Job Description

Are you a rockstar utility professional with a track record of taking on challenges and creating meaningful change? Are you looking to join a high-energy, mission-driven company?

The E Source Data Science business unit is looking for a Director, Sales Innovation with an entrepreneurial spirit who finds great satisfaction in building something from the ground up.
