About Us

The world is electrifying. As we plug in more devices and services, we need new ways to connect to power. The traditional, one‑size‑fits‑all utility approach—with complicated bills and frustrating customer service—no longer works. At Light, we make it easy to get affordable, renewable electricity by embedding power with the products that consumers already use, from the companies they love. Light’s mission is to power a sustainable and abundant energy future for everyone.

With Light's utility‑as‑API platform, companies from automakers and solar providers to real estate and beyond can offer their own, integrated electricity plans. Imagine purchasing an electric vehicle that includes unlimited home charging, or solar panels that come bundled with any excess energy you might need from the grid. At Light, we're creating a flexible future where any company can offer their own branded electricity plans and make clean energy convenient for their customers.

Join us in building the digital energy infrastructure for a dynamic, sustainable future.

Your mission is to help Light scale from an early sales motion into a world‑class revenue organization. You'll work directly alongside the founders and early team to build Light's sales organization. You'll recruit and develop exceptional talent, establish the operating rigor required for scale, and help win some of the company's most important opportunities. Beyond managing a team, you'll shape how Light grows – working closely with Product, Partner Success, and the founders to uncover opportunities, refine our strategy, and drive repeatable growth.

This is an opportunity to join as a player‑coach at an inflection point: a sizable customer‑base and revenue trajectory yet early enough that the team you build, the systems you create, and the decisions you make will meaningfully influence the future of the company.
