The posting

The Role

We’re looking for a Principal to lead our most important engagements and help shape the future of the firm. This is a senior client-facing role with broad responsibility across business development, client delivery, and intellectual leadership. Principals at Realize 2050 operate as player-coaches—they lead high-stakes consulting engagements while also mentoring teams, codifying internal IP, and opening new markets.

If you’re a strategic thinker with commercial instincts, comfortable in both regulated boardrooms and whiteboard sessions with founders, this role offers the opportunity to shape how utilities and infrastructure evolve over the coming decade.

What You’ll Do

Strategy & Delivery Leadership

  • Lead multi-workstream client engagements across utilities, startups, and government
  • Own senior relationships with utility execs, public sector leaders, and venture teams
  • Frame ambiguous problems and design analytically rigorous, action-oriented solutions
  • Translate technical complexity (e.g., interconnection, grid planning, DER valuation) into compelling strategy and commercial insight
  • Build and test commercialization pathways for new technologies and business models
  • Serve as a mentor and model for Engagement Managers and Associates

Business Development

  • Lead proposal development and pitch strategy for six- and seven-figure projects
  • Identify white space opportunities and proactively shape new client offerings
  • Cultivate new client relationships and deepen existing partnerships
  • Represent Realize 2050 in key industry conversations—at conferences, in workshops, and during critical engagements

Thought Leadership & Venture Design

  • Develop internal frameworks, tools, and templates that codify Realize 2050’s unique approach
  • Author public-facing insights, white papers, and concept notes that elevate our voice in the market
  • Identify and shape potential venture spinouts from client engagements
  • Serve as an internal anchor for new practices in AI, gridtech, or infrastructure finance

You Might Be a Fit If You Have

  • 10+ years of experience across strategy consulting, innovation, utilities, startup leadership, or infrastructure
  • Deep exposure to utility, gridtech, or climate innovation ecosystems
  • Track record leading complex, cross-functional projects with senior stakeholders
  • Exceptional communication and synthesis skills, across memos, presentations, and live facilitation
  • Financial fluency in energy economics, including PPA structures, resilience valuation, and capital planning
  • Experience with product strategy, new venture design, or market-making in regulated industries
  • Entrepreneurial judgment and a strong bias toward action

Bonus Points For

  • Experience working inside or alongside investor-owned utilities, ISO/RTOs, or regulatory agencies
  • A track record of launching or scaling early-stage ventures
  • Familiarity with AI/ML technologies, grid planning tools, or infrastructure modeling
  • Experience navigating public-private partnerships, grant programs, or regulatory proceedings

What We Offer

  • An opportunity to work on generational infrastructure and energy challenges with ambition and creativity
  • A platform to grow your voice, your ventures, and your impact
  • An entrepreneurial culture that rewards initiative and ownership
  • Competitive compensation, profit-sharing opportunities, and geographic flexibility

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
