Manager Solutions Industrielles (H/F)

Job Description

Uplight is creating a new category of energy. We build software that manages energy resources in homes and businesses-including things like smart thermostats, electric vehicles, solar panels, storage batteries, heat pumps, and even people's behavior-to generate, shift, or save energy to balance the grid, making it more efficient and reliable. This creates clean energy capacity that can be used by the power grid instead of burning more fossil fuels. Our solutions accelerate the transition to clean energy and save money for energy customers.

We are looking for a Manager of Industry Solutions to drive our company forward, and help us lead the clean energy revolution!
