VP, Energy Markets

About Aigent Energy

AGent is building the leading software platform to optimize distributed generation resources — turning energy liabilities into reliable, monetizable assets. We bring AI to the aggregation, orchestration, and monetization of distributed generation in wholesale and retail power markets, delivering meaningful reliability, economic, and sustainability benefits to commercial, institutional, and industrial energy users, utilities, and grid operators.

We move fast, think big, and operate with a lean, high-trust team. Every hire matters here.

About the role

AGent is seeking an exceptional VP of Energy Markets to lead our market operations function and serve as one of the most strategically important voices in the company. This is not a purely operational role — and it is not a purely strategic one. We need both, from the same person, at the same time.

On one side, you are a seasoned wholesale energy market operator. You've managed assets in wholesale markets as a direct market participant, navigated tariffs, managed settlements, and built the internal protocols that allow a team to execute flawlessly across multiple markets simultaneously. You know what it takes to get a MW into a market and keep it performing.

On the other side, you are a commercially-minded leader who applies deep market knowledge to help AGent grow. You help the leadership team think through market prioritization, identify strategic opportunities, develop unique and differentiated products, understand the commercial implications of regulatory changes, and build the go-to-market intelligence that gives our sales team an edge.

You will build and lead the Energy Markets team, own the full lifecycle of MW participation across AGent's target markets, and be a critical partner to the CEO, VP of Product & Engineering, and GTM leadership as we scale. You'll help the leadership team identify and prioritize regulatory hurdles — understanding which barriers matter most based on where the largest market opportunities lie, and helping AGent navigate them strategically. Relationships with ISO/RTO and utility leaders are a meaningful differentiator for this role.

- Partner with the CEO and GTM leadership to develop AGent's market prioritization strategy — identifying where to compete, when to enter new markets, and how to maximize portfolio value

- Apply market knowledge to commercial execution: help the sales team understand program economics, articulate value to prospects, and position AGent competitively

- Identify and prioritize regulatory hurdles across target markets — assessing which barriers represent the greatest risk to commercial opportunity and developing a clear-eyed strategy for navigating them

- Monitor regulatory developments across ISO/RTOs and translate their implications into strategic recommendations for the leadership team

- Actively engage with ISO/RTO and utility stakeholders to influence regulatory policy and build relationships that benefit AGent's market access and positioning

Market Operations & Registration

- Own the end-to-end lifecycle of MW participation across all AGent markets: registration, offer management, dispatch operations, and settlement

- Build and implement internal protocols that align AGent's operations with the tariffs and operational procedures of each ISO/RTO we participate in

- Ensure 100% of MW are registered, validated, and in market ahead of every seasonal start

- Own program milestone delivery and all related operational deadlines

- Build or buy the tools and technology necessary to achieve operational excellence across market operations

Team Leadership & Cross-Functional Execution
