Requirements

What you’ll need

A proven senior leader with a track record of running a business or a substantial market operation, with full accountability for commercial and operational performance
Strong commercial and financial acumen, with experience owning a P&L and delivering against revenue and growth targets
Deep knowledge of the ERCOT market — market rules, demand response and ancillary service mechanisms, and grid services — with the intellectual appetite to hold that knowledge as a continuous working discipline, not a static credential
An established network across the Texas energy sector — ERCOT, the PUCT, utilities, and large energy users — or a clear and credible pathway to building one quickly
The ability to translate market and regulatory direction into commercial and operational positioning, and to set the strategy that follows from it
Genuine leadership ability — building and developing a team, and delivering through others rather than through personal effort alone
Excellent communication and representation skills, with the credibility to speak for VIOTAS to customers, regulators, and the wider market
An entrepreneurial, ownership mindset, comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-growing international business
Awareness of the power reliability, resilience, and grid-compliance challenges facing large energy users and data centres in the ERCOT market is an advantage
