Events, conferences, LinkedIn, newsletters, industry memberships and lead handoff to Client Success.
About the role
What this role is for.
Sales in this market happen through subject matter expertise, industry credibility and relationships. GridStrong's engineers are in operator working groups, on conference panels and in the standards discussions shaping PRC-029, PRC-028-1 and the modeling requirements for inverter-based resources and large loads. Marketing's job is to turn that expertise into a steady flow of qualified leads and hand them to Client Success to close.
You will own every growth function inside Operations: events, conferences and speaking engagements, the company's LinkedIn presence, the monthly product newsletter, client advisory newsletters on standards changes, industry memberships, and lead capture and handoff. You are a team of one with the whole company's expertise behind you.
