About the role
General Manager — Energy-as-a-Service Division
Position Type: Full-Time, Executive
Reports To: Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Company Overview
We are a fast-growing manufacturer in the electrical power industry, specializing in medium- and low-voltage power distribution and electrical equipment — including switchboards, transformers, switchgear, mobile substations, e-houses, and energy-as-a-service solutions. We serve utility, industrial, data center, and renewable energy markets across North America. Our business is organized as a set of focused product divisions, each run as a business and backed by a single, shared manufacturing and delivery organization. As we scale and expand our footprint in Florida, we are seeking a commercially driven business leader to grow one of our core divisions.
Position Summary
The General Manager, Energy-as-a-Service Division is the business leader for our Energy-as-a-Service division, accountable for its full commercial success — revenue, gross margin, solution portfolio, commercial model, and market growth. Reporting to the CEO, the General Manager runs the division as a business with its own P&L.
This is a commercial and product leadership role — not a plant management role. The ideal candidate is a commercially driven leader who can own a P&L, set solution and commercial-model strategy, deepen relationships with key customers (utilities, data center operators, and industrial customers), and grow share in the energy-as-a-service market through our portfolio of energy-as-a-service solutions — including mobile substations, e-houses, energy storage, and microgrid offerings.
Operating Model
This role focuses on commercial and product leadership. Manufacturing, supply chain, purchasing, quality systems, plant staffing, logistics, and field-service execution are delivered by our shared, enterprise-wide Operations organization. This structure frees the General Manager to focus on growing a profitable business rather than running a factory, while partnering closely with Operations through clear service-level expectations.
Key Responsibilities
Business & P&L Leadership
• Own the division P&L, with full accountability for revenue and gross-margin performance against plan.
• Develop and execute the division’s annual operating plan and multi-year growth strategy.
• Own forecast accuracy and demand planning for the division.
• Drive recurring-revenue growth and asset return-on-investment in partnership with Operations.
Solution Portfolio & Commercial Model
• Own the energy-as-a-service solution portfolio — mobile substations, e-houses, energy storage, and microgrid offerings.
• Develop and evolve commercial models (rental, subscription, and project-based) that maximize customer lifetime value.
• Define solution positioning and competitive differentiation across utilities, data centers, industrial, and renewable customers needing flexible, rapidly deployable power.
Pricing & Commercial Strategy
• Own pricing and contract structuring for service agreements, including term, utilization, and total-cost-of-ownership economics.
• Partner with the commercial and sales organization on go-to-market, quoting, and win strategy.
• Govern margin through disciplined pricing, mix, and discount management.
Customer & Market Growth
• Own and grow the division’s most important customer relationships (utilities, data center operators, and industrial customers).
• Expand market share and penetrate new segments and applications within the energy-as-a-service market.
• Represent the division with strategic accounts, channel partners, and at industry forums.
Cross-Functional Partnership
• Partner with the shared Operations organization to convert demand into on-time, on-quality delivery, governed by clear service-level expectations.
• Partner with Engineering on design-for-manufacture, standards compliance, and new product launches.
• Partner with Finance on forecasting, pricing analytics, and capital-investment cases.
Team Leadership
• Lead, coach, and develop the division’s commercial and product team.
• Build a high-performance, customer-focused culture within the division.
