🏢 About Energy Solutions

Energy Solutions is a mission-driven consulting firm that delivers market-based energy solutions to drive environmental impact.

Working here means contributing to tangible climate action while collaborating with industry leaders.

About This Role

As Sr. Brand Marketing Manager, you'll lead integrated campaigns that translate complex energy concepts into compelling narratives for diverse audiences. Your work directly supports product adoption and organizational growth, making energy efficiency relatable and actionable. This role is pivotal in shaping how Energy Solutions communicates its impact.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start your day reviewing campaign performance dashboards, then join a virtual brainstorm with the product team to align on messaging for a new energy efficiency program. After lunch, you'd draft a content calendar for a multi-channel launch and meet with a graphic designer to refine visuals. The afternoon could involve analyzing A/B test results from an email campaign and presenting insights to stakeholders.

🎯 Who Energy Solutions Is Looking For

  • A seasoned marketer with 8+ years in brand strategy, ideally in energy, sustainability, or B2B consulting, who understands technical concepts but can simplify them for lay audiences.
  • A strategic thinker who can translate business objectives into multi-channel marketing plans, from messaging frameworks to campaign performance metrics.

📝 Tips for Applying to Energy Solutions

1

Highlight any experience with energy efficiency, clean tech, or sustainability marketing in your resume and cover letter—even if it's a side project or volunteer work.

2

Showcase specific examples of integrated campaigns you've led, including how you aligned messaging with business goals and measured success.

3

In your portfolio or work samples, include pieces that explain technical topics (e.g., energy savings) to non-expert audiences.

4

Tailor your application to emphasize remote collaboration skills, as this role is fully remote—mention tools (Slack, Asana) and processes you use.

5

Research Energy Solutions' current campaigns and programs (e.g., their work with utilities) and reference them in your cover letter to show genuine interest.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Your passion for sustainability and how it aligns with Energy Solutions' mission to reduce environmental impact through market-based solutions.", 'Proven ability to simplify complex technical offerings into clear, compelling messaging for diverse stakeholders (e.g., utilities, policymakers, consumers).', "Specific examples of integrated campaigns you've managed from strategy to execution, with measurable results.", 'Your experience working cross-functionally and in remote teams, demonstrating autonomy and collaboration.']

🔍 Research Before Applying

To stand out, make sure you've researched:

  • → Review Energy Solutions' website and blog to understand their current messaging, key programs (e.g., ENERGY STAR, utility partnerships), and tone.
  • → Look into their recent press releases or case studies to see how they communicate impact and results.
  • → Follow their LinkedIn and Twitter to gauge their brand voice and engagement with stakeholders.
  • → Research competitors or similar consulting firms (e.g., ICF, CLEAResult) to understand Energy Solutions' unique positioning.

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 Walk me through a time you translated a complex technical product into a simple marketing message. What was the process and outcome?
2 How do you measure the success of a brand marketing campaign? Give an example of a metric you used and how it informed future strategy.
3 This role is remote. Describe how you stay aligned with cross-functional teams and manage projects without in-person interaction.

5 Tell me about a time a campaign underperformed. How did you diagnose the issue and what did you change?

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting a generic cover letter that doesn't mention sustainability or energy—this company is mission-driven and wants candidates who care about the cause.
  • Focusing only on creative aspects without showing strategic or analytical chops—the job requires both campaign creativity and data-driven decision-making.
  • Ignoring the remote work aspect—failing to demonstrate experience with remote collaboration or communication tools can be a dealbreaker.
