Sausalito, United States 38 Degrees North Full time

Manager or VP of Project Development – Distributed Solar & Energy Storage


Founded in 2015 and based in Sausalito, California, 38 Degrees North, (38DN) is an established platform focused on advancing distributed renewables solutions, serving as a development partner, asset owner, and operator. The founders have a track record of over 4GW and $8.5B of capital formation prior to forming 38DN. With a depth of experience in energy transition capital partnerships, the company specializes in community solar, distributed generation and battery storage, while opportunistically evaluating other sustainable infrastructure assets. Its approach is geared toward cultivating lasting relationships and designing dependable and flexible solutions that provide clear visibility into portfolio value creation. In January 2024, 38 Degrees North announced a growth equity investment from S2G Ventures, a leading multi-stage investment firm focused on the energy transition, food, agriculture, and oceans. With the investment from S2G, 38DN looks to accelerate its growth by partnering with local communities, customers, and community and distributed solar and storage developers to deploy capital into assets across the development spectrum.


Job Description:

38DN is seeking a Manager or VP of Project Development with a focus on an existing network in distributed commercial and industrial (C&I) solar and energy storage projects. This role offers a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing team committed to scaling clean energy solutions across the country. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in developing and implementing regional strategies including securing sites and off-takers, and managing development activities while working closely with internal teams and external partners. While this position is flexible regarding location, there’s a preference for candidates located in the Bay Area.


In this capacity, you will:

  • Lead development efforts for distributed solar and energy storage projects, from feasibility to construction, focusing on the C&I sector.
  • Develop and execute regional strategies to expand 38 Degrees North’s project portfolio, leveraging your existing network and identifying new market opportunities.
  • Manage development joint ventures with local partners.
  • Prospect and Greenfield develop new sites and offtake agreements, including customer proposals and RFP identification and responses.
  • Manage development and project implementation efforts internally and via third-party consultants, including land acquisition, title clean-up, environmental reviews, permitting, and interconnection.
  • Ownership of project economics in coordination with the project finance and accounting teams.
  • Collaborate with internal teams (e.g., Development, Origination, Engineering & EPC, Finance, and Asset Management) to ensure seamless project execution and delivery.
  • Manage stakeholder relationships, including landowners, local authorities, and customers, to ensure alignment throughout the development process.
  • Stay updated on key policy changes and market trends impacting distributed generation and energy storage, both regionally and nationally.
  • Oversee project timelines and budgets, ensuring that all projects are progressing on schedule and within financial targets.
  • Contribute to strategic discussions about project financing and structuring, including PPA, lease agreements, and other contract mechanisms.
  • Support the development and mentorship of junior team members.


Qualifications:

  • 5-7+ years of experience in the renewable energy industry, with a strong track record in distributed solar and/or energy storage project development, particularly within the C&I sector.
  • Demonstrated ability to build and manage relationships with C&I customers, landowners, stakeholders, and local authorities. Existing C&I customer rolodex is a plus.
  • Strong knowledge of project development of distributed solar and storage projects, including land acquisition, permitting, interconnection, and construction.
  • Experience developing C&I customer value propositions, including utility tariff and rate analysis and power market strategies.
  • Familiarity with financing structures such as power purchase agreements (PPAs) and lease agreements within the C&I space.
  • Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, with a proven ability to work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
  • Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, environmental science, or a related field; advanced degree preferred.


Employment:

  • Full-time salaried position with competitive compensation (base & bonus).
  • In addition to base salary, this position is eligible for equity compensation.
  • Ability to participate in 401(k), company Benefit Plan, and company-provided health insurance.
