Manager, Government and Regulatory Affairs - SPP and ERCOT

Scout Clean Energy is seeking a motivated and collaborative Manager, Government and Regulatory Affairs to help manage regulatory and market risk by protecting and enhancing the value of Scout's operating assets across the SPP and ERCOT footprints. This role will proactively advocate for Scout's interests in stakeholder processes and related proceedings, while also supporting targeted state and local government affairs efforts as needed.

Primary coverage includes active participation in ERCOT and SPP stakeholder processes and related proceedings, with additional engagement across states where Scout operates and develops projects (currently including Texas, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Missouri, and North Dakota; coverage may evolve). Because Scout's portfolio in this region is weighted toward operating projects, the role will focus on issues that affect day-to-day operations and commercial outcomes and will help craft and advocate for rules that are stable, effective, and aligned with renewable resources' technical capabilities.

Key responsibilities include:

• Monitor, analyze, and track market and regulatory developments in ERCOT and SPP; identify issues of strategic importance to Scout's commercial interests and renewable operations and translate implications into clear internal recommendations and action plans.
• Build and manage relationships with stakeholders, ISO/RTO staff, regulators, policymakers, trade associations, and other market participants; represent Scout in external forums and discussions.
• Participate actively in ERCOT and SPP stakeholder processes to preserve and expand Scout's opportunities in the market; help develop company positions and support preparation of comments.
• Partner with internal teams (legal, engineering, interconnection, development and asset management) to prioritize issues, develop positions, support decision-making, and implement compliance.
• Draft internal briefings, position materials, and decision memos. Communicate risks, progress, and recommended actions to senior leadership.
• Maintain and improve internal tools (e.g., stakeholder maps, engagement logs, policy calendars, and trackers) to support coordinated execution.
• Mentor and support junior team members through knowledge-sharing, feedback, and collaboration.

This individual will join a small team reporting to the Director, Government and Regulatory Affairs, and will coordinate closely with internal and external subject matter experts to advance Scout's market and policy strategy and support execution across the operating and development portfolio.
