Amp Americas
Overview
Amp Americas builds, owns, and operates Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) production facilities that convert dairy waste into carbon-negative natural gas, renewable transportation fuel, and power. Amp is a top 3 producer with eight facilities across five states and more than 1.7 Bcf of carbon-negative RNG per year, with another 0.7 Bcf/year under construction. Amp leverages over a decade of expertise in renewable fuel production, operations, and marketing to deliver turn-key solutions that address greenhouse gas emissions and seek to improve air, land and water quality. We are expanding our commercial portfolio to support new project development and long-term contracted revenue streams. Position Summary Working closely with and reporting to the Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), the Senior Director of Business Development will be an integral part of AMP’s commercial efforts, focusing on multi‑year (3–10+ year) offtake opportunities for AMP’s assets. Long‑dated, infrastructure‑grade markets are nascent, and this role will lead market creation and customer education to support (a) portfolio expansion via new project development and (b) enterprise value enhancement through contracted revenue streams. The role requires experience across multiple energy verticals (gas, power, data centers, commercial & industrial, etc.), with a track record of creating new markets or use cases, building opportunity pipelines, cultivating customer relationships, and negotiating and executing term transactions.

Ability to work independently while collaborating with the Business Development team is essential, as well as a working knowledge of pricing, portfolio management, and back-office functions needed to support commercial transactions. There will be select responsibility for supporting organic and inorganic (M&A) portfolio expansion. This is a senior, externally facing role engaging executive‑level decision makers at customers and partners, with progressive transition of long‑term origination responsibility from the CCO to this role. This position will be remote‑first with frequent travel (50–60%) for industry conferences, customer visits, and team meetings, with a Chicago office hub available.
