How to Apply for Founding Account Manager

at Fram Energy

🏢 About Fram Energy

Fram Energy is tackling a critical bottleneck in clean energy adoption by providing specialized billing software for multi-tenant solar and energy storage projects. This niche focus means you'll work on solving real, complex problems that directly impact the scalability of renewable energy, with the agility of a startup and the mission of a climate tech company.

About This Role

As the Founding Account Manager, you'll be the face of Fram Energy to property managers and residents, ensuring smooth project launches and ongoing satisfaction. This role is pivotal because you'll build the playbooks and systems that define the customer experience as the company scales, directly influencing retention and growth in a nascent market.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your morning might start with checking resident emails and SMS inquiries, then heading out to a property for an in-person visit with a property manager to troubleshoot a billing issue. Afternoon could involve building a communication timeline for a new project launch and iterating on a playbook for resident enrollment. You'll end the day by coordinating with the product team on feedback from the field.

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

3 How do you prioritize tasks when managing multiple property launches simultaneously?

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't submit a generic application—this role requires specific experience with property managers, residents, or energy. Generic customer success examples won't stand out.
  • Avoid downplaying the travel requirement. If you're not based in California or unwilling to travel, don't apply.
  • Don't ignore the 'autonomy' requirement. Emphasize examples where you worked independently, not just as part of a team.
