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
As part of Intersect’s Development team, you’ll lead the strategy and execution of energy supply solutions for large-scale data centers and other high-demand customers. Your work will focus on integrating flexible and firm load solutions particularly in ERCOT and the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) to complement Intersect’s renewable projects. You’ll negotiate and structure commercial agreements with retail providers and utilities, manage the setup of large loads within RTO/ISO markets, and ensure compliance with evolving regulatory requirements. This role blends technical expertise, regulatory fluency, and commercial creativity to deliver energy strategies that enable Intersect’s portfolio to serve mission-critical infrastructure with reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable power.

Success relies on collaboration across Engineering, Finance, Construction, and Operations, as well as with landowners, utilities, regulators, and offtakers.
