The Vice President, Renewables will engage landowners with renewable energy leases, manage a pipeline of leads, negotiate terms, support legal processes, and achieve sales targets.
Unison Infrastructure – Remote (U.S.)
Unison Infrastructure is a fast‑growing global infrastructure investment platform. We partner with landowners that lease their property to wind, solar, and battery storage projects and help them unlock long‑term value from their leases, while supporting the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure across the United States.
We’re looking for driven, sharp communicators who love connecting with people, solving problems, and making a meaningful impact in the clean energy sector
About the Role
Your mission is to engage landowners who have leased their property to renewable energy developers, build trust, explain our programs, and guide them through a transparent closing process to maximize the value of their existing lease.
We do this in two ways – by purchasing the leased property from the landowner or purchasing an easement over the leased property.
This role is 100% remote, high‑energy, and perfect for someone who thrives in a relationship‑driven sales environment.
What You'll Do
- Conduct daily outbound calls to landowners nationwide with existing wind, solar, and battery storage leases.
- Manage a personal pipeline of origination leads, researched and provided by the company, from sourcing to closing.
- Quickly build rapport, understand landowner needs, and educate landowners on lease buy-out structures and long‑term financial/tax considerations.
- Negotiate transaction term sheets.
- Transition the opportunity to Unison’s legal team for closing; support the investment underwriting process with project due diligence.
- Achieve personal monthly, quarterly, and annual targets related to origination and closings.
- Maintain accurate notes and follow‑up schedules in CRM systems.
- Travel: 10%
- 3 x Quarterly in-person team meetings (United States).
- 1 x Annual global all-hands meeting (Europe).
What We're Looking For
- Experience in sales, land acquisition, or phone‑based customer engagement (renewables experience is preferred, but not required).
- Comfort explaining financial concepts in simple, relatable terms.
- Strong listening skills and the ability to navigate objections with ease.
- Self‑motivation — you excel in a remote environment and manage your own time well.
- A positive attitude and an ownership mindset – you are responsible for what happens in your business.
Required Education & Experience
- Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university or equivalent work experience in real estate and/or renewable energy development.
- 5+ years of experience originating or developing within renewables, commercial real estate, mortgages, telecom, land acquisition, or mineral rights acquisition.
- Experience transitioning real estate transactions from sourcing through close.
- Familiarity with finance concepts such as IRR and NPV.
Why Join Unison Infrastructure?
Competitive salary and commission.
Full remote flexibility — work from anywhere within the U.S.
Fast-growing company with real opportunities to advance.
Supportive team, autonomy to build your own origination pipeline, and all the tools you need to succeed.
Meaningful work that helps landowners and their families.
