About the role
About Base Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time. About the Role We’re looking for a highly motivated, community-savvy Houston Field Event Lead to build Base Power’s presence across the Houston area. This person will be the face of our brand out in the field—cultivating local relationships, opening new doors, and creating memorable in-person experiences that excite Texas homeowners about our products. If you love meeting people, thrive in dynamic environments, and get energy from rolling up your sleeves to make things happen, this role is for you. This role will report remotely to our sales and marketing teams and will require regular in-field and local travel. What You'll Do Build Base Power’s presence across the Houston area by leading field sales and marketing efforts. Develop relationships with local leaders, businesses, and community organizations. Plan and run in-person events—owning logistics, setup, and homeowner engagement from start to finish. Represent Base in the field, serve as a trusted Base presence helping Texans understand how our service works and why it matters. Collaborate with sales, marketing, and customer success teams to align messaging and drive member sign-ups. What You'll Bring 1–5+ years of experience in sales, field marketing, events, retail, or community outreach. A proven track record in roles that combine relationship-building, direct sales, and execution. Strong communication skills—you’re confident talking with homeowners and explaining technical ideas in clear, simple terms. Operational follow-through—you can plan, schedule, and run multiple events without missing a detail. Creative thinking—you bring ideas for how Base can show up in the community and make a lasting impression. Must be based in the Houston area and comfortable traveling throughout the region regularly (this is a field-heavy role). Willingness to work some evenings and weekends for events and outreach. Ability to transport materials and perform physical tasks such as loading, unloading, and setting up event equipment. Preferred Skills Strong, expanding network of strategic community partners. High-quality event presence that feels polished, intentional, and on-brand. Steady pipeline of engaged homeowners generated through field activities. Please note: Base is a startup, which means priorities shift and evolve quickly. Your role may expand or change based on the needs of the business at any given time, so the responsibilities listed may not be exhaustive. Our Values First Principles Thinking: Question assumptions. Principles > rules. Operate at Base Pace: Focus on what matters, act quickly, and learn by doing. Give & Get Feedback: Be direct, be humble, and maintain a growth mindset. Everyone’s an Owner: Follow through on commitments and own results. Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: Drive clarity and make calls with imperfect information. Committed to the Mission: Rebuilding the grid is a big challenge. We work hard because we care deeply about the impact we’re creating. We work in-person. It’s not a 9-to-5. We are all-in. Fun & Optimism Coexist with Grit: Collaboration and celebration coincide with the intensity of building real things. Do the best work of your life at Base.
