[Hiring] Project Success Lead @Lumen Energy

Role Description

A Lumen project comes to life when a solar or battery lease with our building owner client is signed. From lease signature until commercial operation date (COD), there's a long list of work to get the project built:

• Site plan approvals
• Lender consents
• Structural diligence
• Incentive applications
• Construction

Every item involves the owner, the solar developer, and often the property manager, tenants, lenders, and the EPC. Across a multi-hundred MW portfolio of development projects, you'll be the quarterback: the person who sees the whole field and keeps every party moving toward COD.

Half the job is execution: running parallel workstreams across a dozen-plus counterparties without dropping anything. The other half is client leadership: being the trusted advisor that institutional portfolio teams rely on for multi-year projects.

What you'll own

• Owner engagement system: Build and run a structured, predictable way of bringing development items to building owners.
• Issue resolution: Spot risks to a project's timeline or economics early and drive them to resolution.
• Deal execution from lease signature to COD: Drive every post-signing workstream to close.
• Quarterly reviews and look-aheads: Lead quarterly sessions with owner stakeholders.
• Building the playbook: Design the processes, dashboards, and communication standards.
• Relationships: Build trusted relationships with our developer partners and property managers.

Who you'll work with

• Commercial real estate customers: Asset managers, property managers, and executive sponsors at some of the largest real estate owners in the country.
• Renewable energy developers and EPCs: Development and construction teams you'll partner with.
• Internal Lumen teams: Account leads in Business Development and the Operations team.

Qualifications

• 2–6 years in management consulting, investment banking, commercial real estate, renewable energy development, or a similar client-facing role.
• Experience running multiple workstreams at once.
• Strong communication skills to make complex details clear and actionable for a senior audience.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and excited to build a function.
• Ready to own outcomes directly rather than advise on them.

How you'll grow

• No solar background required; you'll learn interconnection, SNDAs, and incentive programs quickly.
• Work directly with the VP of Business Development and gain exposure to executive sponsors.
• Strong performers can grow into leading the project success team or move into account leadership.

Nice to have

• Prior work with sophisticated clients, especially institutional commercial real estate owners.
• Familiarity with solar or renewable energy development.
• Exposure to real estate transaction documents.
• Experience with HubSpot or a comparable CRM.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary Range: $115,000 – $137,000 base salary, plus equity.
• Final compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, and geographic location.
• Benefits include:
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) plan.
• Flexible PTO.
• Remote work flexibility.
• Quarterly company-sponsored offsites.
• Professional development budget.
• Equipment and home office stipend.

How to apply

Send your resume and a short note on why this role excites you. We'd especially like to hear about:

• A complex, multi-party project or transaction you helped drive to completion over a long timeline.
• A time you translated detailed technical, legal, or financial information for a senior stakeholder.
• How you've balanced client relationships with rigorous execution.
