Portfolio Operations Manager, Commercial
What You’ll Do
-
Own client relationships for a portfolio of 100–200 MW of distributed solar assets post-PTO, advising on preventive and corrective maintenance.
-
Report on monthly asset performance, providing both executive summaries and deeper technical explanation as needed.
-
Convert DAS provided technical performance into a business narrative: lost production into lost revenue, downtime into guarantee or incentive risk, proposed maintenance into cost avoidance, increased availability into increased revenue.
-
Anticipate client and portfolio needs, manage expectations proactively, and preserve the relationship through service failures.
-
Treat client retention, renewal, and portfolio health as cross functionally owned outcomes.
-
Deliver service reports and support technicians on site completing work in the field
-
Create and manage Salesforce Cases and Work Orders for planned and unplanned service activities

-
Track open technical escalations across a portfolio, ensuring Performance Management and Technical Operations findings translate into timely client communication and follow-through.
-
Determine when an issue requires escalation to Performance Management or Technical Operations versus what can be resolved through standard field service dispatch. Flag systemic or recurring issues observed across a portfolio to Performance Management for fleet-level trend analysis
-
Maintain working knowledge of common failure modes and DAS alarm patterns sufficient to have an informed technical conversation with clients and internal specialist teams
-
Advise clients on repair vs. replace and warranty pursuit decisions based on synthesized input from Technical Operations and Performance Management
