๐Ÿข About EnergyHub

EnergyHub is a climate tech company that empowers utilities to run demand response programs using connected devices like smart thermostats. They are at the forefront of the clean energy transition, working with major utilities and OEM partners to create a more sustainable grid. Working here means contributing directly to reducing carbon emissions and shaping the future of energy.

About This Role

As a Senior Client Success Manager, you will own the end-to-end client relationship for a portfolio of utility clients, ensuring they successfully launch and operate demand response programs. You'll be the bridge between clients and internal teams, driving value and growth. This role is impactful because you directly help utilities engage customers in energy-saving behaviors, making a tangible difference in grid stability and sustainability.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

You'll start your day by checking client dashboards and emails, then jump into a kickoff call for a new utility program launch. Afterward, you might analyze participation data to prepare a monthly business review for a client, then collaborate with product managers on a feature request from another client. You'll also have internal syncs with sales to discuss renewal strategies and with engineering to troubleshoot an issue, ensuring your clients are always in the loop.

  • Strong project management skills: ability to juggle multiple client launches simultaneously, with meticulous attention to detail.
  • Excellent communication and data storytelling: comfortable presenting insights to utility executives and internal stakeholders.
  • Self-starter with a passion for clean energy and a commercial mindset to identify growth opportunities within existing accounts.
