AiGent has retained Dylan Green to lead the recruitment for its next Distributed Energy Market Manager in support of the company’s strategic growth initiatives.

The Company

AiGent Energy is building a next-generation software platform that helps organizations unlock the full value of distributed energy resources.

Role Overview

AiGent is looking for an experienced energy market manager to lead the participation of distributed energy resources (DERs) in wholesale power markets.

The ideal candidate is a data-driven problem solver with a strong track record in wholesale power participation, distributed generation, and market operations. You excel at building cross-functional collaboration, creating innovative solutions, and translating complex requirements into seamless execution. Your mission: develop the infrastructure and ecosystem that can reliably integrate MW into the grid and continuously optimize their market performance at scale.

Previous experience working directly with DERs and participating in wholesale energy markets is essential for this role.
