About us
The world is electrifying. As we plug in more devices and services, we need new ways to connect to power.
The traditional, one-size-fits-all utility approach, with complicated bills and frustrating customer service, no longer works. At Light, we make it easy to get affordable, renewable electricity by embedding power with the products that consumers already use, from the companies they love.
Light's mission is to power a sustainable and abundant energy future for everyone. We do it by making any company able to sell electricity. With Light's utility-as-API platform, companies from automakers and solar providers to real estate and beyond can offer their own, integrated electricity plans.
Imagine purchasing an electric vehicle that includes unlimited home charging, or solar panels that come bundled with any excess energy you might need from the grid. We're building the flexible future where clean energy shows up wherever customers already are.
We're a Series A company based in Austin, TX. We've found meaningful traction and are now investing aggressively in growth. Join us in building the digital energy infrastructure for the next century of power.
The role
You'll work directly alongside the founders and leadership team to build a new growth engine for Light: channel partnerships.
As Light expands across industries– from energy and electrification to mobility, real estate, and beyond– we increasingly see opportunities to grow not just one partner at a time, but through the companies and platforms that influence entire ecosystems. That could mean a hardware OEM, software platform, distributor, financier, industry association, marketplace, or another company we haven't identified yet.
Your job is to figure out where those points of leverage exist and turn them into growth.
You'll identify the relationships that can materially accelerate Light, determine the right partnership model, and take them from idea through execution. Depending on the opportunity, that could mean a referral or affiliate program, integration or co-selling motion, sponsorship, licensing relationship, reseller program, strategic alliance, or something entirely new.
This is a highly entrepreneurial role at the intersection of strategy, business development, and ecosystem building. You'll have significant freedom to decide where Light should invest and where we shouldn't.
In your first six months, you will:
Map and prioritize our highest-leverage channel opportunities across the industries we serve, identifying the companies and relationships that materially accelerate partner acquisition and growth.
Design the right commercial model for each relationship, whether referrals, affiliates, sponsorships, integrations, co-selling, licensing, reseller programs, strategic alliances, and other channel structures.
Source, structure, negotiate, and close partnerships, from initial hypothesis through execution.
Build repeatable channel programs, turning one-off relationships into a scalable growth engine.
Develop influence across new ecosystems, building relationships with the companies and people that shape how their industries operate.
Partner closely with Sales, Product, and Partner Success, bringing market insight back into Light and translating external opportunities into programs we can execute.
You would describe yourself as:
Channel-fluent. You’ve built different programs and know which model fits each opportunity.
Commercially creative. You design partnerships that work for both sides and get them closed.
Strategic and discerning. You find leverage, prioritize ruthlessly, and know when to say no.
Entrepreneurial. You thrive in ambiguity and build relationships and programs from scratch.
Outcome-oriented. You measure success by business impact, not activity.
