Director, Battery Asset Management

Charlottesville, VA; Moorestown, NJ; New York, NY; Richmond, VA; Tysons, VA

About Us

Madison Energy Infrastructure is hiring a Director of Battery Asset Management to build and run the operating platform behind our national, distributed, battery fleet. We have 80 MW of batteries operating today across 30 sites and 5 states, expect that fleet to triple next year and double the following year, with $2 billion of battery deployment ahead of us. The goal is simple: get the operating system right now, while the fleet is still manageable, so that it works when at scale.

About You

You've spent years elbow-deep in battery systems — you can read a three-line diagram without help, and you know an OEM's manual well enough to push back on their own engineers. You've managed contracts and you've managed people, and you're just as comfortable owning a preventative maintenance program as you are picking up the phone when a site goes down. You'd rather build something from scratch than inherit someone else's system, and you want to own the numbers that come with that.

Key Responsibilities

In year one, expect to be a player-coach: you'll manage the Battery Asset Manager, but you'll also be hands-on yourself — on the phone with OEMs, troubleshooting failures remotely, reviewing alarms, negotiating O&M agreements, visiting sites, escalating warranty claims, and making sure batteries dispatch when they're supposed to. That hands-on work is also how you'll build the operating system this role exists to create — you will own:

  • Fleet Performance - Own fleet performance against target (97%+ monthly availability, <1% missed dispatch, 100% preventative maintenance compliance, ≤7-day MTTR on corrective issues, zero warranty violations, no OEM escalation delay beyond 72 hours). Report against these numbers and drive resolution when a site is down.
  • Monitoring and reporting - Working with our Asset Management Analytics team to build the battery monitoring platform: what gets monitored, how data flows, alarm thresholds, escalation logic, dashboards, and reporting cadence.
  • O&M and long-term service agreements - Negotiating and administering them, which means understanding scope, pricing, response times, notification requirements, technical support, spare parts, performance guarantees, and what is negotiable. You should know the OEMs, the O&M companies, and what things should cost, and be comfortable holding contractors accountable when performance is not acceptable.
  • Fire safety and code compliance - The operating side of the program, including fire panels, suppression systems, inspection programs, AHJ requirements, emergency response procedures, and vendor compliance.
  • Team - You will initially manage one Battery Asset Manager and build the team around it as the fleet grows. You should have managed people before, but you should not be looking for a role where management means staying away from the equipment.
  • Commercial fluency - A working understanding of ownership structures, project finance, IRR and discounted cash flow, loans, offtake agreements, land leases, tax documents, and the broader OpCo structure. You do not need to be the finance team, but you do need to understand how an operating decision eventually turns into money.

What You Bring

The right person will probably have:

  • 5+ years of technical experience with distributed generation battery systems
  • Meaningful hands on troubleshooting experience
  • Distributed generation battery experience specifically. Utility scale only experience is not a match for this role
  • 4+ years of battery market or commercial operations experience, including exposure to market participation, capacity obligations, settlement, or battery value stacks
  • Experience negotiating or administering O&M agreements or LTSAs
  • Experience reviewing preventative and corrective maintenance reports and challenging contractor conclusions
  • Strong familiarity with OEM manuals, specifications, warranties, and operating requirements
  • Management experience with at least one direct report
  • Budget ownership experience
  • Working knowledge of battery fire safety and applicable codes
  • Experience with operational reporting tools such as Power BI
  • The ability to read and understand electrical drawings, including three line diagrams
  • Battery and inverter manufacturer certifications are a plus.
  • Entrepreneurial experience is also a plus. We value people who have had to build something, own a metric, fix problems without a playbook, and operate with urgency.

Benefits

  • PTO and company holidays
  • Medical, dental, vision
  • Employer-paid short-term disability, long-term disability, life insurance
  • 401(k) and company match
  • Professional development stipend
  • Strong culture of collaboration, performance, and personal growth
$175,000 - $200,000 a year
The actual salary offered may vary depending on job-related factors including, but not limited to knowledge, skills, experience and location.
