at EnergyHub

🏢 About EnergyHub

EnergyHub is a mission-driven company at the forefront of the clean energy transition, specializing in distributed energy resource management. Unlike traditional energy companies, they empower utilities and consumers to optimize renewable energy usage through innovative technology platforms. Working here means contributing directly to a sustainable future while being part of a remote-first culture that values both technical excellence and environmental impact.

About This Role

This dual Office Manager and Executive Assistant role at EnergyHub requires managing both physical office logistics (despite being remote) and supporting the President and executive team. You'll be responsible for vendor relationships, budget management, and creating a positive remote work environment while ensuring executive operations run smoothly.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start by reviewing and prioritizing the President's calendar, scheduling critical meetings across time zones, and processing expense reports. Midday could involve coordinating with IT on remote employee tech needs, managing vendor invoices, and using Slack automations for new hire communications. The afternoon might focus on budget tracking, ordering supplies for remote employees, and planning virtual engagement activities to reinforce company culture.
