at Corinex

🏢 About Corinex

Corinex is a Vancouver-based clean tech company focused on optimizing grid flexibility through digital solutions to enable smarter, low-carbon energy consumption. What makes them unique is their specific focus on grid optimization technology, positioning them at the intersection of energy infrastructure and digital innovation. Someone might want to work there to contribute directly to the clean energy transition while working with cutting-edge technology in a specialized niche.

About This Role

This Marketing and Design Lead role involves implementing brand strategy across all channels while streamlining design processes within the marketing team. The role is impactful because you'll be transforming complex technical material about grid flexibility into compelling communications that reach both technical and non-technical audiences, directly supporting Corinex's mission to advance low-carbon energy solutions.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve designing a presentation to explain grid flexibility technology to potential investors, updating the Webflow website with new case studies, reviewing social media content for brand consistency, and coordinating logistics for an upcoming industry event. You'd likely spend time transforming technical team inputs into marketing materials while managing the library of assets and ensuring all communications align with the company's clean energy mission.

🎯 Who Corinex Is Looking For

  • Has 3+ years of marketing experience specifically in the clean tech or energy sector with proven ability to translate technical concepts for diverse audiences
  • Demonstrates advanced Webflow CMS expertise through portfolio examples showing website management and component adjustment capabilities
  • Provides a strong portfolio showcasing both writing samples and design work across presentations, emails, print materials, and social media assets
  • Has experience managing 5-8 events annually and developing social media strategies while maintaining brand consistency across all touchpoints

📝 Tips for Applying to Corinex

1

Include specific Webflow examples in your portfolio that demonstrate component adjustment and content editing capabilities, not just basic site building

2

Highlight any experience with grid technology, energy infrastructure, or clean tech specifically - don't just mention 'tech' generally

3

Prepare writing samples that show you can explain complex technical concepts about energy systems to both technical and non-technical audiences

4

Showcase event management experience where you handled logistics remotely since attendance at Corinex events isn't required

5

Demonstrate how you've streamlined design processes in previous roles, with concrete examples of efficiency improvements you implemented
