Plan - Build - Track - Analyze - Optimize
Digital Marketing Account Managers (DMAMs) at EC are strategic problem-solvers, organized account leaders, and trusted client partners. They are explorers, collaborators, and data-driven executors.
Our DMAMs directly plan, work collaboratively to execute, and refine full-funnel digital strategies for our clients in the better-building sector (HVAC, home performance, and solar). This role requires a well-rounded digital marketing skill set, a strong analytical mindset, and a proactive approach to testing new tactics.

Our Commitment to Inclusivity
Energy Circle is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and we strive to assemble a team of thoughtful, talented, and diverse employees who are invested in issues directly related to our mission, including environmental justice. We believe the more people with different backgrounds, cultures, perspectives, and experiences, the more successful our company will be, and we are always on the lookout for volunteer opportunities that support our mission in the surrounding community.
How We Work With AI
We embrace the power of AI in the same way we approach building performance: as a discipline, not a gadget. The same principles that guide how we help buildings do more with less guide how we use these tools.
- Measure. As a company built on measurement and working on our B Corp recertification, we hold our own AI use to the same standard. We are striving to account for its real resource footprint — energy, water, carbon.
- Sufficiency Discipline. We ask whether a task actually warrants AI, or whether a simpler, lighter-weight approach would do the job just as well. Not every problem needs a large model.
- Efficiency Choices. When AI is the right tool, we choose to reach the outcome with the least impact.
The Human–AI–Human Model
- Human Start: Strategy and industry expertise come from our team.
- AI Middle: Used for data analysis, brainstorming, and scaling repetitive tasks.
- Human End: Every output is reviewed and refined by an expert before delivery.
Above all, we use AI to add more value to our clients' businesses, not to pad our own margins.
