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.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Policy Manager to lead Form Energy’s regulatory, state agency, legislative, and wholesale market advocacy efforts in California, and potentially other states in the West, to ensure that multi-day storage is woven into all state plans to achieve a zero carbon electric grid. You’ll be responsible for securing incentives, procurement programs, and changes to market designs to support Form Energy’s commercial goals through your own individual work and by building and managing a local team of policy professionals. The policy advocacy work you will oversee in California will include direct advocacy, coalition building, partnerships with trade organizations, and thought leadership, focused initially in California. This multifaceted role is an opportunity to build upon your policy successes and network in California and other western states to become a leading voice helping the state chart a course to a clean electric grid.

Although this role will focus primarily on California initially, you will play an important role in developing new policy proposals and strategies that influence Form Energy’s advocacy efforts nationally. You will also have an opportunity to expand geographic coverage to other states in the West, in partnership with policy team leadership, as our business needs evolve and opportunities arise. This role will also involve hiring and managing local lobbyists and consultants, as needed, and helping to define regional team resource needs to respond to new opportunities.  

This position will report to the Senior Manager, Policy and Regulatory Affairs, while working in close collaboration with Form’s commercial, analytics, product and communications teams. This role will be based in Form’s Berkeley, CA, office. Title and compensation will be based on experience.
