How to Apply for Product Marketing Manager

at Anza RE

๐Ÿข About Anza RE

Anza RE is a renewable energy software and advisory services company that optimizes procurement to boost solar and energy storage projects, directly accelerating the adoption of clean energy. Working here means joining a mission-driven team at the intersection of climate tech and SaaS, where your work helps developers and asset owners make smarter, faster decisions. As a growing company, Anza offers the chance to shape product marketing from the ground up and see your impact on both the platform and the industry.

About This Role

As the Product Marketing Manager, you will be the bridge between Anza's platform and its customers, driving sales growth and adoption through clear positioning, compelling content, and strong sales enablement. You'll ground your work in customer conversations, research, and data analysis, reporting directly to the Senior Director of Marketing. This is a strategic yet hands-on role where you'll craft messaging that resonates with renewable energy professionals and directly influence how Anza's solutions are brought to market.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

You might start your day with a customer interview to gather feedback on a new feature, then collaborate with the sales team to refine a pitch deck. Later, you'll analyze usage data to identify messaging opportunities and draft a blog post or case study that highlights Anza's impact on a solar project. You'll end by syncing with the marketing director on upcoming launch plans, ensuring all content is aligned with the company's growth goals.

๐ŸŽฏ Who Anza RE Is Looking For

  • 3โ€“5 years of product marketing experience in B2B SaaS, preferably in renewable energy, energy storage, or climate tech, with a track record of launching and scaling products.
  • Exceptional writer and communicator who can translate complex technical concepts into clear, benefit-driven messaging for solar and storage developers, EPCs, and asset owners.
  • Data-driven and customer-obsessed: you regularly conduct customer interviews, analyze usage data, and use insights to refine positioning and sales collateral.
  • Collaborative self-starter comfortable working remotely and cross-functionally with sales, product, and leadership in a fast-paced startup environment.

๐Ÿ“ Tips for Applying to Anza RE

1

Highlight any experience marketing software or services to renewable energy audiencesโ€”Anza's customers are solar and storage professionals, so industry fluency is a major plus.

2

Include a portfolio or writing samples that demonstrate your ability to craft product messaging, sales one-pagers, or case studies, ideally for technical B2B products.

3

In your resume, quantify the impact of your product marketing work (e.g., 'increased sales win rate by X%' or 'drove Y% adoption of new feature') to show you're results-oriented.

4

Research Anza's platform and advisory services, then mention specific ways you'd position their procurement optimization tools in your cover letter to show you've done your homework.

5

Emphasize your ability to work remotely and autonomously, as Anza is a distributed teamโ€”provide examples of how you've successfully managed projects and collaborated across time zones.

โœ‰๏ธ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Your passion for accelerating renewable energy adoption and how Anza's mission aligns with your career goals.", 'A specific example of a product marketing campaign or sales enablement initiative you led that drove measurable growth in a B2B SaaS or energy context.', 'Your process for conducting customer research and translating insights into compelling positioning and content that sales teams love to use.', "How you've successfully partnered with sales and product teams in a remote environment to launch new features or enter new markets."]
