A renewable energy revolution is beginning to blossom into the world’s largest industrial transformation since the personal computer. The aging and vulnerable electrical grid is rapidly being supplemented by rooftop solar and rechargeable batteries. That evolution is about to explode as drivers flock to EVs and fuel those cars with electricity from home, spiking demand for sustainable, reliable, and affordable electricity.

Sunrun is in the driver’s seat to lead this energy revolution as America’s leading residential solar and renewable energy provider. The company’s leadership team embraces a fast-paced, entrepreneurial mindset to seize this unique opportunity in history and position Sunrun as an aspirational, beloved technology consumer brand for a faster, cleaner, safer, easier, more efficient home of the future.

Your primary responsibility will be to assist in managing and expanding Sunrun's media relations program in order to increase brand exposure in local and national media. You will also collaborate with marketing team members and other business personnel to develop engagement strategies for customers, media personalities, and internal company employees.

The marketing team primarily works remotely, so this position can be located anywhere within the United States. Some travel may be required for in-person meetings. At Sunrun, we are passionately committed to our mission. We also nurture a collaborative and inclusive culture that welcomes diverse backgrounds and perspectives. The company provides generous compensation and benefits, including medical plans, 401k match, stock purchase plan, maternity and paternity leave, employee discounts, flexible schedules, flexible vacation, and much more.
