Executive Communications Lead

Fervo Energy • Houston, TX

5d • Hybrid

About The Position

Fervo is working to build the most cost-effective, repeatable geothermal power plants in the world. Delivering on this mission requires compelling, high-quality communication across every channel. Joining Fervo's Communications team means shaping the public narrative of a fast-growing clean energy company, raising the visibility of our work as we reinvent how geothermal energy is delivered at scale. Join us and work alongside world-class engineers, researchers, investors, and developers in making geothermal a key pillar of our climate-friendly energy future.

We are seeking an experienced Executive Communications Lead to own Fervo's executive communications and engagement internally and externally — in writing, on stage, and in the room. This role shapes and protects the executive voice across speeches, keynotes, and high-visibility appearances as Fervo scales as a newly public company.

The Executive Communications Lead is responsible for all internal and external communication that carries an executive's name or voice — speeches, keynote remarks, talking points, and the presentations that support them. This individual will develop a conference engagement strategy to determine which conferences and speaking engagements Fervo employees should attend and speak at. You will also make sure that person walks on stage fully prepared with a clear message and a polished deck.

This is a high-trust, high-visibility role. The right candidate can translate a technical, first-of-its-kind energy story into a compelling narrative for investors, policymakers, media, and industry audiences, while working directly and confidentially with Fervo's most senior leaders under tight deadlines.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in executive communications, speechwriting, or corporate communications
• Proven track record working with and writing for C-suite or senior executives in a high-visibility environment
• Exceptional writing skills, with the ability to adapt tone and voice to different executives and audiences
• Experience building and refining executive-level presentations (PowerPoint, Keynote, or similar)
• Strong project management skills, able to coordinate multiple executives, events, and deadlines simultaneously
• Sound judgment and discretion handling sensitive, confidential, or market-moving information
• Must have a sense of humor and not take themselves too seriously
• Bachelor's degree in Communications, English, Journalism, or a related field

Nice To Haves

• Experience in energy, climate tech, or another technical industry translating complex topics for broad audiences
• Experience supporting communications at a newly public company
• Experience coaching executives on public speaking and stage presence

Responsibilities

• Write speeches, keynote remarks, talking points, and prepared statements for Fervo's CEO and executive team
• Own and protect a consistent executive voice and narrative across every external communication
• Partner directly with executives to translate their intent and expertise into clear, compelling remarks
• Build and maintain Fervo's conference and speaking-engagement calendar.
• Review incoming opportunities and proactively seek new opportunities to determine which conferences and external events warrant Fervo's participation and at what level.
• Work with conference organizers to secure speaking opportunities and manage associated logistics.
• Prepare speakers ahead of each engagement, including message alignment, logistics, and rehearsal
• Build and design the slide decks used for conference keynotes and executive speaking engagements
• Ensure all external-facing presentation materials are polished, on-brand, and aligned with Fervo's current narrative.
• Write speeches and build out-of-the-box content to showcase Fervo’s groundbreaking technology and leading market position.
• Manage version control and rapid turnaround on decks as messaging or events evolve
• Serve as the single point of ownership for executive-level external communications, coordinating closely with Legal, Investor Relations, and Media Relations to keep messaging consistent
• Advise executives on communications strategy and positioning for high-stakes external moments
