[Hiring] Content Writer @EnerVenue

Role Description

EnerVenue is looking for a Content Writer to produce the content that carries the company's argument to utilities, developers, data-center operators, investors, and regulators across multiple platforms and publishing outlets. This is the first dedicated content hire in the communications function, and it reports to the Head of Communications.

The work is writing, not coordination. EnerVenue is not marketing a better battery; it is establishing long-duration storage as permanent infrastructure. The successful candidate can hold an argument together across 2,000 words and across 200 characters, and can do both in the same week.

The function runs to a documented editorial standard:

• Locked product and safety language
• A claim discipline in which every statistic is traced to a named primary source and verified before publication
• A house style that rejects marketing register

Anyone who has worked in a newsroom will recognize the discipline and will find the freedom that comes with it. The argument is yours to make. The wording of a safety or performance claim is not, and that boundary is what makes the work publishable.

Key Responsibilities

• Thought Leadership and Long-Form Content
  • Write deep, top-of-funnel pieces: industry research articles, executive white papers, procurement and due-diligence guides, sector playbooks, and technical deep dives.
  • Write bylined articles for placement in trade and mainstream energy press, in the voice of the assigned spokesperson.
  • Build each piece to the house architecture: one reframe, an evidence spine, third-party authority at the open and the close, a single late company insertion, and a close that argues the category rather than the product.
  • Source every figure to a named primary with its date cited in the draft, verify it before publication, and write it back into the evidence library.
  • Work the idea bank and the live content territories, and bring your own angles rather than waiting for a brief.
• LinkedIn and Social
  • Produce company-page content: same-week reaction to external developments, one-number posts, explainer cards, honest answers to buyer questions, counterweight posts, polls, and event content.
  • Turn same-week reactions around inside 48 hours.
  • Draft executive content within the established persona system for the chief executive and support additional spokespeople.
  • Tag every post by format at publication for performance analysis.
  • Support X and the Chinese channel map as those lanes develop.
  • Pair every statistic with a chart built on the brand grid.
• Editorial Standards and Claim Discipline
  • Work inside the locked language: canonical product naming, canonical safety wording, and the banned-language list.
  • Never deploy an unsourced statistic, an ungated claim, or an attack on a named competitor.
  • Distinguish what has been delivered from what has been demonstrated from what is intended.
  • Hold house style: no buzzwords, no “this is not X, it is Y” constructions, no manufactured urgency, no sales language, no em dashes.
• Production, Agency Interface and Measurement
  • Run the content calendar day to day and keep the pipeline register current.
  • Brief and review the content agency that repurposes long-form pieces.
  • Support press releases, media materials, briefing notes, and event content as needed.
  • Contribute to internal communications, including the internal newsletter.
  • Report monthly on content performance by format, channel, and audience.

Qualifications

• Four or more years writing published business, technical, or editorial content for a professional audience.
• Experience in the renewables industry is required; energy storage experience is strongly preferred.
• Demonstrable long-form thought leadership: pieces that make an argument and carry evidence.
• Ghostwriting in a named executive voice, with samples and a clear account of how the voice was built.
• LinkedIn as a primary professional channel, with working familiarity with native formats and analytics.
• Social media content production across at least one channel beyond LinkedIn.
• Native-level written English, and a plain, declarative style.
• The judgment to recognize which claim is defensible and the discipline to ask rather than write around it.
• Ability to read primary material and extract a figure that will survive scrutiny.
• Comfortable turning engineering substance into language actionable by a CFO or procurement lead.
• Speed under a news cycle, and accuracy under speed.

Requirements

• Self-directed; comfortable working inside a governed, version-controlled knowledge base.
• Reliable across time zones, with working overlap with Changzhou, China, and the United States West Coast.
• Willing to travel occasionally for site visits, events, and content gathering.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience covering or working in long-duration energy storage, grid-scale batteries, grid infrastructure, or data-center power.
• Former journalist or trade-press editor, particularly in energy.
• Familiarity with the standards and regulatory landscape that storage content has to respect.
• Search and generative-engine optimization literacy.
• Data-visualization literacy, and the habit of building the chart alongside the copy.
• Agency-side experience, or experience managing an agency relationship from the client side.
• Mandarin Chinese, for the China market lane and for work with the Changzhou team.
• Fluency with AI tools as research and drafting aids inside a claim-discipline framework.

Benefits

• A category being defined rather than a product being marketed.
• Direct access to the chief executive and to technical leadership.
• A documented language and evidence framework for defensible published work.
• Competitive compensation.
• A company backed by long-term investors, with a clear path to gigawatt-scale production.
• A mission-driven team building infrastructure designed to last 30 years.
