Director, Industry Intelligence & Editorial

Role Description

We’re looking for a senior editorial leader with deep domain fluency to own the strategic storytelling that defines how the risk and resilience conversation evolves around the grid, the transformative potential of the physics-enabled digital twin, and the implications for executive decision-makers. This is an industry interpretation and narrative authority role, not a traditional content production role.

• Track and digest changes across regulation, reliability, climate risk, and infrastructure investment.
• Translate shifts into clear, credible, thought-provoking editorial across multiple formats for senior utility and infrastructure leaders.
• Develop high-impact content that strengthens category leadership and brings customer stories to life.
• Deliver regular briefings to Sales, Product, and GTM teams on industry developments and their implications.
• Drive forward-looking event agendas aligned to industry inflection points.
• Design executive conversations that reinforce Neara’s authority and leadership position in the market.

Qualifications

• 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.
• Ability to translate complex, technical subject matter into clear, credible, and genuinely useful language for a business audience.
• Deep curiosity about the infrastructure and energy transition landscape.
• Strong relationships with relevant journalists and comfortable engaging with reporters as a trusted source.

Requirements

• Know how to find the story, sharpen the argument, and say something that actually matters and shapes perception without being sales-y.
• Judgment to identify emerging issues before they become mainstream talking points.

Benefits

• 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.
