Asset Management - Technical Commercial Lead

Location & Team Gatherings

Intersect has been a fully flexible workplace since its founding in 2016.  We’ve been very intentional about the way we do things. We are not work-from-home, hybrid, or in-office - we are any and all of those options! Deepening social connections and offering shared experiences is a cornerstone of the way we work. We connect as a team at our Team Week experiences four times a year and at our recently established Hub locations - SF Bay Area, NYC Metro Area, NY; Denver, CO; Houston, TX; Calgary, AB; and Toronto, ON.

We are currently looking for candidates located within 60 miles of any of the listed hubs to foster more in-person connections while maintaining our flexible remote culture.

About This Role

Intersect is hiring a Technical Commercial Lead within Asset Management to ensure the commercial integrity and continuity of datacenter infrastructure projects across their lifecycle. This role focuses on the commercial implications of equipment, EPC, O&M service, and interconnection decisions, working in close partnership across the organization and with third-party stakeholders to ensure technical commitments remain aligned and executable in operations. As an early Asset Management hire supporting this asset class, the role is actively engaged from development through operations, with a visible integration role beginning at NTP and extending through COD and steady-state operations. Positioned within Asset Management, the Technical Commercial Lead serves as the commercial through-line for technical scope, partnering closely with Operations so technical teams can focus on performance and strategy while Asset Management owns the commercial continuity and escalation of technical commitments.

Team Overview

Asset Management is responsible for ensuring that Intersect’s datacenter infrastructure projects are commercially coherent, operationally ready, and governed in a way that supports long-term reliability and partnership trust. Within Intersect, Asset Management acts as the owner-side integrator, translating commercial requirements into an executable operating model that supports reliable delivery and long-term value.  Unlike traditional asset management models, Intersect Asset Management operates in a single-counterparty environment, where value is created through disciplined execution, operational reliability, and durable commercial relationships rather than lender-driven compliance.

What You’ll Do

Commercial Strategy & Risk Management

• Serve as the technical commercial lead for assigned projects, applying an execution and reliability and lens to all technical commercial commitments. 

• Develop and maintain clear visibility into commercial commitments, performance obligations, and remedies embedded in technical agreements.

• Identify, assess, and manage commercial risks associated with technical scope, delivery models, performance guarantees, and lifecycle service structures

Project Development & Integration 

• Partner with Operations to provide input into development-stage commercial structures and modeling assumptions related to technical scope.

• Ensure that commercial assumptions tied to technical agreements remain visible, intentional, and executable through construction and COD.

• Lead commercial integration of technical agreements from NTP through COD, coordinating handoffs and resolving misalignment across teams and third-party providers.

Operational Commercial Management

• Own the post-COD commercial relationships with OEMs, O&M providers, transmission providers, and other technically linked counterparties.

• Partner with Operations to manage commercial implications of performance issues, enforcement of remedies, and change management related to technical service agreements.

• Serve as the primary escalation point for technically driven commercial disputes or deviations that impact operational reliability or long-term value.

Compliance & Administration

• Ensure technical commercial agreements are administered consistently with internal governance, including tracking of obligations, performance metrics, and change control.

• Establish and maintain processes that support clear documentation, decision traceability, and lifecycle management of technical commercial commitments.

• Coordinate resolution of technical commercial issues with internal teams and third-party stakeholders while preserving long-term partnership integrity.

What You’ll Bring

• 10–15+ years of experience in commercial, asset management, energy markets, or infrastructure roles

• Strong commercial judgment with the ability to own and drive economic outcomes

• Fluency in financial models, valuation drivers, and risk sensitivities

• Experience managing or influencing complex commercial contracts and structures

• Ability to work across functions and influence without direct authority

• Comfort operating in ambiguity and making tradeoff decisions

• Experience in renewable energy, infrastructure, or power markets strongly preferred
