Industry Insights Analyst & Editorial Lead

Neara

4d • $180,000 - $230,000

About The Position

Neara is creating a reality where power grids can be stress-tested against extreme weather events before they occur, using advanced machine learning to build engineering-grade, physics-enabled digital twins of electricity grids. This technology helps asset owners understand their challenges and implement viable solutions across millions of kilometers of infrastructure. By simulating extreme weather and structural stress at a network-wide scale, Neara empowers global utilities to identify risks, optimize investments, and contribute to a more resilient energy future. The company fosters a culture of innovation where everyone is dedicated to making a tangible difference in the real world through AI and machine learning.

Requirements

• 8+ years across analytical and writing-driven work, ideally spanning both, in energy, infrastructure, technology, or journalism with relevant domain depth.
• A genuinely strong writer and editor who can craft authoritative narratives for senior business leaders and technical decision-makers, and who knows how to find the story, sharpen the argument, and say something that actually matters.
• Analytically fluent: comfortable sourcing, structuring, and interrogating large public datasets, and producing data-informed visualizations for external publication.
• A trusted thought partner who can sit with senior stakeholders, challenge assumptions constructively, and help shape how they think and communicate.
• Able to translate complex, technical, and regulatory material such as rate cases, proposed bills, and technical papers into language that's clear, credible, and useful to a business audience.
• Deep curiosity about the infrastructure and energy transition landscape, with the judgment to spot emerging issues before they go mainstream.

Nice To Haves

• Facility with analytical tooling such as SQL or Python is a plus, but this role is about insight and narrative, not building data infrastructure.
• Relationships with relevant journalists, and comfort engaging reporters as a source, are a plus.
• Degree in a quantitative field such as statistics, economics, engineering, or sciences, or equivalent analytical experience.
• Experience with institutions respected by policymakers and the public for their economic or industry insight.

Responsibilities

• Imagine, scope, and lead research projects that bring different facets of grid resilience and the energy transition to life using public and external data.
• Generate hypotheses, rapidly test them against credible external sources, and proactively surface the most interesting findings before anyone's asking for them.
• Turn analysis into evidence-led, implication-focused editorial in a range of formats, including reports, blogs, briefings, executive-ready narratives, and campaign content, that are naturally aligned to Neara's strengths without a promotional tone.
• Act as an internal thought partner to leaders across Sales, Product, and the executive team, helping them interpret industry shifts, sharpen their arguments, and translate insight into how they think, plan, and communicate.
• Define and track the key resilience and infrastructure metrics that become Neara's recurring, ownable point of view on the state of the grid, a benchmark the industry watches, built entirely on defensible public evidence.
• Detect and interpret industry inflection points by synthesizing policy, market, social, and technical signals, then translate what changed, why it matters, where Neara fits, and how executive thinking should adjust.
• Equip customer-facing teams with forwardable, data-backed perspectives and executive-level language that strengthen credibility and move strategic deals.
• Publish internally and externally, and engage reporters as a trusted, evidence-grounded source to help shape industry storylines.
• Safeguard Neara's point of view by stress-testing positioning against real market sentiment, challenging internal assumptions, and making sure every claim is credible, earned, and defensible.

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.
