## Job description

🎯 Why we exist We’re on a mission to improve the reliability, transparency, and efficiency of our energy systems, fostering a future with sustainable and abundant energy. To accomplish our aims, we’re leveraging state of the art statistical learning and convex optimization methods (AI) to build the financial trust layer for the electric age. We envision energy systems that are efficient, autonomous, resilient, and electrified.

🧗 Who we are We are an energy-obsessed, talented, and hard working entrepreneurial team. We are rooted in the spirit of the first mass electrification, when substations and transmission lines lit up America's cities fueling an era of unprecedented growth. Today, we are helping power the next wave of American ingenuity through a more resilient and affordable energy system. Our founders (ex-Apple, Bluevine; ex-Affirm, Square, Google) are Stanford alumni who have scaled multi-billion-dollar underwriting platforms from scratch. We bring expertise in energy, complex systems, computational science, and structured finance. Our world-class investors, [Maverick Ventures](https://www.maverickventures.com/) and [Caffeinated Capital](https://caffeinatedcapital.com/), are aligned to our policy objectives and platform vision.

## The Role

Comity is looking for a Growth Lead to help us scale our commercial presence across the utility-scale renewable energy market. You will think critically about how we grow, design the strategies to get there, and then go execute them. You will work in close partnership with our founders, with a direct line to product, strategy, and engineering. In this role, you will:

- Design and scale our go-to-market motion — Identify the most efficient paths to growth across segments, channels, and counterparty types. Build and develop partnerships, referral networks, and origination channels that make our commercial reach repeatable and scalable.
- Go sell — You don't just build strategies, you execute them. You go to conferences, you pick up the phone, you get in the room. You own a portion of our pipeline and are accountable for moving prospects forward.
- Feed intelligence back into the business — Through your market interactions, you continuously surface what resonates, what doesn't, and why. You translate that into sharp, actionable feedback that sharpens our product, messaging, and targeting.
- Shape our origination technology systems — Act as a core user of our origination tools, partnering with engineering to translate commercial realities into scalable workflows and AI-powered capabilities that multiply your reach and output as a commercial operator.

As a key early member of the commercial team, you will have a front-row seat to scaling a product, with direct exposure to our founders on growth strategy, sales, and product direction.

We're excited about you because

- You are a sharp, structured thinker — You can take an ambiguous commercial challenge, break it down clearly, and design a path forward. You think in frameworks without being rigid, and you move from insight to action quickly.
- You have a builder mentality — You thrive in 0→1 environments. You operate effectively under ambiguity, move with urgency, and are motivated by creating something new, not optimizing something that already exists. You do what it takes to move the business forward, even when the playbook hasn't been written yet.
- You know how to open doors — You are energized by originating new business, getting in front of people, and turning cold conversations into real opportunities. You build relationships from scratch, convey value with clarity and conviction, and follow through relentlessly.
- You communicate with anyone, at any level — You instinctively tailor your message to your audience. You can hold a crisp conversation with an analyst and a strategic one with a C-suite executive, and you leave every conversation moving something forward.
- You operate with high ownership and low ego — You are team-oriented, collaborative, and generous with context. You elevate the performance of the people around you and take accountability for outcomes without needing credit for the work.
- You are excited about technology as a competitive edge — You see technology as a force multiplier and actively look for ways to use it to move faster and with more precision than the competition.
- You have a genuine interest in energy and financial markets — You follow the energy transition closely, have a view on where power markets are heading, and are drawn to the complexity of how large-scale transactions get financed and secured. You get up to speed fast and ask good questions.
- Bonus — Prior B2B or commercial experience; time at a startup or early-stage company; exposure to financial products; a background in consulting, banking, or investing; a renewable energy / digital infrastructure network.

Location We have hubs in New York, San Francisco, and Chicago.

At Comity, we seek to recruit, develop, and retain the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool. Our priority is to ensure that all applicants are provided with fair and equal access to employment opportunities. Recruiting and hiring decisions are made without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or any other class protected by law.

## About Comity

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Comity uses computational science and AI to redefine counterparty credit risk management for energy forward contracts, reducing grid volatility and lowering energy costs.
- **Entity Type**: Private (early-stage/startup, backed by institutional investors)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Gerad Hanono (CEO, Co-founder), Alex Favaro (Co-founder)

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Energy Financial Services, Commodity Finance, Power Markets, AI-driven Risk Management
- Target customers: Energy producers (generators) and energy users (utilities, industrial consumers) who transact in wholesale electricity forward contracts.
- Mission or purpose statement: “Improve the reliability, transparency, and efficiency of our energy systems, fostering a future with sustainable and abundant energy” — they aim to create “more energy from every invested dollar.”

## Products & Services
- **Comity Clearing Platform**: A technology-driven clearing and counterparty risk management solution for forward contracts in electricity and power-derived commodities. Uses AI and computational science to price and manage credit risk, replacing inefficient traditional collateral requirements. This unlocks capital that is currently tied up as risk buffers, making energy transactions cheaper and more capital-efficient for both producers and consumers.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding (private, not disclosed). The company is backed by an undisclosed set of institutional investors cited as “leading institutions” where the team previously worked (e.g., names of top banks and energy firms implied in their talent pool).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Backed by institutional investors (specific names not publicly disclosed on website or LinkedIn). Talent sources include Equilibrium Energy, Pagaya, Bluevine, TotalEnergies, Wayfair, and major financial institutions.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 27.6% YoY to 16 employees (as of mid-2025). LinkedIn followers grew 47.9% annually. Active job postings increased 225% year-over-year (13 open roles). The company has expanded beyond its New York HQ to include offices in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the United Kingdom.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Deep domain expertise**: Team brings combined experience from power markets, commodity finance, AI, credit, and capital markets — a rare blend of domain and technical talent.
- **State-of-the-art technology**: Uses advanced computational science and artificial intelligence to solve a very specific, high-value problem in the energy market that traditional financial infrastructure hasn’t modernized.
- **Clear problem-solution fit**: Targets the inefficiency of counterparty risk constraints in electricity markets (a huge and costly problem due to limited storage and volatile spot prices). By reducing this friction, they directly lower system-wide energy costs.
- **Mission-driven focus**: Ties its product to enabling the energy transition and scaling technological breakthroughs by making energy more affordable.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the clearing network**: Growing the number of energy producers and users on the platform to increase liquidity and network effects.
- **Product expansion**: Developing new risk products — implied by job postings for roles like “Quantitative Researcher for Congestion Revenue Rights” (a specific energy derivatives product) and “Surety Director” (insurance/bond expertise).
- **Geographic and talent expansion**: Actively hiring across New York, Chicago, Bay Area, and multiple other US locations, while maintaining a presence in Europe (UK, Bosnia).
- **Building for the energy transition**: Positioning itself as the financial infrastructure to support the growth of renewable energy and grid modernization.

## Why Work Here
- **High-impact mission**: Directly contribute to making energy more affordable and reliable, enabling the electrification of the economy and the renewable energy transition.
- **Cutting-edge technical work**: Work at the intersection of AI, computational science, and energy finance — solving uniquely hard problems with modern tools (industry stack: Python, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, Tableau, Python).
- **Talent density and background**: The team is small (<20 people) and highly experienced, coming from top institutions in energy, finance, and tech. Strong culture of expertise and drive.
- **Growth trajectory**: Headcount is doubling, job postings are surging, and the company is expanding internationally — early-stage fast growth with tangible career acceleration for employees.
- **Hybrid/remote flexibility**: Offers remote or hybrid working arrangements depending on role and location. New York HQ has office space for in-person collaboration.
- **Autonomy and ownership**: As a small, growing startup, employees (especially in technical and business roles) will have significant ownership over projects and can shape the company’s direction early.
