Dispatch & Customer Operations Manager

About Aigent Energy

AGent is building the leading software platform to optimize distributed generation resources — turning energy liabilities into reliable, monetizable assets. We bring AI to the aggregation, orchestration, and monetization of distributed generation in wholesale and retail power markets, delivering meaningful reliability, economic, and sustainability benefits to commercial, institutional, and industrial energy users, utilities, and grid operators.

We move fast, think big, and operate with a lean, high-trust team. Every hire matters here.

About the role

AGent is seeking a Dispatch & Customer Operations Manager who is equal parts calm under pressure and relentlessly organized. This role has two modes — and you need to be excellent at both.

When a market dispatch is called, you are the quarterback. Everything stops. You activate the AGent portfolio, lead internal coordination, communicate with customers, and ensure we deliver flawlessly. You own the outcome.

The other 95% of the time, you are building the connective tissue of AGent's customer-facing operations: onboarding customers, working cross-functionally with Field Engineering, Energy Markets, and Sales, managing HubSpot, and laying the process foundation for a customer success function that will eventually scale into a lean team.

This role reports directly to the Head of Operations. Together, you'll build the processes, tighten the internal data, and create the systems that allow AGent to grow quickly without breaking. You'll be expected to leverage Claude AI as a force multiplier — using it to draft communications, build processes faster, synthesize information, and scale your output well beyond what a single person could otherwise accomplish.

This is a role for someone who is mission-driven, detail-obsessed, customer-empathetic, and genuinely excited to be at the center of everything.

Responsibilities

Dispatch Operations — The Quarterback Role

• Be the first responder to any inbound market signal, dispatch notification, or grid operator communication — drop everything and execute
• Lead all internal coordination during a dispatch event: activate the portfolio, align the AGent team, communicate status in real time, and drive toward a flawless delivery
• Monitor market alerts and high-alert conditions, keeping the internal team informed and prepared to act
• Conduct and coordinate dispatch verification tests, including seasonal portfolio testing for market compliance
• Capture lessons learned after every dispatch event; track and resolve any customer issues that arise
• Audit offers portfolios regularly to identify suboptimal schedules, sites not in market, or incorrect kW offer values
• Support the Energy Markets team with offer management and real-time market optimization during dispatch windows

Dispatch Readiness & Customer Preparedness

• Own the dispatch readiness calendar — ensure all customers are tested, validated, and prepared well ahead of seasonal start dates
• Create and deliver seasonal readiness communications to customers ahead of peak dispatch periods
• Monitor customer participation performance and proactively address gaps before they become issues
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date records of customer site status, program enrollment, and readiness in HubSpot

• Build the processes, playbooks, and templates that will define AGent's customer success function as the company scales
• Eventually hire and manage a lean team of customer success associates as the portfolio grows

Operations & Data

• Own HubSpot as the system of record for customer accounts.  From signed customer agreement through payments, this role will own all of the required Hubspot processes and data and must maintain rigorous data hygiene
• Work with the Head of Operations to tighten internal data flows and build reporting that gives leadership real-time visibility into portfolio health
• Contribute to process documentation across dispatch operations and customer success
• Identify and implement tools and automation that reduce manual work and improve operational efficiency
