About Haven Energy
At Haven, we're on a mission to modernize the electric grid through the deployment and aggregation of solar and battery storage. Through strategic partnerships with utilities, non-profits, EPCs, and government agencies, we deploy distributed energy resources at residential and small C&I sites to build virtual power plants (VPPs) at scale. We believe that widespread, decentralized solar and storage is essential to a more resilient and sustainable energy future - come join us.
Summary of Role

- Lead marketing collaboration with utility partners, working closely with their marketing teams to:
- Build program branding and positioning
- Design and launch joint marketing campaigns

Cross-Functional Execution
- Partner closely with Sales, Product, Operations and Program teams to ensure marketing efforts align with sales goals and operational realities.

- Build, mentor, and lead the marketing function.
- Manage external agencies, vendors, and contractors as needed.
- Establish processes that enable fast execution without sacrificing quality or compliance.
