at Brightcore Energy

๐Ÿข About Brightcore Energy

Brightcore Energy is at the forefront of the clean energy transition, helping businesses and communities reduce fossil fuel reliance through energy efficiency and renewable solutions. Working here means contributing to a mission-driven company that combines environmental impact with innovative marketing strategies.

About This Role

As a Marketing Analyst, you'll execute end-to-end marketing campaigns, manage social media content, and coordinate industry eventsโ€”all while using data to optimize performance. Your work will directly support Brightcore's goal of accelerating clean energy adoption by amplifying their message across multiple channels.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

You might start by checking HubSpot analytics to review email open rates and social media engagement from yesterday. Then, you'd draft a LinkedIn post about a recent solar installation, schedule it via the content calendar, and jump into a meeting to plan logistics for an upcoming tradeshow. After lunch, you'd update a sales presentation with new case study data from Excel, and end the day by designing a Canva graphic for an Instagram story.

  • A recent marketing graduate or early-career professional with 0โ€“3 years of experience, ready to grow in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment.
  • Proficient in Excel (e.g., pivot tables, VLOOKUP) and PowerPoint, with a knack for turning data into compelling presentations.
  • Hands-on experience with HubSpot CRM or a similar platform; able to build email campaigns and landing pages.
  • Creative and organized, with skills in Canva or Adobe Creative Suite to design engaging social media graphics and sales literature.
