Chief of Staff

About Us

The way we heat/cool our homes, power our vehicles, and cook our meals is antiquated: we take for granted that we use fossil fuels in homes to keep them comfortable and healthy.  There is a better way.

Elephant Energy is a venture-funded business, building a next generation home comfort & electrification platform that helps homeowners get clean, safe, and affordable technologies for their homes and vehicles.  We are growing quickly, supported by the ever increasing demand from customers for more comfortable homes.  This is an exciting opportunity to join at the ground floor and shape how we sell and deploy home comfort and home electrification.

The Chief of Staff role is meant to be a super fun, dynamic role where you’ll be wearing many hats as the right hand to the executive team.  From day one, you will have an immediate impact on our productivity, streamlining strategic initiatives, integrating work streams across teams, and leading special projects. The ideal candidate will have proven experience in a business management role, with an aptitude for getting things done, working creatively to solve problems, and communicating effectively across teams. This is meant as a 1-2 year position during which you become intimately familiar with Elephant Energy - and then move into a senior role within the company helping run one of our teams.

• Improve current processes and coordinate playbooks to optimize for efficiency and productivity.
• Hold the team accountable to our values, our vision, and our deadlines.
