team management
- Find the appropriate balance of internal and external resources to perform IPP functions, and form and build relationships with external providers of outsourced services;
- Collaborate with other NLE leaders and employees to ensure smooth cross-functional relationships. Always remember that the strategic purpose of the IPP is to serve and strengthen the DevCo; you will have to deeply understand and continuously better understand the development business and its leaders’ problems and priorities.
- Develop the IPP’s asset management strategy, for projects that reach commercial operation.
- Ensure that the IPP is overseeing high-quality, on-budget, on-time construction projects, by hiring and managing EPC contractors and others.
- Take responsibility for completing the remaining work to stand up the IPP.
- Don’t subsidize the DevCo, though; defend the IPP against adverse selection, against being taken advantage of by the DevCo. The IPP’s job is to strengthen the DevCo, but it must be paid fairly for everything it does, and it must get a good price for the projects.
- Be accountable to the executive team and the board for profitable and efficient functioning of NLE’s IPP. Own the P&L.
- Collaborate with other IPP employees and the CEO to raise capital to finance projects.
- Manage 6-8 employees who work within the IPP. The team may grow, but staying small and efficient is an objective.
