About David Energy

David Energy is creating a new kind of power company. We offer cheaper and cleaner energy than traditional Retail Electricity Providers (REPs) can, and we do so economically because we can tap into renewable supply (e.g. solar) and controllable capacity (e.g. batteries) anywhere it exists, including "behind" customers’ electricity meters. We’re a series A company aiming to run the grid on clean energy 24/7/365.

We’re rapidly scaling our "Beat the Utility" product which guarantees small commercial customers that their total electric spend will be less than their incumbent utility. We can make this guarantee because our technology and risk management unlock value that is not available to the utility. We're currently operating in NYC (NYISO Zone J) and scaling toward hundreds of new customer locations per month, with plans to expand to additional zones and ISOs across the Northeast.

We are looking for a Risk Manager to lead our risk management function as David Energy enters its next phase of growth. The ideal candidate will use their extensive experience in retail and wholesale power markets to lead establishing a risk management function for a first-of-its-kind business that is redefining the power sector. You will be responsible for executing our risk policy while maximizing value from our controllable capacity (e.g., fleet of distributed batteries).
