Intersect Power is a team of friends driven to preserve our planet for future generations through low-carbon energy and infrastructure solutions. Intersect Power is a privately held clean energy company bringing innovative, scalable, American-made, low-carbon solutions to its customers in global energy markets. We develop, own, and operate some of the world’s largest grid-tied clean energy resources, as well as co-located facilities for large industrial loads, including data centers, e-fuels, and other energy-intensive products. We are laser-focused on the largest, most transformative clean energy projects that decarbonize the existing power grid and bring new loads to clean generation without the need for new transmission. Intersect is redefining the scope of the clean energy industry by enabling new pathways between clean electricity and the broader economy. We are on an aggressive growth trajectory and are looking to fill key roles with talented professionals who want to make an impact.
Intersect has been a fully flexible workplace since its founding in 2016. We’ve been very intentional about the way we do things. We are not work-from-home, hybrid, or in-office – we are any and all of those options! Deepening social connections and offering shared experiences is a cornerstone of the way we work. We connect as a team at our Team Week experiences four times a year and at our recently established Hub locations - SF Bay Area and San Diego, CA; NYC Metro Area, NY; Denver, CO; Austin, TX; Calgary, AB; and Toronto, ON.
We are currently seeking candidates located within 60 miles of any of the listed hubs to foster more in-person connections while maintaining our flexible remote culture.
We are looking to add a Compensation and Equity expert to support and enhance our total rewards function. This role will have a specialized focus on equity planning management and core compensation modeling and administration. While day-to-day equity administration is managed by an external vendor, this role will serve as the internal lead—managing the vendor, ensuring compliance with plan rules, and coordinating cross-functional efforts to support our executive and investor-aligned programs.
This is a high-impact opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys the intersection of compensation, equity, and compliance in HR Operations.
Our HR department consists of three functions: Employee Engagement, HR Operations and Recruiting. We are a small but powerful team that thrives on measurable and agile approaches to help scale the business, engage all employees and serve as a steward of our culture. Our department's approach is to “Build the best team on the planet to save the planet”, and we mean it.
