The posting

📍 Location: Washington, DC (Arlington HQs; Hybrid); open to Boston, MA (Somerville; Hybrid)

👥 Team: Regulatory

🧭 Reports to: VP of Marketing & Regulatory

💼 Type: Full-time (exempt)

📌 JOB DETAILS

Geothermal is the most efficient way to heat and cool a home, but the upfront cost has kept it out of reach for most homebuilders and homebuyers. In 2025, Dandelion launched a first-of-its-kind solution to that problem. Instead of the builder paying for the system, an investor partner buys it, claims the federal tax credit and other incentives, and leases the system to the homebuyer. Builders can offer geothermal without paying for it up front.

As Director of Energy Markets & Strategic Partnerships, you'll run this program and help it grow. You'll make sure we deliver reliably, at the pace builders need, and in a way that gets builders and homebuyers the most financial benefit. You'll also work across teams to find the next opportunities as we expand nationwide. These include new ownership and financing options and new revenue from grid services, such as virtual power plants and demand response programs.

🛠️ RESPONSIBILITIES

MANAGING & SCALING EXISTING TPO PARTNERSHIPS

- Serve as the primary relationship owner for Dandelion’s existing third-party ownership and geothermal leasing partners.

- Monitor portfolio performance, ensure smooth operational workflows between sales, installation, and fund administration, and optimize asset deployment.

- Resolve operational bottlenecks, streamline tax equity/debt drawdowns, and maximize partner capital efficiency.

ORIGINATION & STRUCTURING OF NEW FINANCING PRODUCTS

- Identify, negotiate, and execute new capital partnerships (tax equity, debt facilities, infrastructure funds, consumer finance) to lower customer barriers to entry and expand Dandelion's TPO offerings.

- Structure innovative financing models tailored specifically to geothermal heating and cooling assets (e.g., ground-loop infrastructure leasing, loan/lease hybrid models).

- Work closely with Legal, Finance, and Product teams to launch next-generation financial products that improve conversion rates and customer economics.

EXPANSION INTO GRID SERVICES, VPPS, & ENERGY MARKETS

- Lead strategy and deal execution for grid-edge monetization opportunities, including Demand Response (DR) programs, Virtual Power Plant (VPP) aggregations, and wholesale energy market participation.

- Build strategic partnerships with utilities, grid operators (ISOs/RTOs), aggregators, and energy retailers to monetize geothermal heat pumps' controllable, low-peak electrical profile.

- Evaluate and launch revenue-sharing models that stack TPO financing benefits with grid service yields for Dandelion and its customers.

- Identify opportunities for product development to maximize scale and revenue.

🎯 WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

- Commercial Drive: Self starter with proven track record of originating, negotiating, and closing complex, multi-million-dollar partnership agreements.

- Cross-Functional Leadership: Ability to collaborate seamlessly across teams that do not report to you, including Legal, Policy, Operations, Finance, Marketing, Sales and R&D/Product.

✅ MUST-HAVES

- Experience: 7+ years in commercial structured finance, energy project development, corporate business development, or partnership management within clean tech, residential solar/storage, or HVAC.

- Domain Expertise: Understanding of residential Third-Party Ownership (TPO) models, PPAs, leases, tax credit monetization, and debt/tax equity structures.

- Energy Markets Knowledge: Familiarity with REC markets, residential Demand Response, VPP platforms, ISO/RTO market participation rules, and utility regulatory frameworks.
