Industry Insights Analyst & Editorial Lead at Neara. Location Information: . Imagine having the power to stress-test an entire power grid against a hurricane or thunderstorm before the clouds even gather. That is the reality we are creating at Neara.. We use advanced machine learning to create engineering-grade, physics enabled digital twins of electricity grids across four continents, this helps asset owners understand their biggest challenges and bring the most viable solutions to life across millions of kilometres of infrastructure.. By simulating extreme weather and structural stress at a network-wide scale, we empower the world’s largest utilities to pinpoint risks, optimise investments and build a more resilient global energy future.. Our team is a collection of brilliant minds who are fanatical about making a tangible difference in the real world, utilising AI and machine learning to accelerate everything from data classification to complex scenario analysis. We have built a special culture where innovation thrives because everyone owns the mission and we need smart, creative people to help us scale this impact to every corner of the globe.. THE ROLE. We're looking for a rare hybrid: an analyst who can find the story in the data and a writer who can make the world care about it. One of the most existential systems on earth, the physical grid and the infrastructure the energy transition depends on, is changing fast, and the public evidence of that change is scattered across policy, filings, science, and markets. This person will pull that evidence together into insight, turn that insight into stories that shape how asset owners, government, and media understand modern infrastructure, and act as a trusted thought partner to leaders across the business.. You will construct and interrogate a defensible view of the world from public and external sources such as regulatory filings, policy developments, market and technical data, climate and weather datasets, and scientific literature, to reveal how the grid is actually holding up against wildfire, flood, heat, and electrification, and where it isn't. You'll then translate those findings into clear, urgent, credible narratives for executive audiences. Your work will strengthen category conviction, create urgency in live deals, build Neara's authority with policymakers and press, and keep our point of view top of mind in the moments that matter.. ABOUT YOU. You're equally comfortable in a dataset and on a blank page. You can find and interrogate the numbers yourself, spot what's surprising, and then write the piece that makes it land.. You're highly analytical, with the instinct to anticipate what no one's talking about yet but should be, and the rigor to prove it from credible, external evidence.. You're a natural thought partner. Leaders come to you to pressure-test ideas, sharpen their thinking, and understand what a shift in the landscape really means for the business.. You have domain fluency in energy and infrastructure, whether from public affairs, analytics, or an operator inside the space.. WHAT YOU WILL DO. 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.. WHO YOU ARE. 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. Facility with analytical tooling such as SQL or Python is a plus, but this role is about insight and narrative, not building data infrastructure.. 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.. Relationships with relevant journalists, and comfort engaging reporters as a source, are a plus.. BONUS. 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.. WHAT WE ARE OFFERING YOU. 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.. #LI-BH1
