Piper Maddox is partnered with a well-capitalized independent power producer focused on developing, owning, and operating utility-scale battery energy storage assets across the United States.

 

As the organization continues to scale its storage platform, they are hiring a Business Development Manager to lead the origination, structuring, and negotiation of revenue contracts and commercial agreements across a growing development pipeline.

 

This is a high-impact, greenfield origination role where the individual will be responsible for identifying and advancing commercial opportunities from early-stage engagement through to execution - helping shape how the company monetizes its battery storage portfolio in key U.S. power markets.

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Originate and negotiate revenue contracts, offtake agreements, and structured commercial deals across utility-scale storage assets
  • Lead commercial discussions with utilities, offtakers, developers, and market counterparties
  • Support project acquisitions, divestitures, and structured transaction activity where applicable
  • Build and maintain long-term stakeholder relationships to expand commercial pipeline coverage
  • Develop pricing, term sheets, and commercial proposals for RFPs and market opportunities
  • Provide market intelligence and feedback to development, finance, and strategy teams

 

What We’re Looking For

  • 3–7+ years of experience in business development, origination, power markets, or structured energy transactions
  • Strong track record in relationship-driven sales or complex commercial deal execution
  • Experience supporting or leading commercial negotiations, contracting, or revenue agreements
  • Strong understanding of U.S. power markets (PJM preferred; ERCOT, NYISO, CAISO also relevant)
  • Ability to evaluate deal economics and commercial structures (Excel modeling a plus, not required)
  • Comfortable operating in a high-autonomy, pipeline-building environment from scratch
