Operations Ninja / Project Manager

Position: Operations Ninja / Project Manager

About Us

The way we heat/cool our homes, power our vehicles, and cook our meals is antiquated: we take for granted that we use fossil fuels in homes to keep them comfortable and healthy.  There is a better way.

Elephant Energy is a venture-funded business, building a next generation home comfort & electrification platform that helps homeowners get clean, safe, and affordable technologies for their homes and vehicles.  We are growing quickly, supported by the ever increasing demand from customers for more comfortable homes.  This is an exciting opportunity to join at the ground floor and shape how we deploy home comfort and home electrification.

The Project Manager / Ops Ninja will split their time between managing electrification projects in the field and special ops projects centered around helping us design, develop, implement, and manage scalable systems and processes to meet rapid growth. 

To succeed at Elephant Energy, you must be energetic, organized, and hard working. You have a passion for building projects and making things better.  You will be accountable for the success of internal and external projects.  You embrace a team ethic and are capable of being self-directed to solve challenging problems to ensure a successful customer journey.
