Summary Generated by Built In

Imagine having the power to stress-test an entire power grid against a hurricane or thunderstorm before the clouds even gather. That is the reality we are creating at Neara.

We use advanced machine learning to create engineering-grade, physics enabled digital twins of electricity grids across four continents, this helps asset owners understand their biggest challenges and bring the most viable solutions to life across millions of kilometres of infrastructure.

By simulating extreme weather and structural stress at a network-wide scale, we empower the world’s largest utilities to pinpoint risks, optimise investments and build a more resilient global energy future.

Our team is a collection of brilliant minds who are fanatical about making a tangible difference in the real world, utilising AI and machine learning to accelerate everything from data classification to complex scenario analysis. We have built a special culture where innovation thrives because everyone owns the mission and we need smart, creative people to help us scale this impact to every corner of the globe.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a world-class storyteller to shape how one of the most existential industries on earth internalizes change. You will take an industry-transforming product and package the story powerfully and credibly in the context of seismic shifts across the global energy supply chain, regulation, and technology. You will interpret why these shifts matter and will translate them into stories that shape how asset owners, government, and media think about modern infrastructure. Your work will strengthen category conviction and customer relationships, create urgency in live deals, and keep our brand top of mind in the moments that matter most.

ABOUT YOU

  • You’re a top-tier writer with a strong track record of turning complex issues into clear, urgent, and memorable stories for executive audiences.

  • You’re highly analytical with the industry depth and creative instinct to anticipate what no one’s talking about yet but should be.

  • You have existing domain expertise in energy, ideally having spent time either in public affairs or covering the space as a journalist.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

  • Detect and interpret industry inflection points by synthesizing policy developments, social pressures, and emerging assumptions and then translating what changed, why it matters to our market, where Neara fits in, and how executive thinking should adjust.

  • Operationalize industry insight cross-functionally and own the program to embed intelligence into Sales, Product, and beyond through executive briefings, internal guidance, and strategic framing.

  • Shape narrative and own editorial calendar, partnering closely with Product Marketing to ensure industry themes reinforce category leadership, are backed by coordinated product-level substance, and inform positioning.

  • Independently produce thought-provoking executive editorial in a variety of formats that are evidence-led, implication-focused, and naturally aligned to product strengths without promotional tone.

  • Shape revenue conversations by equipping customer-facing teams with forwardable perspectives and executive-level language that strengthens credibility and influences how strategic deals take shape and progress.

  • Safeguard Neara’s point of view by stress-testing positioning against real market sentiment, challenging internal assumptions, and ensuring our story is credible, earned, and externally resonant.

  • Rally cross-functional teams around shared narrative frameworks through storytelling excellence, strategic influence, and collaborative leadership.

WHO YOU ARE

  • 8+ years of experience in comms or editorial at a technology company in a regulated industry or as a journalist with energy or infrastructure domain expertise.

  • An exceptional writer and editor who can craft compelling, authoritative narratives that engage senior business leaders and technical decision-makers.

  • Know how to find the story, sharpen the argument, and say something that actually matters and shapes perception without being sales-y.

  • You can translate complex, technical subject matter (think rate cases, proposed bills, technical papers, etc.) into language that is clear, credible, and genuinely useful to a business audience.

  • Deep curiosity about the infrastructure and energy transition landscape, with the judgment to identify emerging issues before they become mainstream talking points.

  • Strong relationships with relevant journalists are a plus in addition to comfort engaging with reporters as a trusted source, shaping storylines, and helping position Neara in industry conversations.

WHAT WE ARE OFFERING YOU

  • Competitive salary + ESOP.

  • Significant career development and growth opportunities.

  • Highly meritocratic, non-bureaucratic, and low ego work culture.

  • The opportunity to work on complex, meaningful products and real-world problems.

  • The opportunity to play a direct, critical role in the trajectory of a high-growth company.
