This role sits within our Retail Energy Division and works from our Austin HQ. Exceptional remote candidates may be considered.

The Role

We’re hiring a VP of Retail Energy to help drive the next phase of growth. In this role, you be accountable for net-new customer growth and year-1 customer profitability across our sales channels for our two subsidiary retail energy supplier brands.

This is not a role where you’ll be handed a plan and asked to execute it, though there’s a clear near-term roadmap and an incredible team to get you ramped quickly. From day one, you’ll be expected to figure out where the highest-leverage work is, get it done, and build the sales org structure to sustain growth into the next phase.

What You’ll Be Accountable For

• Net-new customer acquisition targets across multiple sales channels

• Year-1 customer economics: CAC payback, early churn, cohort profitability

• Sales compliance risk management - ensuring the sales org operates cleanly

• Building and running pilots of new growth strategies, with scale up once proven

• New market launch execution and ramp to target customer counts

• Sales org development: defining the structure, roles, and processes needed to support the next phase of growth

• Building the capability of your channel leaders so they operate with higher leverage over time

• Vendor and agent management and economics

How Performance is Measured

• Net-new customer acquisitions vs. plan

• CAC payback achievement vs. model

• Sales compliance outcomes

• Sales org capability and readiness for growth

What We’re Looking For

• You have a track record of identifying and executing high-leverage work in ambiguous environments. You’ve figured out what mattered most and drove it.

• You’ve made real mistakes and learned from them. Which means you’ve taken swings and owned the outcomes.

• You’ve managed a team and you’re really good at it. This includes hiring, coaching, giving direct feedback, and addressing underperformance. You’ll be leading an excellent team and they need a strong operating partner.

Retail energy experience is a strong plus. But the core skills, like finding leverage, autonomous execution, and people management, matter more than industry background.

Benefits:

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) with matching eligibility

• Flexible PTO policy

• Mobile phone stipend

• East Austin location close to restaurants and events
