Digital Content & Creative Lead

Deployable Energy | Washington, D.C. (Hybrid)

About the Company

Deployable Energy is a growing company focused on delivering innovative energy solutions. As the organization scales, it is investing in how its story, brand, and impact are communicated to customers, partners, employees, and the broader market.

About the Role

This is an opportunity for a creative, hands-on communications professional who enjoys both strategy and execution. You'll play a key role in shaping how Deployable Energy is seen externally, leading initiatives across content creation, branding, social media, web presence, visual design, and strategic communications.

You'll work directly with company leadership to transform technical and operational information into compelling stories, engaging content, and polished creative assets. This role offers significant ownership and visibility, with the chance to help build a brand during an exciting stage of growth.

What You'll Own

A successful person in this role will:

• Drive content strategy across digital channels and external communications
• Develop and evolve the company's brand identity and visual presence
• Manage website content and recommend improvements to user experience and messaging
• Create engaging content for social media, campaigns, thought leadership, and business development initiatives
• Design presentations, graphics, digital assets, and marketing materials
• Support executive communications and high-visibility external messaging
• Produce or coordinate multimedia content, including video and visual storytelling
• Monitor content performance and use data to improve engagement and reach
• Partner with stakeholders across the business to uncover stories worth telling
• Maintain consistency in messaging, design, and brand standards across all platforms

What Makes This Role Exciting

This position is ideal for someone who:

• Loves turning complex ideas into simple, compelling stories
• Enjoys moving seamlessly between creative thinking and hands-on execution
• Wants to influence both the strategic direction and day-to-day output of a growing brand
• Thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
• Is energized by building rather than simply maintaining

No two weeks will look exactly the same. One day you might be refreshing website content, the next developing a social campaign, designing an executive presentation, or launching a new brand initiative.

You are someone who can:

• Take an idea from concept to polished execution
• Create content that is both visually engaging and strategically effective
• Balance creativity with business objectives
• Work independently while collaborating effectively with leadership and cross-functional teams
