How to Apply for Marketing Content Specialist

at New Energy Equity (NEE)

🏢 About New Energy Equity (NEE)

New Energy Equity (NEE) is a mission-driven solar development company that has financed and developed over 330MW of clean energy since 2013. Unlike many renewables firms, NEE focuses on building community relationships and helping landowners transition to solar, making it a unique place to work where your content directly supports renewable energy adoption.

About This Role

As a Marketing Content Specialist, you will craft compelling stories for landowners and communities, manage social media strategy across all company accounts, and lead internal communications like newsletters and town halls. Your work will directly impact landowner engagement and brand awareness, driving NEE's mission to expand solar access.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your morning might start with reviewing social media analytics and scheduling posts for the week. Midday, you could draft a blog post about a new solar project, then collaborate with the design team on graphics for a direct mail campaign. Afternoons often involve writing the internal newsletter or preparing slides for an upcoming town hall.
