[Hiring] Policy Director @ev

Role Description

As our new Policy Director, you are the architect of ev.energy’s US policy strategy. Your mission is to promote flexible, localized, dynamic load management value and strategies through regulatory and policy channels in order to create opportunities for growth of ev.energy’s Eve platform and solutions. You aren't just reacting to policy; you are mapping the landscape to identify opportunities, then implementing plans to realize them—all with a direct line to company revenue and growth goals. You are the primary guardian of our core North East accounts and the lead voice in the rooms where standards are set.

Qualifications

• 10–15+ years of experience: Deep history in US energy policy, specifically leading interventions in utility dockets and state-level legislative processes.
• Network depth: Established, and/or the ability to establish quickly, top-tier relationships with state Commissioners, grid operators (ISOs/RTOs), and state energy offices in the eastern US.
• Communication mastery: Proven experience as an industry spokesperson; ability to deliver testimony and speak at top-tier policy forums.
• Technical & commercial literacy: Deep understanding of utility cost-effectiveness modelling, tariff design, and technical data standards (VGI/V2X).
• Education: Advanced degree in Law, Public Policy, Public Affairs or related discipline.
• AI mindset: You are expected to leverage AI and LLM tools to 10x your output—using technology to monitor dockets, draft initial filings, and analyze massive volumes of regulatory text with speed.
• Time & travel: Ability to travel for in-person commission and stakeholder meetings and conferences.
• Note on working hours: We maintain and are growing utility partners from coast-to-coast in the US, and some of our teams are in the UK/Europe. Regardless of where you are based in the US, you must be flexible with your hours to ensure effective coverage for US regulatory cycles and some crossover with the UK team.

Requirements

• Market-minded architect: You see policy through the lens of market structure—identifying where regulatory changes can create new categories of revenue.
• Revenue-obsessed: You don't see policy as a cost center. You see it as the "top of the funnel" for our largest utility deals.
• Agile & flexible: You thrive in a startup environment where you must pivot quickly between high-level strategy and hands-on filing work.
• Proactive "door-opener": You are not shy to chase stakeholders, open doors for the Sales team, and build the credibility needed to influence utility planning.
