About the company:
Unlike conventional batteries, our systems use abundant, non-toxic materials: iron, air, and water. This makes them safe, cost-effective, and scalable without relying on scarce minerals or fragile supply chains. When charging, the battery converts rust into metallic iron. When discharging, it reverses the reaction, consuming oxygen and producing rust again. This simple, proven chemistry has the potential to deliver energy at a fraction of the cost of other storage technologies.
Founded at TU Delft in the Netherlands, Ore Energy is focused on real-world deployment. In 2025, we connected the world's first iron-air battery to the grid in Delft. This milestone demonstrated that multi-day storage can be integrated directly into modern energy systems.
As countries expand renewable generation, the challenge of balancing supply and demand is becoming urgent. We believe long-duration storage is a critical part of the solution and that it must be safe, sustainable, and affordable at scale.
Ore Energy’s mission is clear: to store renewable energy anywhere, for as long as needed, using materials that are available to everyone. By combining deep electrochemistry expertise with practical engineering, we are turning one of Earth’s most abundant resources into a cornerstone of the clean energy transition.

The role
About Ore Energy
At Ore Energy, we are developing long-duration, utility-scale iron-air batteries to provide safe, low-cost, multi-day energy storage. Having raised over €60 million from leading climate and energy investors and demonstrated our technology under real-world utility conditions, we are now entering our next phase of growth: financing our industrial scale-up, developing our gigafactory, and deploying multi-day storage across grid-scale markets.
Role Overview
Reporting directly to the CEO and working closely with the Board, shareholders, and executive leadership team, you will own Ore Energy’s overarching financing strategy and transaction execution.
In this hands-on, strategic finance role, you will lead equity raises, structure corporate and gigafactory debt, and establish bankable project financing for commercial battery deployments. You will own the company’s financial model, translating commercial, engineering, and manufacturing roadmaps into compelling investment cases for sophisticated global capital markets.

Strategic Advisory: Provide high-level financial guidance to the CEO, leadership team, and Board to steer business strategy and growth.
Financial Capability & Governance: Build the core finance capabilities, internal controls, systems, and reporting structures required for a rapidly scaling industrial company.
Your profile
Experience: 10+ years of strategic finance, corporate finance, or capital markets experience within energy, infrastructure, industrial manufacturing, climate technology, or another capital-intensive sector.
Track Record: Proven success raising equity and structuring/closing complex corporate debt, gigafactory, or project finance transactions.
