Hi, we are ecobee.

ecobee introduced the world’s first smart Wi-Fi thermostat to help millions of consumers save money, conserve energy, and bring home automation into their lives. That was just the beginning. We continue our pursuit to create technology that brings peace of mind into the home and allows people to focus on the moments that matter most. We take pride in making a meaningful difference to the environment, all while being part of the exciting, connected home revolution.

In 2021, ecobee became a subsidiary of Generac Power Systems. Generac introduced the first affordable backup generator and later created the category of automatic home standby generator.

Together, we take pride in making a meaningful difference to the environment.

• Guide and mentor internal teams

What You’llBring to the Table:

• 5+ years of business operations, corporate strategy, or management consulting experience

• Strong business analytics and financial acumen (e.g., business modelling, statistical regression, operating levers, ROI, NPV, capital optimization)

• Industry expertise in clean-tech, high-tech, consumer electronics, energy services and/or SAAS subscription-based sectors
