Job description

Marketing Associate - Energy & Utilities

Remote - United States | Full-Time | 3-5 Years Experience

The Role

CI Group is looking for a Marketing Associate with approximately 3 to 5 years of professional experience to support marketing initiatives for both CI Group and our clients.

We're looking for more than a strong marketing executor.

The right person is an excellent writer, strategic thinker, curious researcher, and resourceful problem-solver who is comfortable being handed an objective without always being given a step-by-step process for getting there.

We want someone whose instinct is:

"How can I figure this out?"

You’ll work across content, digital marketing, thought leadership, proposals, research, campaigns, events, client initiatives, and emerging technology.

Experience in the electric utility, power and energy, engineering/AEC, infrastructure, or energy technology sectors is strongly preferred.

What You’ll Do

• Create compelling B2B content including LinkedIn thought leadership, articles, email campaigns, case studies, presentations, website copy, newsletters, and client communications.
• Support and execute marketing initiatives across digital, email, social media, events, websites, CRM, marketing automation, and other channels.
• Research markets, utilities, competitors, prospective clients, technologies, and industry trends and turn that information into useful insights and recommendations.
• Support proposals and business development, including RFQs, RFPs, qualification packages, presentations, project descriptions, and reusable marketing content.
• Manage multiple client and internal projects from concept through execution, including priorities, deadlines, stakeholders, and deliverables.
• Use AI-powered tools strategically to improve the quality, speed, and effectiveness of research, content creation, workflow automation, project management, audio and video production, data analysis, and other business applications.

AI Fluency Matters Here

AI is already embedded in how CI Group works.

We are looking for someone who is fluent in AI-powered tools and platforms spanning content creation, research, workflow automation, project management, audio and video production, data analysis, and other business applications.

More importantly, we want someone who understands how to use AI well.

That means knowing how to structure a problem, provide the right context, iterate on outputs, evaluate accuracy, recognize weak or generic results, conduct additional research when needed, and turn AI-assisted work into something that is genuinely useful.

We don't expect you to know every platform. We do expect you to be curious about what is possible, willing to experiment, and continually looking for smarter ways to work.

AI should accelerate good thinking, not replace it.

What We’re Looking For

• Approximately 3 to 5 years of professional marketing experience, preferably in B2B, professional services, engineering, energy, technology, or another complex industry.
• Exceptional writing, editing, and communication skills with the ability to make technical or complex ideas clear and compelling.
• A strategic and analytical mindset with demonstrated ability to research unfamiliar topics, work through ambiguity, and develop a thoughtful path forward.
• Strong fluency with AI-powered business tools and the ability to use emerging technology effectively across different types of work.
• Excellent project management, organization, and attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• A high degree of ownership, judgment, curiosity, and resourcefulness.
• Comfortable working independently while collaborating closely with a remote team.
• Ability to communicate professionally with executives, clients, engineers, technical experts, and other industry stakeholders.

Industry Experience

Experience within the utility and energy ecosystem is strongly preferred, including experience with organizations such as:

• Electric utilities
• Engineering and AEC firms
• Energy technology or grid modernization companies
• Utility vendors, manufacturers, or contractors
• Consulting or professional services firms serving the energy industry

Candidates do not need to be engineers or technical experts.

They do need to be interested in learning technical subject matter and becoming comfortable communicating with people who are.

Additional Experience We’d Love to See

Experience with some combination of:

• Executive thought leadership and LinkedIn content
• HubSpot or other CRM and marketing automation platforms
• Proposal, RFQ, or RFP development
• Professional services or AEC marketing
• Canva, Adobe, or similar creative tools
• PowerPoint and presentation development
• Website CMS platforms
• Conferences, events, and trade shows
• Marketing analytics and reporting
• AI-enabled workflows and automation

You don't need to check every box. We care more about your ability to learn quickly, think strategically, and produce excellent work.

How We Work

CI Group operates differently from a traditional corporate marketing department.

Our team is small, collaborative, entrepreneurial, and highly accountable. You may be working with an engineering firm one day and an emerging grid technology company the next.

There won't always be a playbook.

We value people who can understand the objective, gather the information they need, use the tools available to them, develop options, and bring forward a recommendation.

"Figure it out" is part of our culture, but so is collaboration.

We don't expect people to work without support. We expect them to be resourceful enough to move things forward.
