Form Energy is a team of passionate people tackling the challenge of climate change through transformationally low cost energy storage.  Our team members are active learners who enjoy working on tough technology problems in massive markets and embody our values of humanity, excellence and creativity. The company is backed by a diverse set of committed investors and we have raised over $360M to date.

The Director of Market Design will establish Form Energy as a national thought leader in policy discussions about how electric markets and resource planning efforts need to evolve to fully compensate multi-day energy storage and to enable a reliable, 100% renewable energy grid. 

This role will be responsible for bringing new ideas to electricity policy questions being asked across the country:  What new planning frameworks and market products are needed to ensure reliable electricity supply during multi-day periods of risk as grids accommodate high levels of renewables? What are the best-practice methods to value multi-day energy storage and hybrid resources in reliability planning? What is the pathway for energy storage to be compensated for providing both transmission and energy benefits to the grid? How do wholesale market participation models need to evolve to accommodate Form’s 100-hour battery?

The Director of Market Design will define Form Energy’s policy positions on these questions and a range of related issues being addressed in regional electricity markets and state resource planning. One of the Director of Market Design’s primary responsibilities will be to provide the technical expertise and strategy that underlie Form Energy’s advocacy before ISOs/RTOs and FERC. This role is also broader; it will involve cross-functional collaboration to define multi-day storage and firm zero carbon resources as a class and to ensure that markets and policies fully value these resources.

This role will report to the Chief Operating Officer in the near term and eventually to the VP of Policy, while working closely with other policy team members and collaborating with Form’s analytics, commercial operations, and communications teams. This role will be based in Form's Berkeley, CA or Somerville, MA offices, but remote work is an option for the right candidate.
