Communities Power - Operations Manager/General Manager

Build a Solar and Electrical Services Empire from the Ground Up

Communities Power is transforming energy access in underserved communities. We provide residential solar installation, community solar projects, and residential electrical services—while creating meaningful jobs and supporting people with disabilities.

The Opportunity We're seeking a hungry, entrepreneurial Operations Manager/General Manager who wants to build something from scratch and own a piece of it. This isn't a typical 9-5 job—this is a founder-level opportunity for someone ready to roll up their sleeves and create a thriving solar and electrical services business in Detroit.

Here's the deal: As founder, I'm stepping back to let you lead. You'll have full autonomy to build teams, set strategy, and run operations. I'm here to protect our mission and support major decisions, but this is your show. If you want to run a company without someone looking over your shoulder, this is it.

  • What You'll Do Build and lead teams across sales, installation, and operations.
  • Recruit top talent and create a culture that motivates people to excel
  • Develop high-value client relationships and secure major contracts
  • Represent Communities Power at industry events
  • Drive revenue growth while staying true to our social mission
  • Create systems and processes that scale as we grow

Compensation Structure: Equity + Performance Bonuses

This is a commission-free, equity-based opportunity designed for builders and entrepreneurs.

  • What You'll Earn:5-10% equity stake in Communities Power (4-year vesting, 1-year cliff)
  • Performance-based bonuses tied to major milestones and revenue targets
  • Unlimited earning potential based on your performance

The Upside: As you build the company, your equity grows in value. Hit your targets, scale the business, and your ownership stake could be worth substantial money.

Top performers can earn six figures+ through bonuses and equity appreciation.

Who Thrives in This Role You're perfect for this if you:

  • Have solar or electrical services industry experience (sales, installation, operations, or management)
  • Are entrepreneurial and comfortable with performance-based pay
  • Can self-fund for 3-6 months while building momentum (or have side income)Love recruiting, motivating, and leading teams
  • Want ownership and aren't afraid to hustle for it
  • Believe in renewable energy and social impact are based in Michigan or willing to relocate to Detroit

Why Communities Power?

  • Real ownership in a mission-driven company
  • Ground-floor opportunity to shape everything
  • Fastest-growing industry in America
  • Social impact that transforms communities
  • Unlimited earning potential based on your performance
  • Full autonomy to lead without micromanagement

Ready to Build Something Meaningful?

This role isn't for everyone—it's for someone who wants to bet on themselves and build equity in a company changing lives.

Send your resume and tell us:

  • Why Communities Power excites you
  • Your biggest win in recruiting or building team show you'd approach your first 90 days.
