Toronto

Peak Power is a North American cleantech company providing end-to-end battery energy storage solutions for large commercial, industrial, and manufacturing facilities operating in IESO, ISO-NE, PJM, and NYISO.

Powered by industry-leading peak forecasting and market intelligence, we help large energy users significantly reduce electricity costs, unlock new revenue streams, and achieve sustainability goals.

Through strategic investor partnerships, we remove capital cost barriers with zero-capex energy storage offered through a shared-savings model, aligning with customer success by prioritizing battery performance.

Reporting to the VP of Strategic Finance, the Commercial Director will run the end-to-end process to move complex, multi-stakeholder transactions from proposal/LOI through contracting and toward execution. Our deals often involve multiple parties, customers, development partners, asset owners/investors, and contractors, and this role is central to “threading the needle” across stakeholders while preserving Peak Power’s economics and ensuring agreements are financeable and executable.

You’ll own the commercial process for specific transactions (divided across the commercial/strategic finance team), drive internal coordination and external momentum, and escalate when decisions or exceptions are required. This is a high-visibility role with meaningful impact on deal velocity, deal quality, and organizational scalability.

Own the end-to-end commercial process for a portfolio of transactions (assigned deal-by-deal), including energy services, partnerships, EPC , and asset- sale related workstreams.

Drive the transaction plan: stakeholders, timeline, dependencies, open issues, risks, and next actions, ensuring nothing stalls due to unclear ownership or missing inputs.

Collaborate across the Strategic Finance, Legal,



Operations and Development teams to drive a single, aligned company position on commercial terms, obligations, and economics.

Provide clear status reporting across active deals: what changed, what’s at risk, what requires decisions, and what’s needed to progress.

Surface bottlenecks and recurring blockers across transactions and propose practical process improvements to increase speed, consistency, and predictability.

Partner closely with Legal, Sales and Commercial leadership to ensure transactions are structured in ways that preserve economics and enable execution.

Bring high EQ and strong stakeholder management across diverse personalities and functions, specifically under pressure and shifting priorities.

Help improve and standardize templates, workflows, and best practices to reduce rework and reliance on “heroics.”

5+ years of experience running commercial / transaction processes in complex deal environments (distributed energy, infrastructure, renewables, storage, or similarly complex B2B contexts).

You have broad commercial experience, and ideally a specialty in one domain (e.g., contracting/legal, project finance, or project development)

Strong project management capability: you can manage multiple workstreams in parallel and keep momentum across internal and external stakeholders.

Ability to understand economic tradeoffs and how terms affect financeability and project economics).





You are flexible to adapt your activities as needed to support evolving team priorities in a rapidly changing business environment. We’re focused on solving problems that impact energy markets both locally and around the world. We are a growth-stage clean technology company that has partnered with major names in real estate, electricity, and smart city spaces.

Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI). We believe in driving a better energy future through focused efforts towards understanding and improving Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

Generous and flexible vacation and sick/wellness days to make time for personal appointments and taking a mental health break.

We take internal engagement surveys seriously and make actionable changes based on feedback.

Get Social. Fun activities including team events and game nights to stay connected both virtually and in person including fun Slack channels that celebrate our love of food, fitness, fashion, furry friends, and everything in between!

Long Weekends Start Early. Beat the traffic to the cottage or curl up with your favourite book, start early with half days off before long weekends.

Accommodations are available by request for candidates taking part in all aspects of the selection process.

Our total compensation package includes a competitive salary, comprehensive health and wellness benefits, paid time off, participation in the organization’s equity incentive plan, along with additional perks designed to support your well-being and qualified growth. We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support certain stages of the hiring process. These tools help our recruitment team by organizing and reviewing candidate information, but they do not replace human judgment.
