Requirements
  • 3-5 years in a high-performance, high-trust environment (e.g. startups, consulting, operations, venture)
  • AI-native or AI-curious: You have harnessed tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Zapier, Airtable, Superhuman AI and Notion AI to think sharper, move faster, and build smarter workflows—using AI as a performance multiplier, not a shortcut, and pairing speed with human judgment for precision and impact.
  • Energy fluency: You don’t need to be an expert, but you must know your way around electricity markets, grid tech, or energy systems
  • You’re a self starter, organized, and structured by instinct—people rely on you when things get messy
  • Clear communicator: concise, credible, and quick to surface what matters
Responsibilities
  • Translate CEO/CFO priorities into clear, actionable plans with owners, timelines, and outputs—always favoring clarity over drawn-out consensus.
  • Track progress, anticipate roadblocks, and ensure crisp follow-through.
  • Share recommendations early—even if they’re still evolving—so alignment happens in real time.
  • Use AI tools to rapidly synthesize context, enhance decision making, and reduce organizational drag.
  • Own and evolve our operating cadence (we use Entrepreneurial Operating System), ensuring our rhythms drive outcomes and measurable progress.
  • Design and maintain simple systems (Notion pages, dashboards, trackers) that make progress visible and friction low
  • Explore, champion, and embed AI tools (ChatGPT, Notion AI, Zapier, etc.) across the organization to boost leverage at every level.
  • Identify and automate low-value tasks, freeing teams for higher-impact work.
  • Create adaptable internal tools and processes that keep communication sharp and prioritization clear without adding unnecessary complexity.
  • Be the chameleon of collaboration—bringing genuine humility that fosters trust across teams, and adapt fluidly across priorities, personalities, and styles to keep alignment strong and momentum high.
  • Spot and resolve misalignment, duplication, or hidden blockers before they slow us down.
  • Maintain initiative trackers and scorecards so executives can see across silos and act with confidence
  • Build systems and habits that keep the company aligned and moving toward outcomes that will outlast any single role or person.
  • Draft and refine CEO/CFO communications—from internal updates to board decks—so they’re sharp, timely, and actionable.
  • Prepare contextual briefings that make every executive meeting count.
  • Keep communication transparent, accessible, and focused on decision-making, never bogged down by process for its own sake.

Unlike many competitors, Peak Power provides a comprehensive turnkey service that handles everything from system design and financing to installation and long-term maintenance. The company's goal is to simplify the adoption of energy storage technology to help large-scale facilities reduce costs and improve energy efficiency.
