Since 2001, we've been making the tools and strategies once reserved for large energy users accessible to all—helping organizations navigate deregulated energy markets, build custom procurement strategies, and drive long-term cost and carbon reductions. We combine strategic advisory services with scalable digital solutions to deliver measurable impact. As we expand our offerings and reach, we’re investing in next-generation marketing leadership to bring our story, solutions, and impact to life—powered by technology and creativity.

In this role, you’ll develop persuasive, professional marketing content, plan events, and leverage media opportunities, to increase Pilot’s reach and brand story with current and prospective customers.

· Develop targeted industry segmentation marketing content, research and write position papers and case studies by customer segment, in order to demonstrate Pilot’s capabilities to serve each industry and interest potential clients.
· Support outbound lead generation activities through collaboration on outside lead generation providers’ performance; and conduct in-house email and telephone marketing campaigns to drive new business leads to Sales (test new campaigns).
· Develop and execute a media strategy and proactive and responsive media mentions, leveraging social, events, podcasts, associations, and other channels.
· Partner with Sales and Business Development and learn our CRM environment to generate and nurture qualified leads through Events and Affiliations and Outbound Marketing.
· Analyze performance data and provide ongoing reporting, insights, and recommendations.
· Stay current with marketing trends and emerging technologies to keep Pilot’s strategy innovative and competitive.
What We’re Looking For
· 2+ years of experience in marketing, growth marketing, or event planning roles.
· Preferred 2+ years of experience in commercial/industrial sales/marketing and/or energy/gas brokering/retail energy background in customer facing roles.
· Ability to develop strategy and execution—from big-picture planning to hands-on implementation.
· Strong experience with sponsorships, events, affiliations, webinars/podcasts, and customer-facing events.
· A passion for energy, sustainability, or emerging technology is a plus.
· Exceptional communication, collaboration, and project management skills.
