Vice President, Energy Performance & Assurance

Position Summary:

Cenergistic is seeking a highly analytical and client-focused Vice President of Energy Performance & Client Reporting to lead our enterprise-wide Measurement & Verification (M&V) function. This role is central to ensuring the accuracy, transparency, and credibility of our energy savings and performance outcomes across all client engagements.

The ideal candidate brings a rare combination of technical expertise, financial discipline, and executive communication skills. A background in public accounting or financial oversight — including CPA certification — is highly desirable, as this role will frequently present complex performance data to C-suite executives, boards, and external auditors.

This is a high-impact leadership role responsible for translating verified energy and cost savings into trusted results that sustain client relationships and drive renewals.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership

· Design and execute a forward-thinking M&V and client reporting strategy aligned with organizational objectives.

· Serve as a trusted advisor on energy performance, data integrity, and cost savings validation across the enterprise.

· Represent Cenergistic at client briefings, industry conferences, and internal strategy sessions as a subject matter expert.

Client-Facing Communication & Reporting

· Present M&V findings and savings analyses to senior stakeholders including CFOs, superintendents, and board members.

· Translate complex technical and financial data into accessible, persuasive narratives tailored to executive audiences.

· Collaborate with Client Success and Sales teams to reinforce performance transparency and contract value.

Operational Oversight

· Oversee all measurement and verification efforts for energy conservation, sustainability, and performance contracts.

· Ensure rigorous compliance with IPMVP, ASHRAE, and relevant regulatory/financial reporting standards.

· Establish and maintain quality assurance protocols for all performance reports and analyses.

· Lead and grow a high-performing team of analysts and M&V professionals.

· Define performance standards, metrics, and review cycles to ensure excellence and accountability.

· Foster a culture of technical excellence, continuous improvement, and cross-functional collaboration.

Qualifications

Education & Experience

· Bachelor's or master's degree in accounting, Engineering, Energy Management, Data Analytics, or a related field.

· Certified Public Accountant (CPA) strongly preferred.

· 10+ years of experience in energy efficiency, financial auditing, or performance verification, including 5+ years in a leadership role.

· Experience engaging with C-level stakeholders and presenting to external clients or boards.

Skills & Attributes

· Expertise in M&V methodologies and financial validation frameworks.

· Strong command of accounting standards, audit processes, and compliance best practices.

· Exceptional analytical and communication skills, especially in simplifying data for non-technical audiences.

· Proficiency in advanced reporting tools and data analysis platforms (e.g., Excel, Power BI, Tableau).

· Proven leadership in high-stakes environments with measurable impact on client retention and satisfaction.
