About the role
As we rapidly scale in the U.S., we’re looking for a Senior Manager, Commercial Strategy & Development to join our growing team and help shape the future of the electric grid - the largest and most complex machine ever built.
Shape the next phase of envelio's growth in the U.S. You'll work directly with executive leadership to identify where our platform creates the greatest value: across new use cases, regulatory tailwinds, strategic partnerships, and product capabilities. This is an opportunity to help define our commercial strategy, not simply execute an existing playbook.
Your focus will be expanding where and how envelio's platform is applied across the U.S. utility market. By having a deep understanding of utility procurement, regulatory drivers, and operational challenges, you'll identify opportunities that shape our market strategy and inform future product direction.
📌 Location: Hybrid - Boston, MA preferred, or Remote (Eastern Time Zone).
✈️ Travel: Travel required as needed
👤 Reports to: Luigi Montana, CEO
\nWhat you’ll do- Drive the scope expansion of envelio's platform and identify where the regulatory and procurement environment creates real demand.
- Track and analyze regulatory proceedings and industry trends and translate those into commercial opportunities that align with envelio’s strategy.
- Build and manage a strong partner network to accelerate market development and build holistic solutions for utilities.
- Work with the product and engineering teams to shape how the platform evolves for the US market - translating field intelligence into roadmap input and ensuring new use cases land with the right capabilities.
- Develop a point of view on market segmentation: which utility types and which geographies represent the strongest near-term opportunities, and where the platform's proven capabilities create the clearest competitive advantage.
- Support active sales pursuits with market context, competitive intelligence, and use-case framing when needed - but your primary job is upstream of the pipeline, not inside it.
- Minimum 5+ years of relevant experience in the utility industry or grid tech, ideally in the space of planning, engineering, interconnection, data.
- Strong commercial, regulatory, and technical understanding and the ability to bridge those.
- Clear communication, structured thinking, organization, and good product sense.
- Drive to build and execute with speed.
- Strong collaborator who can build relationships internally, with partners and utilities.
- Be willing to travel, if needed.
The final salary offered will depend on several factors, which may include, but is not limited to relevant years of experience, educational background, industry knowledge, and technical skills.

⚡ envelio - Supporting the smarter, faster evolution of your power grid.
We provide distribution grid operators with the Intelligent Grid Platform (IGP) – a software suite that brings all your grid data together to enable real-time decisions, long-term planning, and much, much more.
With real-time digital twins, automated grid assessments, and live monitoring, IGP empowers DSOs to manage increasing infrastructure complexity, renewable integration, and growing power demand.
Our applications cover the full spectrum of operations and planning:
🔹 Process thousands of connection requests in minutes, not days
🔹 Detect grid congestion risks before they cause trouble
🔹 Simulate and plan new grid areas with confidence
🔹 Evaluate the grid impact of EVs, PVs, and heat pumps before they’re built
IGP integrates seamlessly with existing systems like GIS, NIS, SCADA, MDM, EDM and others – enhancing visibility without overhauling existing workflows. And because it’s modular, grid operators can start where they need impact the most.
Trusted by grid operators across Europe and beyond – from Westnetz to Helen Electricity Network and Eversource – envelio's IGP is setting new standards in grid management and planning, facilitating a smoother transition to renewable energies.
