Senior Manager, Communications; Remote

Who We Are

Renew Home is on a mission to change how we power the world by making it easier for customers to save energy and money at home as part of the largest residential virtual power plant in North America.

We partner with industry-leading brands to better manage residential energy for users by prioritizing efficiency, savings, and comfort — and cleaner energy for everyone.

We are an Equal Opportunity employer striving to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment where everyone feels that they have a voice that is heard.

The Senior Manager, Communications is a high-impact role responsible for building Renew Home's external voice. You'll own every external-facing channel — partner announcements, press releases, media events, podcasts, executive interviews, and social media — and bring media relationships to the table.

The ideal candidate has real working relationships across energy-industry trade press and tier-1 financial/business outlets. And someone who has helped navigate an early-stage or high-growth company through major milestones and knows firsthand how to build the external narrative and land the moment cleanly.

You'll also serve as a strategic communications partner to our executive leadership team: proactively soliciting ELT perspectives, ambitiously seeking feedback, surfacing alignment and tension, and translating leadership input into a clear, cohesive strategy. You'll drive and execute that strategy while keeping stakeholders informed and able to weigh in at important junctures. Success requires building conviction around a point of view, integrating diverse perspectives without diluting the strategy, threading nuanced messages across audiences, and bringing leaders along so we show up externally with a consistent, compelling voice.

Just as important, we're looking for a communicator who leads with opportunity rather than caution — energized by ambitious storytelling and instinctive about finding the angle in every story. Our environment involves shifting priorities and approval timelines that don't always move quickly; we need someone who stays constructive and adaptable, treating a delay or changed plan as a chance to find a new approach.

This is a role for a self-starter comfortable driving visibility and advocating for ambitious external opportunities.

• Serve as the primary driver of press coverage across energy trade media and tier-1 financial/business outlets (WSJ, Bloomberg, FT, Reuters, CNBC, and the leading energy trades).
• Bring existing relationships and keep them warm—this is a relationship-first role.

• Plan and execute all partner announcements and press releases, from first draft through coverage and corrections.
• Build and run an executive communications program for the CEO and other executive voices—securing interviews, speaking slots, and podcast appearances, and coaching leadership to perform well in them.
• Consolidate key talking points and presentation outlines for all executive external appearances. Define lanes for company voices and track and secure opportunities to build company visibility and strategic messaging weighted toward priority messaging.
• Identify and develop additional company spokespeople, shape their narratives, and pursue thought leadership opportunities that build leadership and brand momentum.

• Identify and pursue the platforms—hosted, guested, or partnered podcasts and events that build Renew Home's authority in the energy and smart home space.
• Own strategy for the company's external social channels, ensuring consistency with the broader narrative.

• Lead communications strategy for significant company milestones and growth moments working closely with executive leadership for alignment and feedback to build the external narrative ahead of it.
• Closely align with company leadership on upcoming milestones to determine how and when to go big publicly.
