COMPANY OVERVIEW

TransGrid Energy is a renewable energy company focused on investing, developing, owning and operating utility-scale battery energy storage systems and PV projects. TransGrid has a robust pipeline of projects under construction and in late-stage development, and the Company is actively expanding its energy asset portfolio across the United States.

As an affiliate company of Hanwha Group, a FORTUNE Global 500 company driven by a firm commitment to advancing the clean energy future, TransGrid Energy is striving to shape the renewable energy landscape by providing sustainable and reliable power solutions tailored to meet the energy needs of today and tomorrow.

POSITION OVERVIEW

The Director of Business Development will lead TransGrid Energy's strategy for expanding Virtual Power Plant (VPP), Demand Response, Bring Your Own Customer (BYOC), and distributed energy resource programs across North America. This individual will be responsible for identifying and commercializing new market opportunities, developing innovative business models, establishing strategic partnerships, and creating go-to-market strategies that drive growth in rapidly evolving energy markets. The role will focus on navigating the unique regulatory, utility, and market structures that vary across states, ISO/RTOs, and service territories to unlock new revenue streams and long-term customer value.

This position requires a highly entrepreneurial leader who can identify emerging opportunities, translate market complexity into scalable offerings, and build strong relationships across utilities, regulators, technology providers, channel partners, and customers.

The ideal candidate thrives in dynamic environments, understands how market structures evolve over time, and can create sustainable business models that adapt as utility and regulatory frameworks continue to change. The successful candidate will combine deep energy-market knowledge with strong commercial origination, partnership development, and contract negotiation capabilities. The Director will be accountable for building a qualified pipeline of available capacity, converting opportunities into contracted megawatts, and ensuring that the resulting portfolio meets the company's commercial, operational, and financial objectives.
