Annual Salary Range: $152,941.28 - $236,851.88

Location: Monterey, CA.
About the Position:
Under the direction of the Senior Director of Power Services, the Manager of Market Operations leads 3CE’s front-office market and asset operations. The role owns the CAISO and scheduling-coordinator interface, COA and CC Power operations, asset-operations direction, operational readiness, issue escalation, performance monitoring and contract-operations handoffs. The Manager of Market Operations supervises the Power Resources Markets Manager and the Power Supply Asset Manager.
This is a front-office management class. The Manager of Market Operations explains market and asset drivers; the back office independently validates and controls the financial record.
3CE is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through local control of utility-scale renewable electricity generation, investment in new renewable power projects, and the implementation of innovative energy programs that facilitate the electrification of transportation and the built environment. 3CE promotes long-term electric rate stability and energy security while reducing reliance on fossil fuels and stimulating the local economy.
