🏢 About Base Power Company

Base Power Company is revolutionizing home energy by deploying distributed batteries that provide both grid support and outage protection at a fraction of typical costs. Joining Base means working on a mission-critical product that directly combats climate change while delivering tangible savings and resilience to homeowners.

About This Role

As a Growth Marketing lead, you will own the full acquisition funnel—from offline and digital campaigns to downstream conversion—with clear accountability for cost-per-acquisition and response rates. Your work directly fuels the company's expansion into new markets, making you a key driver of Base's growth trajectory.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day at Base might start with reviewing campaign performance dashboards to spot trends or anomalies, then brainstorming with the design team on new creative variations for an upcoming direct mail test. After lunch, you'd meet with the sales team to align on lead quality feedback, and spend the afternoon analyzing A/B test results to optimize targeting for next week's digital ad launch.

🎯 Who Base Power Company Is Looking For

  • A data-driven marketer with 2+ years of hands-on acquisition campaign ownership, ideally in a consumer or home-services context, who can point to specific campaigns where they improved CPA or response rates.
  • Someone who is equally comfortable with offline channels (direct mail, events) and digital channels (paid social, search), and knows how to manage production workflows and vendor relationships.
  • A creative problem-solver who can design rigorous A/B tests (messaging, offers, targeting) and translate performance data into actionable creative briefs for design teams.
  • A cross-functional collaborator who can align with sales, product, and design to ensure growth campaigns support broader market expansion plans.

📝 Tips for Applying to Base Power Company

1

Highlight specific examples of acquisition campaigns you've owned end-to-end, including budgets, channels used, and measurable results (e.g., 'Reduced CPA by 20% through iterative testing of direct mail offers').

2

Show your understanding of the home energy landscape: mention any experience with regulated industries, utility partnerships, or consumer energy products.

3

Tailor your resume to emphasize campaign operations skills—list sourcing, segmentation, vendor management—as these are explicitly called out.

4

Prepare a brief portfolio or case study of a test you designed and the insights you derived; Base values rigorous testing.

5

In your cover letter, reference Base's mission of making energy affordable and resilient, and connect your growth experience to that mission.

🔍 Research Before Applying

To stand out, make sure you've researched:

  • → Understand Base Power's product: how their batteries provide grid support and outage protection, and the value proposition to homeowners.

  • → Check for recent news or funding announcements to gauge the company's growth stage and market expansion plans.

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 Walk me through a campaign you built from scratch: how did you define the target audience, choose channels, and measure success?
2 Describe a time you used A/B testing to improve campaign performance. What was the test, what did you learn, and what was the impact?
3 How would you approach acquiring customers for a home battery product? Which channels would you prioritize and why?
4 Tell me about a time you worked cross-functionally with design or sales to align growth efforts with market expansion.
5 How do you balance creative intuition with data? Give an example of when you had to choose between a creative idea and what the data said.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't submit a generic application—Base is looking for someone who understands the unique intersection of energy and consumer marketing.
  • Avoid focusing only on digital channels; the job explicitly mentions offline channels like direct mail, so show experience or willingness to work across both.
  • Don't overlook the importance of campaign operations (vendor management, list sourcing). Even if you're creative, demonstrate operational rigor.
