About Base

Base is building the foundation of American power. The grid is the largest, most complex machine in the world. Yet it’s aging, struggling to keep up with today’s demand, and is unprepared for our electrified future.

Base is modernizing the grid as the first engineering-led, technology-driven power company. We’re deploying a nationwide network of distributed batteries that strengthens critical infrastructure and saves Americans money.

Our team of engineers, operators, creatives, technicians, and electricians design and deploy systems at speed. If you want to tackle the problem that will define this century and shape the future of American energy, now is the time. Join us.

About the Role

As our leader of New Geographies, you’ll build and run “the machine” that launches Base Power in new markets across the U.S., and eventually, the world.

You will be responsible for designing and executing the processes that bring Base to life in new regions—spanning growth, deployments, policy, and operations. This role is both strategic and hands-on: some days you’ll be in the field solving problems directly, other days you’ll be orchestrating a team to make the launch happen.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves with urgency, and can flex between being a coach and a player. If you like building from zero, owning outcomes, and doing whatever it takes to get to launch, we want to talk to you.

What You'll Do

• Launch new markets: Own the full process of bringing Base Power to new cities and states—from planning to execution.

• Policy enablement: Architect and execute local policy and permitting strategies; lead lobbying or implementation efforts as needed.

• Operational setup: Oversee physical infrastructure setup (real estate selection, facilities, equipment), local hiring, and operations stand-up.

• Growth planning: Develop and execute customer acquisition and local marketing strategies tailored to each new market.

• Launch project management: Create detailed launch plans, schedules, and cross-functional coordination processes.

• Continuous improvement: Track, monitor, and optimize time-to-launch and cost-to-launch metrics.

What You'll Bring

• Operational acumen: Proven experience taking operationally complex initiatives from 0 to 1.

• Project leadership: Strong organizational skills, clear communication, and experience managing and leading cross-functional teams.

• Self-starter mentality: Ability to set strategy, build the plan, and execute with minimal direction in a fast-moving environment.

• Adaptability: Comfort wearing multiple hats—from project manager to on-the-ground operator—and shifting quickly as priorities evolve.

Our Values

We’re building a winning culture and we’re looking for people who are up for the challenge. Here’s what we expect from day one:

• In-Person Only: We work full-time in the office. No hybrid. No remote.

• Challenge the Status Quo: Question assumptions. Fix broken systems. Principles > rules.

• Move Fast: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing.

• Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble. Challenge ideas–including your own.

• Own the Outcome: Take full responsibility. Deliver results. No excuses.

• Act Like an Owner: Be resourceful, mindful of impact, and committed to the business.

• Be Decisive: Drive clarity. Make bold calls with imperfect info.

• Bring the Intensity: This is not a 9-to-5. We're building something hard which requires real commitment.
