Job Description

New Leaf Energy compensates all employees in three ways: market-competitive base salary, plus above-market variable compensation, plus an equity-like program such that all employees experience the benefits of ownership.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership
Partner with the CEO, Executive Team, and Board to shape and execute NLE’s strategy.
Collaborate cross-functionally to evaluate business opportunities and market strategies.
Provide financial insight and decision support for investments.
Help the organization remain agile and financially disciplined amid evolving market conditions, policy changes, and industry disruption.
