Advisor — Utility Commission Strategy (part-time)

The Role

Comity is looking for a part-time Advisor for Utility Commission Strategy to shape how we engage state utility commissions and accelerate utility acceptance of our credit management solutions. This is an advisory role for a seasoned regulatory leader with deep experience in commission processes in states with significant renewable and storage penetration within ISO/RTO markets.

You will help us unlock the regulatory pathway to our credit management solutions adoption: clarifying how commissions influence utility credit practices, what decision-makers care about, and how to position our product so it aligns with their oversight priorities and financial risk considerations.

In this role, you will

• Advise on regulatory positioning: articulate how our product supports commission goals.
• Guide regulatory engagement: refine how we communicate our value to commissions, anticipate concerns, and guide us on which stakeholders to engage and how best to approach them.
• Translate regulatory signals: help us interpret emerging commission priorities and market developments so we can adapt our product and positioning accordingly.
• Leverage your network: open doors with contacts across state commissions, utilities, and energy policy organizations to accelerate education and credibility.

We’re excited about you because

• You’ve been close to the process: you served in a senior role at a state utility commission or held a regulatory affairs or policy leadership role at an electric utility or IPP, with significant exposure to commission decision-making.
• Deep network: you maintain strong relationships across commissions and utilities, including regulatory staff, policy leaders, and utility executives who influence credit and risk decisions.
• Regulatory mindset: you understand how commissions think about reliability, liquidity, credit exposure, and ratepayer protection.
• Renewable exposure: you’ve worked in markets with high renewable and storage penetration.
• Practical and strategic: you translate regulatory and utility experience into clear, actionable recommendations that make our product understandable, credible, and adoptable.
• Trusted presence: your background gives you the credibility to help us navigate complex regulatory environments and build confidence with decision-makers.

LocationThis role is fully remote.
