The role
NRG is building a unified value proposition that spans energy, smart home, and digital services — connecting what customers experience across Reliant, Vivint, and the NRG brand. The Sr. Director Marketing of IVP owns the framework that makes this coherent: the messaging architecture, the cross-brand proof points, and the go-to-market alignment that turns a portfolio into a platform. This is not a supporting role. You'll be the connective tissue between brand, product, and commercial — operating at the intersection of strategy and execution, with full accountability to the SVP.
What you'll own
- IVP framework & messaging architecture — Define, maintain, and evolve the integrated value proposition across NRG, Reliant, and Vivint — ensuring brand-level messaging ladders to a cohesive portfolio narrative.
- Cross-functional marketing program leadership — Drive alignment across marketing, product, digital, and commercial teams. Manage stakeholders at the VP and SVP level without direct authority over their functions.
- GTM strategy & activation — Translate IVP into channel-ready playbooks — from paid media and CTV to owned channels and salesforce enablement — with clear KPIs tied to CAC, LTV, and ROAS.
- Insight & performance loop — Build a feedback system that connects customer research, competitive signals, and performance data into ongoing IVP refinement. No set-it-and-forget-it frameworks.
What we're looking for
- Portfolio experience — Has worked across multiple brands or business units — understands how to create coherence without homogenization.
- Strategic + executional — Can write a positioning brief and drive it through to in-market execution. Doesn't hand off at the deck stage.
- Commercial fluency — Comfortable with ROAS, CAC:LTV, and TOU economics. Speaks credibly in business reviews, not just brand reviews.
- Matrixed influence — Knows how to move work through organizations without direct authority. Low ego, high effectiveness.
- Energy or home services — Background in energy, utilities, smart home, or adjacent industries is a strong plus — not required, but you'll ramp faster.
- AI-literate — Actively uses AI tools in your workflow — for research, synthesis, or content velocity. We build with it here.
What success looks like in year one
- Q1 — IVP marketing framework documented, socialized, and signed off by brand, product, and
- commercial leadership across all three brands.
- Q2 — GTM playbooks live in at least two channels, with baseline KPI measurement in place.
- Q3 — First iteration of IVP refreshed based on performance data and customer research —
- demonstrating the insight loop is operational.
- Q4 — Demonstrable lift in brand consideration or customer acquisition efficiency tied to
- IVP-aligned messaging.
