How to Apply for Team Lead, Client Success

at EnergyHub

🏢 About EnergyHub

EnergyHub is a pioneering company at the intersection of clean energy and technology, specifically focused on distributed energy resources and grid services. What makes them unique is their mission-driven approach to empowering utilities and consumers for a sustainable future through innovative software solutions. Someone might want to work here to contribute directly to the clean energy transition while working with cutting-edge technology in a growing industry.

About This Role

As Team Lead, Client Success at EnergyHub, you'll be responsible for driving revenue and managing ARR for your region while overseeing a team of Client Success Managers. This role is impactful because you'll serve as the primary escalation point for client issues in the renewable energy/utility space and collaborate with internal stakeholders to execute strategic initiatives that directly contribute to company growth and client satisfaction in the clean energy sector.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing regional ARR metrics with your team, joining a strategic planning session with product stakeholders about new grid service features, and serving as escalation point for a utility client experiencing integration issues. You'd likely spend time coaching Client Success Managers on complex client situations while preparing data-driven insights for quarterly business reviews with key energy utility accounts.

🎯 Who EnergyHub Is Looking For

  • Has 7-10 years in SaaS/enterprise software customer success with specific experience in renewable energy, utilities, or grid services (not just general tech)
  • Can demonstrate experience managing both revenue targets (ARR) and team leadership simultaneously in a technical environment
  • Possesses exceptional communication skills with proven ability to explain complex grid services or distributed energy concepts to diverse stakeholders
  • Has strong project management experience specifically related to client success operations in the energy technology space

📝 Tips for Applying to EnergyHub

1

Quantify your impact on ARR or revenue retention in previous roles, specifically mentioning percentages or dollar amounts related to client success in tech/services

2

Explicitly mention your experience with utilities, grid operators, or renewable energy companies - don't assume they'll infer it from general 'energy' experience

3

Highlight any experience with distributed energy resources (DERs), demand response, or grid services software platforms in your resume bullet points

4

Demonstrate your understanding of EnergyHub's specific market position by mentioning their work with utilities and how you'd contribute to their client success model

5

Include specific examples of how you've served as an escalation point for technical client issues in previous SaaS/enterprise software roles

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Your direct experience with utilities, grid services, or renewable energy companies and how it prepares you for EnergyHub's specific client base", 'Specific examples of driving revenue/ARR growth while managing a team in a technical customer success environment', "How you've successfully explained complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders in the energy sector", "Your approach to being a 'trusted advisor' to clients in regulated industries like utilities"]

3 What strategies have you used to explain complex grid services or SaaS platform features to utility executives with varying technical backgrounds?
4 How do you balance driving growth initiatives with maintaining existing client satisfaction in the regulated utility space?
