Asset Management - Financial 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 Financial Commercial Lead within Asset Management to ensure the economic integrity and commercial continuity of datacenter infrastructure projects across their lifecycle. This role applies a project-wide financial and value lens to commercial decision-making, working in close partnership across the organization and with third-party stakeholders to ensure commitments remain realistic and executable in operations.  

As an early Asset Management hire supporting this asset class, the Financial Commercial Lead plays a critical role in establishing delivery credibility and shaping an operating model designed to scale. The role is deeply involved from development through operations, with a visible integration role beginning at NTP and extending through COD and steady-state operations, serving as the commercial through-line across the asset lifecycle.

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 maximizes reliability 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 financial commercial lead for assigned projects, applying a project-wide economic and value lens to all non-technical commercial commitments.

• Own stewardship of offtake and other non-technical commercial agreements, including interpretation, change control, and escalation of material issues.

• Identify, assess, and manage commercial risks associated with pricing mechanics, settlement structures, non-plant cost drivers, and contract design.

Project Development & Integration 

• Provide Asset Management input into development-stage commercial structures and modeling assumptions related to non-technical scope.

• Ensure commercial and financial assumptions made during development remain visible, intentional, and executable through construction and COD.

• Lead integration of non-technical commercial scope from NTP through COD, coordinating handoffs across teams and with project Asset Managers.

Financial Management

• Maintain ownership of project-level economic assumptions and value drivers.

• Identify and manage deviations between expected and realized economic performance over time.

• Frame and communicate the commercial implications of changes in assumptions, performance, or external conditions in partnership with internal teams.

Compliance & Administration

• Manage administration of non-technical commercial agreements, including offtake agreements and related amendments.

• Ensure commercial commitments are tracked, documented, and administered consistently with internal governance.

• Coordinate resolution of commercial disputes or changes in scope with internal and external stakeholders while preserving long-term trust.

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
