Founding Head of Marketing

The posting, as Gridsight wrote it

The energy transition is increasing grid complexity at exactly the moment utilities need to move faster. Gridsight gives utilities a real-time, dynamic understanding of how power flows through the distribution grid. Our Grid Intelligence Platform combines utility data, AI, and physics-based modeling to help utilities connect customers faster, unlock existing capacity, improve network visibility, and manage distributed energy resources at scale.
We recently raised our Series B to accelerate platform development and expansion in the United States.
We operate in a complex enterprise market where technical credibility, customer outcomes, trusted relationships, and a clear point of view matter. We are looking for a Head of Marketing to own and build the marketing function that supports our next stage of growth, with product marketing and account-based growth at its core.

The role
Gridsight is hiring its first marketing leader. As Head of Marketing, you will own and build a product-marketing-led function that helps Gridsight win and expand strategic utility customers, establish market authority, and scale its commercial motion in the United States.
You will work closely with the Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer to shape Gridsight’s go-to-market strategy and translate company and commercial priorities into a focused marketing plan. You will have significant ownership while partnering closely with the founders and leaders across Commercial, Product, Customer, and Engineering.
This is not a high-volume demand-generation role. Gridsight sells large, complex solutions to a concentrated set of utility buyers. Success will come from helping the company build trust, engage the right stakeholders, create internal consensus, progress strategic opportunities, expand customer relationships, and strengthen its market position.
This is also an AI-forward role. We are looking for someone who actively uses AI to improve the speed and quality of research, content development, account intelligence, personalization, and internal workflows – without compromising accuracy, judgment, or technical credibility.
You will own the evolution of the marketing function, including its strategy, operating model, team, and capabilities as Gridsight grows.
The role is based in San Francisco (open to remote with West Coast hours) and reports to the Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer.

• The ability to prioritize competing needs and independently take high-quality work from insight through execution.
• An AI-forward mindset and practical experience using AI to improve research, content creation, account intelligence, personalization, analysis, or marketing operations.
• The judgment to determine where AI creates meaningful leverage and where human expertise, customer context, and careful review remain essential.
• Demonstrated experience building, leading, and developing high-performing teams and managing external partners.
• Strong judgment, low ego, and the ability to work directly with founders, commercial leaders, customers, and technical teams.

Experience in energy, utilities, grid technology, climate technology, infrastructure software, or another complex enterprise category is valuable, but not essential.
