Our technology solutions tackle the interconnection queue backlog by significantly reducing processing times. Whether cutting transmission interconnection timelines from years to months or enabling distribution applications to be processed within a day, we help accelerate energy projects at every scale.\nOur Vision\nEnergizing the planet with a faster, smarter, and more sustainable grid.\nWhat You’ll Do\nAs Talent Acquisition Specialist, you will be GridUnity’s sourcing engine: finding top talent, getting them genuinely interested, and keeping every search moving. Once a role is approved, you’ll run it from intake through the offer stage. You’ll work directly with the Director of People, who owns hiring strategy and supports you on leveling, offers, and tough calls.\nThis is a hands-on role for someone who loves the hunt and is just as organized as they are persistent. Beyond recruiting, you may get exposure to the broader People function and have the chance to take on projects across HR.\nAs GridUnity scales, there is a real opportunity to grow with the company.\nPrimary Responsibilities\nRecruiting\nSource and engage top candidates, including passive candidates, across technical and non-technical roles using multiple channels.\n\nBuild and maintain talent pipelines for current and upcoming openings rather than relying on inbound applicants alone.\n\nCraft personalized, persistent outreach that represents GridUnity’s mission and earns responses.\n\nOnce a requisition is approved, meet with the hiring manager to align on the role, interview plan, and timeline.\n\nConduct phone screens and share clear, honest written summaries of each candidate.\n\nOwn scheduling and interview coordination, keeping candidates and interviewers informed and every search moving.\n\nOwn the offer stage: extend offers, handle negotiation within the approved compensation range, and keep candidates engaged through acceptance.\n\nEscalate questions about leveling, offers outside the approved range, borderline candidates, or hiring manager expectations to the Director of People.\n\nPeople Team Projects\nSupport HR projects beyond recruiting, such as onboarding and orientation, process documentation, and maintaining an accurate job description library.\n\nShare market feedback from the field, such as candidate response rates, compensation signals, and timeline realities, so the People team can adjust.\n\nRecruiting Operations\nKeep Ashby accurate and current, including candidate stages, notes, and requisition status.\n\nFollow and help improve documented recruiting processes and templates.\n\nMaintain regular pipeline reporting, including open roles, candidates by stage, sources, and time-to-fill.\n\nEmployer Brand\nSupport GridUnity’s employer brand through outreach, job postings, and candidate touchpoints.\n\nHelp identify talent communities and networks worth engaging, particularly for technical disciplines.\n\nWhat Great Looks Like\nYou will thrive in this role if you:\nHave 3-5 years of recruiting experience, with experience in the energy industry, SaaS, or ideally both.\n\nLove sourcing, and are relentless and creative about finding and winning over candidates who aren’t looking.\n\nHave experience recruiting technical talent and are comfortable learning the details of unfamiliar roles.\n\nAre highly organized and can juggle multiple searches while keeping every candidate and interviewer informed.\n\nHave strong follow-through, a sense of urgency, and a bias toward action.\n\nCommunicate clearly and candidly, and raise concerns early rather than letting them sit.\n\nCare deeply about the experience of both candidates and hiring managers, and understand that every interaction shapes GridUnity’s reputation.\n\nAre comfortable in a fast-moving environment where priorities change and processes are still taking shape.\n\nEnjoy researching unfamiliar disciplines, testing different sourcing approaches, and persisting when initial efforts do not produce qualified candidates.\n\nWhat Will Set You Apart\nExperience in energy, utilities, climate technology, or another complex technical industry.\n\nExperience recruiting engineering, product, data, AI, or other highly technical roles.\n\nDeep experience with proactive sourcing and passive candidate outreach.\n\nHands-on experience with Ashby or another modern ATS.\n\nCuriosity about the broader HR function and interest in taking on projects beyond recruiting.\n\nPrior exposure to HR areas such as onboarding, employee programs, or HR operations.\n\nOUR CULTURE\nWe are a lean, fast-moving team that values bold thinking, reliability, and continuous learning. We operate with radical transparency, embrace scrappiness, and build solutions that anticipate customer needs. We also believe work should be fun and fulfilling - what we call “funfillment.”\nThe right candidate is energized by working in a scaling, mission-driven company where they can shape processes, wear multiple hats, and grow alongside the business.\nBENEFITS/PERKS\nCompetitive compensation packages that recognize your expertise and contributions\n\nRemote-first culture that provides flexibility and balance\n\nProfessional development opportunities, including training, mentorship, and career pathing\n\nComprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance starting day one\n\nShort- and long-term disability and basic life insurance at no cost to you\n\n401(k) plan with a 4% match to help secure your future\n\nFlexible PTO and a supportive work culture that values balance\n\nMission-driven work with the opportunity to make a significant impact in the energy sector\n\nELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENT\nThis position may involve access to data and systems subject to U.S. critical infrastructure protection regulations. Accordingly, this role is restricted to individuals who qualify as “U.S. persons,” defined by federal law as U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents (green card holders), asylees, or refugees.\nOUR COMMITMENT TO APPLICANTS\nGridUnity is an equal opportunity employer.
