About The Position

EnergyHub empowers utilities and their customers to create a clean, distributed energy future. We help consumers turn their smart thermostats, EVs, batteries, and other products into virtual power plants that keep the grid stable and enable higher penetration of solar and wind power.
We are seeking to hire a Manager, Policy and Regulatory Affairs. The ideal candidate has a background in the electric utility industry, demand-side management expertise, and experience collaborating with a broad spectrum of industry and government stakeholders.
