About The Position

Haven Energy is on a mission to accelerate the clean energy transition by deploying and aggregating solar + battery storage systems. Through partnerships with utilities, EPCs, non-profits, and government agencies, we install distributed energy resources (DERs) at residential and small commercial sites to build virtual power plants (VPPs) at scale. As a growing startup, we’re looking for dynamic and driven problem-solvers who are committed to making clean energy simple, equitable, and reliable for everyone. We operate two business units – Direct and Channel – that serve our partners and end consumers. The Direct team delivers full-service solar + battery installations for residential and C&I customers. This team works directly with homeowners, nonprofits, small businesses, and utilities across the project lifecycle, from customer acquisition through installation to system management.

You will partner closely with product, engineering, growth, CX, and data teams to deliver measurable impact. You will also partner with designers across other teams to build and refine Haven’s visual design language, streamline prototyping processes, and elevate our brand identity. We're looking for a creator who thrives in experimentation, visual storytelling, and systems thinking. This is a remote role within the United States, with 2 to 3 in-person team meetups per year.
