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
