Marketing Intern

About Us

The way we heat/cool our homes, power our vehicles, and cook our meals is antiquated: we take for granted that we burn fossil fuels in our homes to keep them comfortable. There is a better way, and massive change is imminent.

Elephant Energy makes it easy for homeowners to upgrade to modern, electric technologies so they can get their home off gas – all at once, or over time. We are building a platform that helps homeowners confidently upgrade their homes with heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, induction, energy efficiency, and EV charging. We are growing quickly, fueled by the ever increasing demand from customers for more comfortable and sustainable homes, as well as a strong tailwind from the Inflation Reduction Act.

We’re building a high energy, creative, and ambitious team. This is an exciting opportunity to gain experience in the rapidly growing climate sector, as well as help to shape our marketing and content strategies on the ground floor.
