🏢 About Amperon

Amperon is at the forefront of the energy transition, leveraging AI and machine learning to modernize the grid and accelerate decarbonization. As a remote-first company with a mission-driven culture, you'll work alongside top talent from energy, security, and tech to combat climate change.

About This Role

As a Customer Success Manager, you will be the strategic partner for utilities and grid operators, ensuring they maximize value from Amperon's AI-driven forecasting platform. Your work directly impacts grid reliability, asset optimization, and clean energy adoption.

💡 A Day in the Life

You'll start your day reviewing customer health dashboards and Slack alerts, then jump into a virtual check-in with a utility client to discuss forecast accuracy. Afternoons involve collaborating with product on feature requests and preparing a quarterly business review for a key account.

🎯 Who Amperon Is Looking For

  • Proven experience in customer success or account management within the energy sector (utilities, grid operators, or energy analytics).
  • Strong technical aptitude to understand and communicate AI/ML forecasting concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Strategic thinker who can drive adoption, identify upsell opportunities, and reduce churn for enterprise clients.
  • Excellent project management skills with ability to manage multiple high-stakes accounts remotely.

📝 Tips for Applying to Amperon

4

Tailor your application to emphasize alignment with Amperon's mission of decarbonization and grid modernization.

5

Include examples of cross-functional collaboration with sales, product, and engineering teams.
