🏢 About Voltus
Voltus is a mission-driven leader in the clean energy transition, using its DER technology platform to connect distributed energy resources and operate virtual power plants.

About This Role
As a Field Marketing Manager, you will own the end-to-end marketing strategy for select territories, working closely with Sales and Energy Markets teams to drive pipeline and win rates. This role is not just about executing campaigns but being a strategic thought partner who understands the nuances of each territory and proactively supports deal advancement. Your work will directly influence revenue growth and market penetration in the distributed energy space.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with a check-in with the sales team to review pipeline and identify upcoming needs, followed by crafting an email campaign for a specific region. You might spend time coordinating logistics for an upcoming trade show or webinar, and later analyze campaign performance metrics to refine strategies. Throughout the day, you'll collaborate with the marketing team and external vendors to ensure execution aligns with the overall go-to-market plan.

📝 Tips for Applying to Voltus
Tailor your resume to highlight specific examples of how you've driven regional marketing strategies and contributed to sales goals, using metrics where possible.
In your cover letter, explicitly mention your experience with B2B demand generation, ideally in the energy or sustainability sector, and how you've partnered with sales to win deals.

Since the role is remote, emphasize your ability to work independently and manage time effectively, with examples of successful remote collaboration.
If you have experience with marketing automation tools or CRM (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce), mention it, as it's likely critical for campaign execution and tracking.
