Do you dream about creating a more sustainable future? At Uplight, we are motivating energy users and providers to accelerate the clean energy ecosystem. Working with over 90 of the world’s leading electric and gas utilities, Uplight provides an end-to-end customer energy experience. Uplight delivers personalized experiences that customers have now come to expect–improving satisfaction, increasing revenue, reducing the cost to serve, and contributing to carbon reduction goals. We are B Corp certified, enabling us to put our values into action by not only making decisions for the benefit of our shareholders, but also for our customers, environment, employees, and community.

What you get to do:
As a Program Manager on the Professional Services team, you will be responsible for planning the projects within your program and managing the execution of those projects. This work includes supporting the development of project delivery plans/scenarios, monitoring and reporting on the program’s status, tracking dependencies, and supporting the facilitation of tradeoffs and prioritization conversations with cross-functional teams. You will also directly project manage the delivery of selected projects within your program

Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women, marginalized genders and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification.

You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
What you will contribute:
- Plan professional services projects e.g. coordinate cross-functional resource reservations, develop project/program scenarios, facilitate tradeoff conversations
- Manage projects and provide support to team members on those projects as needed
- Maintain capacity planning and forecasting for your projects on a rolling 6-12 months basis; refresh as new projects enter the portfolio and incorporate high probability sales deals into forecasts
- Invest in PS-wide strategic initiatives (e.g. defining new processes making the team more effective)
What you bring to Uplight:
- 3 to 5 years of project management and/or program management experience
- Exceptional project, program, and client management skills and ability to handle highly complex, multi-project engagements
- Excellent analytical, technical, and problem-solving skills, tenacity, and fortitude.
- You can weigh several and often conflicting constraints and make rapid decisions in a fast-moving and quickly-growing company
- An ability to develop relationships across the organization in support of efficient delivery of work.
- Patient, communicative, and a team player who is detail-oriented and has outstanding interpersonal skills.
- You are highly organized. With many people doing many things in a fast-moving company, strong organizational skills—both for yourself and for the team—will be required.
- Not be afraid to dig into hard problems and be proactive in tackling those problems
- Ability to handle ambiguity
- Committed to high quality and high-value results
- Be ready, able, and willing to jump onto a call with a partner or customer to help solve problems
Bonus Points:
- Be passionate about energy consumption and making a difference in the world
