Vice President Research Jobs in Bothell, WA (NOW HIRING)

LevelTen Energy is on a mission to accelerate the energy transition. We run the world's largest clean energy marketplace, connecting buyers and sellers, and enabling them to get deals done faster with cutting-edge market intelligence reports and software, and transaction tools. Since being founded in 2016, LevelTen's platform has facilitated over $14.8 billion in clean energy transactions.  

Join us on a mission that matters.

LevelTen Energy is hiring a Vice President of Marketing to lead the company through its next phase of growth. This is a role for a versatile leader with significant global leadership experience — someone who spans brand, product marketing, demand generation and communications, who has built and motivated high-performing distributed teams, and who is as comfortable setting strategy as executing it. You'll join a smart, global team working on meaningful solutions to the climate crisis, and we have a good time doing it.

As Vice President of Marketing, you'll lead a global team through LevelTen's most ambitious phase yet: doubling revenue year over year while reinforcing the company's position as the definitive voice in clean energy procurement. You'll own the full marketing and communications function — brand, demand generation, product marketing, PR and executive communications — and you'll build the team, systems and market narrative to support that growth. Key responsibilities include:

• Brand Strategy: You'll build an updated narrative about our market position — who we serve, the problems we solve, how we do it, and why it matters — and then translate it into messaging, visual identity and standards the whole company can use. You'll work directly with the executive team to shape this story and bring it to market across owned, earned and paid channels.
• Team Leadership: Lead and grow a global marketing team distributed across North America and Europe, along with a six-figure budget and the agency and consultant relationships behind it. You'll coach and develop the people on this team, shape how the function is organized as we scale, and build the kind of morale that holds up under rapid growth. You'll keep the team oriented toward commercial outcomes — every program tied to pipeline, revenue or market position — and you'll set the tone for how we work: self-belief, professionalism, a bias for action, and a practice of instigating progress rather than waiting for it.
• Product Marketing: You'll oversee the launch and scale of new products, establish account-based marketing programs, and sharpen segmentation and positioning across a technical buyer base. Existing knowledge of clean energy markets in North America and Europe is required, with a working knowledge of power purchase agreements, RECs/GOs and similar energy products a strong plus.
• Demand Generation, Marketing Operations and Analytics:  Support ongoing demand generation in close partnership with the VP of Sales, and expand the measurement infrastructure behind LevelTen's growth. Working with external consultants, you'll lead your team to establish attribution, reporting and marketing ROI analysis, along with the systems that turn funnel data into actionable insight about our customers. 
• Executive Communications: Establish and own the executive communications program for both external and internal audiences. You'll develop LevelTen's corporate positions on emerging and sensitive industry issues, lead the narrative behind white papers and investor communications, and prepare our executives to deliver it — in the boardroom, on stage and in the press.
• Public Relations: Lead LevelTen's media relations program across North America and Europe. Internal and external teams support execution, but you'll stay hands-on — sometimes working directly with reporters on brand, customer and product storytelling, managing proactive and reactive news cycles, and occasionally serving as a public face of the company. You'll also prepare and brief our spokespeople for high-tier engagements.  
• Events and Social: Shape the future of LevelTen's events program, with an emphasis on securing high-impact speaking opportunities and measuring the ROI of industry conference participation. You'll also ensure we have an organic social media strategy and the policy behind it.
• Content and Editorial: Provide strategic direction and editorial oversight to our director of content, who owns LevelTen's content program. You'll set the editorial standard, shape the market point of view behind our flagship research, and make sure our content serves both category leadership and pipeline. Final editorial judgment on our most visible work rests with you.
• Website: Own the website. A phased refresh is already underway, and you'll drive it across the finish line — then keep going, aligning the site with our evolving brand narrative, refreshing visuals, and optimizing for how buyers search today, including AI-driven and generative search. You'll own conversion performance, information architecture, and the launch cycle that keeps the site current as new products ship.

Qualifications

• At least 15 years in marketing and communications.
• 5 years of experience leading, coaching, and developing high-performing marketing teams in a global environment.
• Business acumen that connects marketing decisions to pipeline, pricing and growth targets.
• Impeccable writing skills, with the ability to calibrate content depth, voice, and tone across diverse platforms, ensuring every message resonates with its intended audience.
• Strong verbal communication skills that allow you to deliver clear and compelling information to internal and external stakeholders. 
• Adeptness at building relationships, forging consensus across opposing viewpoints, and navigating executive-level engagement.
• Excellent project management capabilities and a keen sense of judgment on how to balance competing priorities. 
• Systems thinking that drives you to design processes that streamline workflows and achieve long-term efficiency. 
• Experience managing budgets, vendors, and reporting on ROI/KPIs.
• Experience working successfully with international teams and navigating cultural differences.

  • Experience with and/or strong understanding of clean energy, renewables and/or the energy transition; and 
  • Experience working successfully with international teams and navigating cultural differences.

• The estimated compensation for this position is $180,000-200,000 per year, based on experience and qualifications. In addition, this position is eligible for an annual bonus and an equity grant.
