About the role

What you'll do

As an Account Manager at Nira, you'll work directly with renewable energy developers—our core customers—to help them navigate the complex world of grid interconnection. Your work will be a key part of accelerating renewable projects getting built.

You’ll work most closely with our customers’ Transmission, Interconnection, and Development teams. Your day-to-day will span everything from onboarding and product guidance to contract renewals and upselling new features. You’ll also collaborate closely with Nira’s internal teams to shape the product based on what our customers actually need.

Most of your time will be spent building deep, long-term relationships with our customers, becoming their go-to for anything Nira-related. The best Account Managers at Nira are part technical expert, part product advisor, and part strategic partner.


About you

3+ years in a customer-facing role in the utility or energy industry (account management, sales, or similar).

You understand the transmission and interconnection landscape—or are excited to dive in and become an expert.

You’re a strong communicator with high emotional intelligence.

You love building relationships and naturally take ownership.

You’re excited about working with renewable developers and influencing the energy transition.

You can confidently upsell and retain customers because you genuinely understand their needs.


About Nira Energy

  • Nira's mission is to convert the US power grid to be 100% fossil-free.
  • Nira is a software platform that helps renewable energy developers (solar/wind) find the most profitable land to build new projects.
  • We focus on estimating the cost to interconnect with the electrical grid (aka the Interconnection Process). Depending on where developers connect, they may be on the hook to pay millions of dollars to upgrade power lines, substations etc.
  • We are profitable!
