With over 20 years of expertise, we’re trusted by North America’s largest energy users, power producers, and utilities.

Why Join Rodan:

• Thriving Industry: Join a rapidly growing sector at the forefront of innovation and sustainability, shaping the future of energy management.

• Product Market Fit: With a 98% client retention rate and consistent YOY growth, Rodan has built a reputation for delivering trusted, long-term partnerships with industry leaders.

• Top Talent & Strong Culture: Collaborate with high-performing, passionate individuals who are committed to excellence and sustainability. What Makes This Role Great:

• This is a rare opportunity to step into a business that is already operating at scale and take it to the next level. Rodan Energy Solutions manages more than 1,500 MW of flexible capacity across North American electricity markets and serves hundreds of commercial and industrial facilities through proprietary, in-house built software. The DER platform is built on that foundation — with a growing portfolio of battery storage, solar, generation, microgrid, and flexible energy assets, an active development pipeline, and a multidisciplinary team of business developers, analysts, engineers, and energy market experts already in place.

You'll have direct accountability for portfolio quality and long-term performance — with the authority and organizational support to match.

For the right leader, this is the kind of role that doesn't come around often — a builder's mandate inside an established, growing platform, at exactly the right moment in the energy transition.
