at Modo Energy

🏢 About Modo Energy

Modo Energy is a data analytics company that empowers the renewable energy sector by optimizing grid-scale battery storage. Their mission is to accelerate the energy transition through data-driven insights, making them a unique player at the intersection of climate tech and marketing.

About This Role

As a Growth Associate in Content Marketing, you'll own the content calendar and attribution systems to measure and amplify the impact of articles, newsletters, and videos across global markets. This role is critical for scaling Modo's thought leadership and driving user acquisition through data-backed content strategies.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start by reviewing the content calendar and checking attribution dashboards in HubSpot to see which pieces drove traffic. You'll then draft a newsletter, use GPT to generate subject line variants, and coordinate with the video team on a new explainer. In the afternoon, you'll analyze Fullstory session recordings to optimize a landing page and set up an Intercom campaign for new signups.

🎯 Who Modo Energy Is Looking For

  • You have hands-on experience with HubSpot for marketing attribution and are comfortable setting up tracking with Fullstory and Intercom.
  • You possess strong writing skills and an analytical mindset, able to translate complex data into compelling narratives.
  • You are a power user of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, GPT-4, Copilot) to automate workflows and accelerate content production.
  • You are curious about renewable energy and battery storage, with a desire to learn and contribute to the energy transition.

Research Modo's content (their blog, newsletter, videos) and reference a specific piece you found impactful in your cover letter.
