Recurve is looking for a Manager of Demand FLEXmarkets who will be primarily responsible for leading the implementation of Demand FLEXmarkets. They will oversee and support all aspects of Market implementation and will work closely with clients, aggregators, and the Recurve team. They are responsible for collaborative program oversight and stewardship, process development and implementation, aggregator and client relationships, and more. 

At Recurve, we are dedicated to solving clean energy grid challenges to meet climate goals. Our company is building a platform that will unlock the flow of capital into demand-side energy resources that will be critical in this endeavor, including energy efficiency, electrification, and demand response. You will be joining an organization that places a high value on interoperability, transparency, communication, and collaboration, with no black boxes. We are 100% distributed, so we welcome applicants who are self-motivated and who thrive in a remote-working environment.

This role will be focused on implementation in California. However, the focus will expand as Recurve grows the Markets nationally and this role is expected to grow to focus on additional markets. 

In your day to day you’ll be focusing on responsibilities in these areas:

• Program Management - The Markets succeed when our stakeholders have concrete information and analytics they can use to establish a foundation for confidence in the Demand FLEXmarkets. Therefore, a key part of this role will be working with clients and aggregators throughout their relationship with Recurve to:

  • Manage all aspects of Demand FLEXmarket implementation

  • Support market actors and clients on how to use Recurve’s platform and connect analytics and metered impacts to grid value, incentives, utility rates, and procurements

  • Design and manage the preparation of analytics and reporting deliverables

  • Serve as a subject matter expert to help market actors understand the value of DFM programs and maximize grid impacts and value for the Market ecosystem.

  • Lead regular stakeholder check-ins 

  • Identify opportunities for additional value-add work

• Stakeholder and Subcontractor Management - Recurve exists in a complex ecosystem of utilities, grid operators, regulators, program implementers, aggregators, and subcontractors. The success of our DFM programs is contingent on effectively influencing and/or directly managing these parties. Supported by Recurve’s experienced leadership, the DFM Manager will work with our clients to successfully navigate and influence this ecosystem and translate feedback and insights into actionable improvements to the design and implementation of DFMs.

• Report and Proposal Authorship – Based on their understanding of project scopes and client/aggregator needs the successful candidate will assist in authoring compelling reports that showcase how Recurve’s offerings can enable better DSM programs.  

• Tools Development - Delivering innovative, targeted and actionable solutions for market actors is critical for Market success. The DFM Manager will be responsible for identifying growth opportunities and fostering innovation across the Recurve team to continually improve program design, delivery, and engagement.

• Conferences and Presentations – Though this position is not designed for a heavy travel schedule, Recurve encourages its employees to make connections, build networks, and present our vision and results publically. This role will have some opportunity to travel for meetings and conferences and help develop relationships and business.
