Marketing Associate - Entry Level
Location: San Francisco, CA (hybrid)
What is Verse?
Organizations today are under growing pressure to navigate the transition to clean energy — not just to meet sustainability goals, but to manage risk, control costs, and build long-term resilience. Yet the complexity of energy markets and a lack of accessible tools have made it difficult for most companies to take meaningful action. Verse was created to change that.
Our mission is to make the case for clean energy irrefutable. Through our AI-powered platform, Aria, we help organizations plan, procure, and operate clean energy to achieve their financial and sustainability goals. Verse transforms clean energy ambition into action — giving businesses the clarity and confidence to lead in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

We’re looking for a highly motivated, detail-oriented Marketing Associate to join our growing team. This is an entry-level role ideal for someone eager to gain hands-on experience at the intersection of marketing and sales. You’ll split your time between executing traditional business development activities (50%) and supporting integrated marketing campaigns (50%).
If you’re a self-starter who’s passionate about sales, marketing and events — and who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment — we’d love to meet you. *Extra credit if you’re obsessed with using AI to streamline your workflows.

- Support planning and execution of events — including trade shows, field dinners, ball games, and golf outings
- Manage event logistics, vendor coordination, shipping, swag, and on-site support as needed
- Assist with direct mail, email nurtures, and social media content
- Help draft and edit marketing materials, event invites, and campaign copy
- Travel to select events as needed (up to 20%)

- Extremely organized, detail-oriented, and dependable
- Energetic self-starter who takes initiative and learns quickly
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Loves using AI for efficiency
- Team player who’s willing to roll up their sleeves and help wherever needed
- Interest or experience in event planning (coordinating a fundraiser, school event, or team activity counts! Please share examples in your cover letter)
What Will Make You Standout (Preferred Qualifications)
- Familiarity with Hubspot, social media tools, or email marketing platforms is a plus
What makes Verse a great place to work?
- We lead with empathy. Empathy for our teammates and our customers is central to who we are. We lift each other up and strive to embody humility, selflessness, and kindness. We promote an emotionally aware attitude and culture by putting our colleagues and customers first. We respect the prior art and acknowledge those who have come before us. We never assume we know everything: every person has something to teach us.
- We are open, honest, and transparent. Organizational and institutional trust is essential to tackling the world’s most challenging problems. That trust is built on effective communication with our team, our customers, and other stakeholders. We are always receptive to feedback on how we could do better, and we strive to provide constructive recommendations that help others excel.
- We move with balance and precision. Life is a delicate balance between the forces of creation, maintenance, and destruction. We understand that each of these forces must be applied with diligence: When we act, we act carefully and responsibly. Speed, hard work, and perseverance must be accompanied by thoughtfulness and reflection.
- We are pursuing a labor of love. We are passionate about renewable energy technology, and we like to dream big. We are disrupting the largest and most expensive machine humanity has ever built – the electricity system. We believe the greatest impact we can have on the climate crisis is through building elegant solutions and exceptional products that delight our customers.
