Partnerships & Events Marketing Manager

 Location: Boston, MA. Will maintain core Mountain Time working hours (9am-5pm MT)

About Us

For roughly 500,000 years, humans have been burning stuff to heat our homes, burning stuff to light our homes, and burning stuff to power our machines. It’s 2025, people. Let’s change that.

Right now, homes account for roughly 20% of the world’s carbon emissions. Here at Elephant Energy, we know that there is a better way, so we are building a one-stop shop that makes it easy to upgrade to a climate-friendly home. We enable homeowners to confidently make the switch to modern, electric technologies and get their homes off of fossil fuels – all at once, or over time.

Our History

Founded in 2021 by DR and Josh with the goal to accelerate the end of fossil fuel use, our first installation was in Boulder, Colorado in December 2021 and in three short years, we have successfully:

1. Launched a second market in Boston, Massachusetts, in the summer of 2023
2. Installed >1,000 heat pumps in >500 unique homes, receiving these amazing Google reviews along the way
3. Amassed 60+ herdmembers, with plans to continue to expand based on our early and continued success in #electrifyingeverything 
4. Completed a successful Seed stage fundraise, with plans to raise a Series A this year.
