Greentown Labs, the largest climatetech startup incubator in North America, recently expanded to Houston, Texas—the energy transition capital of the world. This is Greentown’s first expansion outside of Massachusetts. Greentown Houston opened its doors in the innovation district on April 22, 2021 with the support of 27 Founding Partners, and proudly welcomed 30 inaugural startup members to its community.
Greentown Houston aims to serve as an on-the-ground catalyst for the energy transition in Houston. It will be a convener for the community working on the energy transition— startups, investors, corporate partners, students and other stakeholders—and work to bring in those who have yet to engage. To support these activities and amplify the incubator’s vision for climate action, Greentown Houston is hiring a collaborative and mission-oriented Marketing and Events Senior Manager to lead the day-to-day marketing efforts and ecosystem events for its Houston location. The Greentown team operates on a “no task is too small” mindset which means the Senior Manager must be willing to dive in and roll up their sleeves to tackle any task at hand. And equally important, in this dynamic role the right candidate will also be expected to think strategically and offer recommendations to elevate Greentown—and its community’s—brand across the Houston ecosystem.
The Senior Manager of Marketing and Events - Houston will report directly to the Vice President of Marketing and Communications and work closely with the Head of Greentown Houston. To be successful in this highly collaborative role, this person will work seamlessly with the entire Greentown team (across locations), Houston community members, and Houston partners.
