EnerVenue is an energy infrastructure company commercializing the Aqueous Metal Cell (AMC), a nickel-hydrogen battery built on the chemistry NASA developed for the Hubble Space Telescope and the International Space Station. Founded in 2020 by Stanford professor Yi Cui, the company has adapted that aerospace chemistry for grid-scale storage on Earth: an aqueous cell with no lithium and no rare earths, designed for 30,000 cycles and a 30-year design life, with zero risk of fire from thermal runaway. Research and development is based in Fremont, California, commercial operations run from Hong Kong and Singapore, and manufacturing is in Changzhou, Jiangsu.
In March 2026 EnerVenue closed a $300 million Series B extension, taking total funding to over $700 million. A high-volume manufacturing line is under construction in Changzhou, targeting 250 MWh of annual capacity in Q3 2026 and scaling toward 1 GWh in 2027. EnerVenue ranked second worldwide in energy storage and distribution in the 2025 TIME and Statista Top GreenTech Companies list, and was named to the list for a third consecutive year in 2026.
The Role
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, and that case is made in arguments that earn attention on their own merits: research pieces for the industry hub, bylined articles placed in trade and mainstream energy press, white papers written for the people who sign off on capital, and a company page that looks outward at the sector rather than inward at its own announcements. 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, and 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 the deep, top-of-funnel pieces that anchor the content program: industry research articles, executive white papers, procurement and due-diligence guides, sector playbooks (data centers, utilities, mining, ports, telecom) and technical deep dives
- Write bylined articles for placement in trade and mainstream energy press, in the voice of the assigned spokesperson, working from documented voice specifications rather than guesswork
- 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 so the corpus compounds instead of the number being used once and lost
- 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 across the full format palette: same-week reaction to a dated external development, one-number posts built on a single verified statistic, explainer cards, honest answers to real buyer questions, counterweight posts, polls, documentary place-and-people content, and event content
- Turn same-week reactions around inside 48 hours. This is the format that decides whether the page reads as a participant in the sector or a broadcaster of its own news
- Draft executive content within the established persona system for the chief executive, and support additional spokespeople as the roster expands
- Tag every post by format at publication so performance can be read by shape, and use the monthly analytics review to decide what to make more of and what to retire
- Support X and the Chinese channel map as those lanes develop
- Pair every statistic with a chart built on the brand grid. A strong number published without a visual wastes the number
Editorial Standards and Claim Discipline
- Work inside the locked language: canonical product naming (AMC, Energy Rack, Energy Prism, Energy Venue), the canonical safety wording, and the banned-language list
- Never deploy an unsourced statistic, an ungated claim, or an attack on a named competitor. Route anything new to the Head of Communications before it reaches a draft that leaves the building
- Distinguish what has been delivered from what has been demonstrated from what is intended, and write each in the register it can carry
- 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, from pitch through greenlight to publication
- Brief and review the content agency that repurposes long-form pieces into the LinkedIn and newsletter layers, and hold the wording line on what comes back
- Support press releases, media materials, briefing notes and event content as the news cycle demands
- Contribute to internal communications, including the internal newsletter
- Report monthly on content performance by format, channel and audience
Required Qualifications
Experience
- Four or more years writing published business, technical or editorial content for a professional audience, with a portfolio that can be read rather than described
- Experience in the renewables industry is required. Energy storage experience is strongly preferred and will be the deciding factor between otherwise comparable candidates
- Demonstrable long-form thought leadership: pieces that make an argument and carry evidence, not product marketing dressed as insight
- Ghostwriting in a named executive voice, with samples and with a clear account of how the voice was built
- LinkedIn as a primary professional channel, covering both company-page and executive content, with working familiarity with native formats and analytics
- Social media content production across at least one channel beyond LinkedIn
Craft
- Native-level written English, and a plain, declarative style that does not reach for adjectives to carry an argument
- The judgment to recognize which claim is defensible and which is not, and the discipline to ask rather than write around it
- Ability to read primary material (analyst reports, standards documents, regulatory filings, technical datasheets) and extract a figure that will survive scrutiny
- Comfortable turning engineering substance into language a chief financial officer or a procurement lead will act on, without flattening the engineering
- Speed under a news cycle, and accuracy under speed
Ways of Working
- Self-directed. This is a small function with no editorial layer between the writer and publication
- Comfortable working inside a governed, version-controlled knowledge base: markdown, plain-text documents, and a single source of truth for language and claims
- 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, including NFPA 855, UL 9540A and UL 1973, interconnection and permitting
- Search and generative-engine optimization literacy: how content gets found, and how it gets cited by AI answer engines
- 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, and clarity about where their output stops being usable
What EnerVenue Offers
- A category being defined rather than a product being marketed, which is a rare thing for a writer to get access to
- Direct access to the chief executive and to technical leadership, and content that lands in front of buyers, investors, regulators and the trade press
- A documented language and evidence framework, so that published work is defensible on the day it appears and does not get relitigated afterwards
- 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, not a consumable product
