Endurance Energy 
Director of Commercialization
Seattle, Washington
Position still open 7/15/2026

About Endurance
Endurance is building the world's first modular subsea geothermal power plants, converting vast thermal resources under the ocean into gigawatts of baseload power. Backed by Founders Fund, Felicis, First Round Capital, and Point72 Ventures, our founding team includes veterans from SpaceX, Helion, and Robinhood. We have completed multiple deep-ocean deployments and are launching a long-term demonstration project this fall. By leveraging modular design, manufacturing scale, efficient drilling, and latent cooling on the seafloor, we are pioneering a new category of energy that outperforms traditional sources on both environmental impact and cost.
 

What you'll be doing
As the Director of Commercialization at Endurance, you will own commercial strategy, customer development, and deal execution across the Pacific Ocean, Endurance's target market, from the first power offtake agreements today to the bankable, multi-gigawatt project pipeline that defines the company's long term commercial trajectory.
You will be in the room with utility executives, hyperscaler infrastructure leaders, sovereign energy authorities, and defense program offices, structuring the deals that translate Endurance's technology into committed contracts, capital, and customers. In the near term, that means driving the commercial thread with hyperscaler partners on subsea pilots, structuring offtake and partnership terms for our first commercial projects, leading commercial work on the US federal lease and Program of Record path, and developing the partnership architecture for our Japan and broader Pacific opportunities.
You will be expected to operate with extreme ownership over Endurance's commercial outcomes. If a customer conversation stalls, a deal structure isn't penciling, a partnership is drifting, or a procurement window is closing, you are the person driving resolution.
At the same time, you will build the commercial organization required to scale Endurance into a world-class energy company. This includes hiring and leading the power sales, offtake, partnerships, and commercial operations team, developing the bankability framework that every project opportunity is filtered against, establishing commercial standards and deal-review processes, and defining the eventual commercial architecture of a company selling firm clean power across the Pacific.
The ideal candidate is equally comfortable structuring a power purchase agreement, negotiating a strategic partnership with a hyperscaler, briefing a sovereign energy minister, sitting through a DoD technical exchange, hiring senior commercial talent, and defining the commercial operating system of a future gigawatt-scale energy company.
You will work with the CEO and COO on the highest-leverage commercial conversations, and you will partner closely with the Head of Policy and External Affairs, who runs the regulatory and government relationship layer where commercial and policy work intersect.

Key Responsibilities

• Own commercial strategy and deal execution, from early offtake agreements to multi-gigawatt project structuring
• Build and lead a world class commercial organization including power sales, offtake structuring, strategic partnerships, and commercial operations
• Drive customer development with utilities, hyperscalers, sovereign authorities, and defense program offices across the Pacific region
• Lead commercial structuring on US federal lease pursuits, Program of Record paths, and utility relationships in close partnership with Policy and External Affairs
• Develop and own the bankability framework that every pipeline opportunity is filtered against
• Build and maintain a high-quality commercial pipeline with disciplined qualification, sequencing, and forecasting
• Partner closely with Policy and External Affairs on government and defense customers, splitting responsibility between the regulatory and commercial layers of each opportunity
• Represent Endurance in executive-level customer conversations, technical and commercial workshops, and critical negotiations
• Establish commercial standards, deal review processes, contract structures, and pipeline management systems
• Build a culture of accountability, urgency, commercial discipline, and customer obsession across the commercial organization
• Collaborate closely with engineering, operations, finance, and policy teams to ensure deals are technically credible, operationally deliverable, and financially structured for long-term value

Qualifications

• Experience selling or structuring PPAs and partnerships in energy, power, utilities, hyperscaler infrastructure, or defense markets
• Strong technical fluency with the ability to hold credibility in rooms with engineers and scientists
• Track record of building and leading exceptional commercial teams
• Experience navigating long sales cycles with executive stakeholders
• Strong understanding of energy or defense procurement cycles and capital flows
• Willingness to travel internationally across the Pacific region when commercial relationships require it

Preferred Skills

• Background in federal acquisitions, Program of Record pursuits, or DoD or DoE commercial pathways
• Experience with hyperscaler partnership structures, data center development, or infrastructure colocation deals
• Experience with sovereign or international commercial relationships across the Pacific region
• Prior experience building a commercial organization from early-stage prototype to scaled commercial operations

• Hands-on Experience: Participate in sea trials and deployment operations in partnership with leading oceanographic institutions
• Cutting-edge Development: Work with technology that spans high-power electronics, marine systems, and clean energy
• Impactful Work: Help solve one of the world's most pressing challenges
• Competitive Compensation: Comprehensive salary and equity packages
• Benefits: Vision, Dental, Health insurance coverage

Center for Public Enterprise
The Mountain West Geothermal Consortium (MWGC)
Program Manager, Geothermal Data Modernization
Position still open 7/14/2026
Full time, Remote
The Consortium is looking to fill this role immediately, with the program expected to launch in early September 2026.

Program Overview

The Mountain West Geothermal Consortium (MWGC) is a nonprofit initiative working to help western State governments accelerate geothermal energy development. The Consortium brings together state energy offices, developers, investors, utilities, insurers, and research institutions around a shared goal: removing the policy, financing, and market barriers that prevent geothermal from scaling in one of the most resource-rich regions in the world.

The Consortium’s work is organized around three core intervention areas: a drilling derisking mechanism to backstop appraisal well costs and reduce early-stage investment risk; a public data discovery and modernization effort to improve access to subsurface resource data for developers; and a utility engagement workstream to create durable pathways for geothermal offtake through IRP inclusion, interconnection access, and improved contracting structures. The Consortium is staffed and managed by CPE and Constructive, and is funded by philanthropic support.

Description

This position sits within the Consortium’s public data modernization workstream. State geological surveys, oil and gas commissions, mining authorities, and water agencies across the Mountain West hold vast archives of open access subsurface data collected over decades. Much of this data exists on paper but is inaccessible to modern analytical tools. The Consortium is standing up a multiphase effort to catalogue, scan, digitize, standardize, and publish this high value legacy data.

A core component of this role is coordinating across a fragmented ecosystem. The program spans multiple states, each with multiple relevant agencies, across complex, sequential stages. Its success depends on disciplined workplanning, vendor management, and the ability to coordinate across state agencies whose structures, systems, and data-stewardship maturity vary widely. The ideal candidate is an exceptional manager who is able to hold both a technology vendor and a range of government data custodians to a shared plan. The role will leverage AI enabled workflows, coordinate with multiple state geologic surveys, a technology vendor, and engage public and private sector stakeholders while keeping the program on schedule, on budget, and delivering against its milestones.

Familiarity with geothermal or subsurface data is helpful but secondary. The Consortium is looking to fill this role immediately, with the program expected to launch in early September 2026.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end program management across all phases including  workplanning, scheduling, budget tracking, and milestone and deliverable management across a multiphase, multi-year effort.
• Serve as the central coordinating point across state data custodians whose organizational structures and data stewardship maturity differ from state to state (e.g., geological surveys, oil and gas commissions, water boards, and water resource agencies).
• Manage technology vendor relationships, including scope of work, deliverables, and timelines for an AI enabled digitization workflow and its integration with the target data host.
• Coordinate development of a regional data catalogue and dataset prioritization process, including running a developer RFP to gather industry input on the highest-value datasets to digitize.
• Secure the permissions and access needed to work with data housed across state agencies, and manage coordination with in-house state geologists for verification of low confidence data.
• Track budget and in kind contributions across phases, manage risks and dependencies, and maintain a clear reporting cadence to Consortium leadership and funders.
• Coordinate across partners and the broader Consortium team to keep technical, state agency, and philanthropic stakeholders aligned.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of program or project management experience, ideally leading multi-stakeholder, multiphase programs involving external vendors and public-sector partners
• Demonstrated experience managing external technical vendors or contractors (e.g., software development, data services, or IT integration) including scoping, deliverable tracking, and quality management
• Proven ability to coordinate across multiple government agencies or institutional partners with differing structures, systems, and capacity
• Strong budget management, workplanning, and milestone-tracking discipline, with a track record of delivering complex programs on time and on budget
• Working fluency with data-management concepts (e.g., file formats, standardization, metadata, and GIS-ready outputs) sufficient to manage technical scope without needing to be the technical expert
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate between technical vendors and non-technical government stakeholders

Preferred Experience

• Experience working with or alongside state geological surveys, oil and gas commissions, water boards, or state energy offices
• Familiarity with geothermal or adjacent subsurface data (oil and gas, mining, geologic resource assessment)
• Experience with AI-enabled document extraction, data digitization, GIS, or geospatial dataset development

Expected Outcomes

• A completed regional data catalogue identifying all publicly available data
• A prioritized dataset list informed by developer input
• A functioning AI enabled digitization workflow delivered by the technology vendor and integrated with the target data host
• Priority legacy datasets scanned, digitized, standardized, and published into a verified regional geospatial database, delivered on schedule and on budget
• Durable working relationships across the Mountain West region’s state data custodians and a repeatable coordination model that can scale to additional states and datasets

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary range: $100-125,000; commensurate with experience.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with organizational match.
• Generous paid time off and professional development opportunities.
