In addition to managing, you’ll help recruit and onboard new talent while building the playbooks that enable the team to scale effectively. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and enjoy building teams from the ground up, this is the role for you.

• Build and document scalable systems and playbooks to support team growth

Energy CX Company Culture

Our culture is not for everyone. It is designed for people who want to grow fast, take ownership and raise the bar every day.

At Energy CX, we don’t just work—we challenge each other to solve hard problems, innovate boldly and keep improving. We believe in personal growth, extreme accountability and building a team of exceptional people who push one another to be better.

We live by The Four Forces of Innovation — the levers that power innovation at scale:

Higher Standards - Raise the Bar
Excellence isn’t reserved for launches or headlines. It’s how we communicate, plan, and follow through. 

We value ownership, prioritization, focus, discipline, effective communication, action, efficiency, resourcefulness and maximizing value.

Innovate It - Think Differently
Innovation isn’t about flashy ideas, it’s about taking on new challenges and outgrowing what no longer serves. At Energy CX, we are experimenting constantly and building what the customer actually needs—especially when it breaks what came before. 

We value curiosity, experimentation, collaboration, bold thinking, long-term vision, customer centricity and simplicity.

Continuous Growth - Better Every Day

Growth is not perfection – it's our commitment to get better every single day. No matter how successful we become, we stay open, driven and aware that mastery is a process. We improve with feedback and through failures. 

We value grit, transparency, resilience, fulfillment, constant learning, and being one team.

Do Good - Leave It Better
Doing good is about serving others and creating lasting impact. The good we do doesn't usually return to us directly – and that's the point. We believe that every system we strengthen, every teammate we invest in and every customer we guide creates an impact we may never see. But we do it anyway because our work extends far beyond today.

We value humility, community, kindness and leaving every person and project better than we found them.

Our culture rewards personal growth and performance. If you want comfort, predictability or an easy path, this isn’t the place for you. If you want to push boundaries, grow faster than you thought possible and help reinvent how the world buys energy, you’ll thrive here.

We are seeking exceptional individuals to join us.
