Marketing Manager
Elephant Energy
Location: Denver Metro Area
About Us
The way we heat/cool our homes, power our vehicles, and cook our meals is antiquated: we take for granted that we burn fossil fuels in our homes to keep them comfortable. There is a better way, and massive change is imminent.
Elephant Energy is your one-stop shop to a climate-friendly home. We make it easy for homeowners to upgrade to clean, safe, and affordable technologies and upgrades for their homes and vehicles.
We are growing quickly, supported by ever-increasing demand from customers looking to play a role in the climate transition, and a strong tailwind from the Inflation Reduction Act.
We’re building a high energy, creative, and ambitious team. This is an exciting opportunity to join at the ground floor and shape how we define a new category – climate-friendly homes. We are hiring a Marketing Manager to help us continue to educate and empower homeowners to make the transition to cleaner, healthier, and safer living.
