The Head of Renewable Energy Engineering was an entertaining read
The role: Head of Renewable Energy Engineering
As the engineering leader of Google’s alternative energy initiative, you will be responsible for building a team of team of top technologists with backgrounds in alternative energy to evaluate and develop various forms of renewable energy in order to reduce the cost of renewable electricity. Google’s goal is to have renewable energy as a major source of Google’s internal power needs within a reasonable time frame. We are looking for an accomplished entrepreneur with a strong technical foundation who can effectively work with the key stakeholders at Google in making this a reality.
Responsibilities:
- Build, lead and motivate a world-class team of alternative energy experts with diverse technical skill sets focused on reducing the cost of renewable energy.
- Develop technologies and systems that make breakthrough cost reductions compared with products currently available in the marketplace.
- Partner with cross-functional energy team leaders in engineering, business development, Google. org, real estate and business operations to conceptualize and implement Google’s renewable energy strategy.
- Evaluate energy trends in order to order effectively direct Google’s strategic technical direction in regards to renewable energy.
Google is looking for a God of Renewable Energy and I would guess this position has been open for months as they are looking for super human skills. If someone was good enough to do this, they would have so much VC money after them.
The other job which gave me a good laugh was this one for Investments Principal.
The role: Investments Principal, Renewable Energy Solutions
An Investments Principal in Renewable Energy Solutions works closely with Google.org's senior leadership team, climate team and investment managers in helping to evaluate renewable energy investments. You bring significant venture capital or transactional experience, a proven track record of successful strategic investments and the ability to work effectively in a rapidly changing environment.
Responsibilities:
- Help lead Google.org's effort in evaluating renewable energy investment opportunities.
- Identify, develop and execute partnerships to develop financing solutions.
- Conduct financial and business analysis and related due diligence on potential investment opportunities that address the climate crisis.
- Assist with decisions relating to investments in global health and development, particularly regarding the impact of the changing climate on those areas.
- Negotiate terms of investments with partners and manage ongoing partner relationships.
The part that had me chuckling was the requirement for a
a proven track record of successful strategic investments
Does anyone have a proven record of successful strategic investments in renewable energy? Maybe it should be a proven track record of failed investments, demonstrating you have learned from your mistakes.
