Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone who works quickly and efficiently, sees the forest and the trees while managing projects and teams, and isn’t afraid of a challenge
- You Are The Best Executor You Know - You have 5–7+ years of managing complex projects, teams, and cross-functional initiatives and have a proven track record of meeting and exceeding critical business goals. You strive for operational excellence in everything you do and elevate your team and colleagues to do the same. You turn problems into clear plans and drive them forward with urgency and precision
- Communication Is Your Superpower - You know what to say, when to say it, and who needs to hear it. You adapt your communication style to the stakeholder needs and can seamlessly shift from external partner management to internal executive presentations with ease
- You’re Detail Oriented & Organized - You’re meticulous and take a “zero defect” approach to problem solving and deliverables. You see the forest and the trees. You understand the goal of a project, break it down into workable components, track the work, the risks, the timelines, and the people, and do it all while keeping stakeholders well-informed throughout the process
- You Thrive In Ambiguity - When there’s no roadmap, you draw one. When things break, you rebuild them stronger. You create organization from chaos
- You Have A Growth Mindset - You’re not just open to new ideas, you actively seek them out. You approach every task with the ambition to learn and evolve. Your growth mindset is evident in your ability to question the status quo and drive forward with creative and effective solutions that push the boundaries of what's possible in solar development
- You Believe That No Problem is Too Hard - In an industry where people are constantly stuck, we find ways to get it done. You know how to articulate and roll out solutions, recognizing there are many solutions to the same problem. You find new and effective ways to streamline and create processes to increase efficiency. You think in repeatable frameworks, not one-offs
- You Have A Beginner's Mind - You don’t have experience in solar—and that’s a plus. Wunder does things differently. You seek to understand market norms for what they can teach us, but you’re an independent thinker who knows the market hasn’t solved the problems we’re tackling. You’re hungry to solve hard problems from first principles. If you do have any solar experience, you’re ready to leave it at the door and challenge your own assumptions
- You Have A Team Ethos - You thrive in a creative, inventive, fast-paced rapid-growth environment, with people who are passionate about their work and mission. You’re not just excited to work cross-functionally, you crave it
- You're Flexible, a Quick Responder - The problem we’re trying to solve as an organization is dynamic and each day brings fresh and exciting challenges. You can react quickly and efficiently when called upon to change or pivot
- Located in Boulder or Denver, CO - Candidates must currently live in, or be willing to relocate to, the Boulder/Denver area. This is an in-person role and you’ll be working out of our Boulder HQ five days per week
What the job involves
- We have an amazing opportunity for a results-oriented, force multiplying professional to join our growing team, solve hard problems, and push renewable energy forward
- Our team is rapidly acquiring commercial customers and developing solar across the country alongside our national network of solar partners, and we need your help!
- This is a roll-up-your-sleeves, get-it-done, execution-first position designed for someone who thrives in ambiguity, brings order to chaos, and wants to help scale Wunder’s commercial solar deployment to gigawatt scale
- Initially, you’ll be laser-focused on Wunder’s Project Development function: driving solar projects forward, unblocking bottlenecks, improving delivery systems, and ensuring outcomes across our national portfolio
- You’ll collaborate deeply with execution and technology teams cross-functionally to leverage Wunder’s proprietary software platform to accelerate the speed of project delivery, encode learnings, and unlock execution at scale in the commercial & industrial solar sector
- At every stage, you’ll focus on exceeding customer expectations with clear communication, ahead-of-schedule deliverables, thoughtful project plans, and seamless execution
- You’ll anticipate and mitigate risks that could impact timeline or cost, while identifying patterns and operational insights across the portfolio that allow us to optimize our work at the macro level
- You’ll be expected to understand and influence how work gets done at Wunder—and then make it happen faster, better, and more predictably
- If you get excited about unlocking the untapped commercial and industrial solar market, joining a team designed for hyper-growth, and building an organization aimed at saving the world, then this is the role for you
Our take
Traditionally, centralised hydrocarbon energy companies have been leaders in energy provision to the masses. More sustainable energy providers, such as solar companies, don't have the infrastructure to provide end-to-end services for commercial and industry owners.
Using zero-carbon energy technology and industry expertise, Wunder Capital allows companies of all sizes to seamlessly implement solar power systems across holdings. Wunder Capital is involved in the design, engineering, and installation of all components and provides support and financing across the board.
Wunder Capital aims to lead the solar revolution over the course of the next decade as the cost of solar deployment is set to decline. As prices decrease, they hope more companies and people will be interested in making the switch to solar. Through use of highly standardised technology, they aim to continue efficiently financing and deploying solar energy systems to meet growing demand.
