at EnPhase Energy

๐Ÿข About EnPhase Energy

EnPhase Energy is a pioneer in advanced solar solutions, driving the transition to a sustainable, solar-powered planet. With a strong emphasis on innovation and global impact, the company offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of renewable energy. Working here means contributing to a mission-driven organization that values digital growth and e-commerce excellence.

About This Role

As the Director of Global E-Commerce, Marketplaces & Digital Growth, you will own the entire online sales strategy, balancing marketplace channels and the direct-to-consumer store. This role is pivotal for driving revenue, margin, and brand presence across multiple regions, directly impacting the company's global expansion. You'll lead a team to optimize performance marketing, merchandising, and analytics, making this a high-visibility position with significant influence on business outcomes.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a review of global e-commerce dashboards, checking traffic, conversion, and ad performance across regions. You'd then lead a cross-functional meeting with marketing, product, and sales teams to align on marketplace promotions or D2C merchandising. Afternoons could involve deep-diving into a regional performance issue, negotiating with marketplace partners, or strategizing the next quarter's paid media plans.

๐ŸŽฏ Who EnPhase Energy Is Looking For

  • A seasoned e-commerce leader with 15+ years of experience, including at least 5 in senior leadership, ideally in solar, energy, or a related B2C product company.
  • Proven track record of scaling online revenue across global marketplaces (e.g., Amazon, Home Depot) and D2C channels, with deep expertise in marketplace operations and brand storytelling.
  • Expert in performance marketing across Google, Amazon Ads, Meta, and other channels, with a data-driven approach to demand generation and ROI optimization.
  • Strong analytical skills to establish KPI dashboards and drive decisions based on traffic, conversion, ad efficiency, and channel profitability.

๐Ÿ“ Tips for Applying to EnPhase Energy

1

Quantify your achievements: Use specific metrics like revenue growth %, marketplace expansion to new regions, or ROAS improvements in your resume and cover letter.

2

Highlight global experience: Emphasize any work with multiple regions, especially in solar or renewable energy markets, and mention familiarity with international marketplace regulations.

3

Showcase digital growth leadership: Provide examples of leading cross-functional teams to launch new marketplace channels or overhaul D2C strategies.

4

Tailor your narrative to EnPhase's mission: Connect your e-commerce expertise to the broader goal of accelerating solar adoption, not just selling products.

5

Prepare a case study: Be ready to discuss a specific turnaround or growth story where you turned around a struggling e-commerce channel or drove significant revenue.

โœ‰๏ธ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your leadership in scaling global e-commerce revenue across marketplaces and D2C, with concrete examples of revenue growth and market expansion.', "Your expertise in performance marketing and how you've used paid media to drive efficient demand generation for a product company.", 'Your ability to build and lead high-performing teams, with emphasis on cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management.', "Alignment with EnPhase's mission to create a sustainable future, demonstrating passion for renewable energy and digital innovation."]

๐Ÿ’ฌ Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

2 Describe a time you turned around a D2C e-commerce channel that was underperforming. What metrics did you focus on?
3 How do you allocate budgets across Google, Amazon Ads, and Meta to maximize ROI for a global brand?

โš ๏ธ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't focus solely on B2C e-commerce without acknowledging the B2B or installer channel, which is critical in solar. Show you understand the full ecosystem.
  • Avoid generic statements about 'driving growth' without specifics on marketplace management or performance marketing tactics.
  • Don't overlook the importance of margin and profitabilityโ€”this role requires balancing revenue with channel profitability, not just top-line growth.
