The Position

Do you dream about creating a more sustainable future? At Uplight, we are motivating energy users and providers to accelerate the clean energy ecosystem. Working with over 90 of the world’s leading electric and gas utilities, Uplight provides an end-to-end customer energy experience. Uplight delivers personalized experiences that customers have now come to expect–improving satisfaction, increasing revenue, reducing the cost to serve, and contributing to carbon reduction goals. We are B Corp certified, enabling us to put our values into action by not only making decisions for the benefit of our shareholders, but also for our customers, environment, employees, and community.

We are seeking a Senior Product Marketing Manager to join our team and help us achieve our ambitious goals for our business and the planet.

What you get to do:

Uplight is looking for an ambitious, highly talented, and experienced Senior Product Marketing Manager to develop and execute the go-to market strategy for one or more products. This person is responsible for developing the strategy and plans for communicating their products’ value to the market. This role reports to the Vice President of Product Marketing and will work closely with the Chief Market Innovation Officer, Industry Marketing, product management, and our customer-facing sales and customer success teams. Key responsibilities include planning, designing, and positioning Uplight’s commercial offerings across its expanding customer base, market channels and geographic footprint. Experience with utilities or energy programs is strongly preferred.

Skills and experience are necessary, but we hire on value alignment first, so if you feel you would be a good fit with us, still consider applying.

What you will contribute:

• Lead development and execution of the go-to-market strategy for one or more solutions through market research, competitive analysis, collateral development, and collaboration with the relevant teams.

• Understand and support our Sales, Product, Marketing, and Account Management teams; train them on the problems we solve for our buyers and users, as well as the market at large; develop internal tools and external collateral and teach them how and when to use it.

• Extract key insights from in-depth analyses of our market and solutions, synthesizing and packaging for internal teams while also incorporating into market-facing collateral.

• Proactively identify, lead, and execute specific go‐to‐market strategy projects, which can include positioning, packaging, market intelligence, and other projects.

• Develop narratives with supporting proof points demonstrating the value that our products bring to our clients, including not only the “what,” but the “why,” “how,” and “so what,” in the form of case studies, presentations, marketing collateral, and more.

• Work cross-functionally with teams across the organization including but not limited to Product, Sales, Account Management, Finance, Reporting, Insights, and Data Science.

Sales and Marketing Strategy and Enablement:

• Ensure PMM resources consistently align sales and marketing teams on core use cases, personas, customer profiles, and competitive differentiation.

• Clearly articulate and test a product’s unique value in a way that resonates with the market. Serve as an expert market- and client-facing resource, bringing your expertise to industry conferences as well as client meetings.

• Contribute to pricing, solution KPIs and company strategic projects.

• Develop product or feature launch plans, collaborating with the Industry Marketing team on content and execution.

Market and Product Analysis:

• Collaborate with the Market Development team to define and size market opportunities, using TAM/SAM and other tactics.

• Synthesize market information into insights that inform positioning, roadmap, and go-to market strategy.

• Ensure competitive research and analysis is being updated and leveraged effectively.

• Translate win/loss analysis into recommendations for the product roadmap and go-to market plans.

• Collaborate with the Product Management team to inform roadmap priority and market strategy based on research.

Skills and experience are necessary, but we hire on value alignment first, so if you feel you would be a good fit with us, still consider applying.

What you bring to Uplight:

• 7+ years of product marketing experience in the energy and/or climate space with a deep understanding of the market, business incentives, and regulatory environment.

• Passion for storytelling and impact.
