The Role We are seeking a highly analytical and commercially driven Policy & Market Intelligence Lead to support the Company’s North American market entry and expansion strategy for solar and BESS. Reporting to the Head of Development, this role is responsible for monitoring policy and regulatory developments, assessing their impact on market attractiveness and development risk, and turning that analysis into clear recommendations for the business. The successful candidate will help the Company determine and prioritize high-potential markets, which are strengthening or declining, and which may become attractive before they are widely recognized. This role is expected to separate real opportunity from noise and give the development team a grounded view of where policy, program design, and market structure support durable and scalable development. This role is fully remote for U.S.-based candidates and hybrid for Toronto-based candidates, with at least three days per week in the Company’s Liberty Village office. Occasional travel within the United States may be required Duties & Responsibilities Policy and Regulatory Intelligence Monitor federal, state/provincial, municipal, utility, and ISO/RTO developments affecting solar and BESS development. Track legislation, regulatory proceedings, tariff changes, procurement mechanisms, incentive structures, interconnection reforms, and other rule changes relevant to the Company’s target and adjacent markets. Maintain a current view of policy and regulatory developments that may affect project economics, market attractiveness, development timelines, or execution risk. Market Assessment and Recommendation Evaluate existing and emerging markets for solar and BESS development based on regulatory framework, incentive structure, interconnection dynamics, political durability, utility behavior, and competitive landscape. Develop structured market views, scorecards, and written recommendations that compare opportunities across jurisdictions and utility territories. Identify markets that warrant active pursuit, markets that should be monitored, and markets where the Company should avoid deploying time and resources. Highlight regulatory or program changes that could materially improve or impair the attractiveness of target markets. Business Impact Analysis Assess how policy and regulatory developments affect development timelines, bankability, revenue assumptions, program durability, and overall market risk. Work with development, finance, land acquisition, and other internal teams to translate policy developments into practical business implications and decision-useful recommendations. Help internal teams understand the practical consequences of tariffs, incentives, procurement rules, interconnection reforms, and market-specific program requirements. Coordinate with the Company’s internal subject-matter experts, including interconnection and development, so market assessments reflect both policy reality and execution reality. Transform market intelligence into actionable business cases and investment theses. Cross-Functional Business Support Prepare concise internal memos, dashboards, and briefing materials summarizing policy developments, market outlook, and recommended actions. Identify undepreciated and mispriced markets and develop first-mover theses. Support development leadership in market selection and prioritization discussions with timely, grounded analysis. Provide early warning where regulatory shifts, adverse rulings, or program design changes may undermine the Company’s position in a target market. Help establish a disciplined internal process for market intelligence and policy monitoring. Provide project-level support on policy and regulatory issues that arise during development, including helping internal teams assess local restrictions, program requirements, and other regulatory obstacles. External Monitoring and Selective Engagement Monitor relevant public proceedings, dockets, stakeholder processes, and industry discussions that may affect the Company’s development strategy. Participate selectively in industry associations, stakeholder meetings, and consultations where doing so would improve the Company’s market intelligence or market positioning. Coordinate with external counsel, consultants, and advisors as needed on specific regulatory or policy issues. Track developer activity across key markets and identify where markets are becoming saturated or under-penetrated.

Strong analytical skills, including the ability to assess how tariffs, incentives, interconnection rules, and market design affect development strategy and project economics.
