Form Energy is a U.S. technology and manufacturing company that is developing and commercializing cost-effective multi-day energy storage systems to enable the global electricity system to run on 100% low-cost renewable energy, every day of the year. Driven by Form’s core values of humanity, excellence, and creativity, our team is deeply motivated and inspired to create a better world. We seek to transform the energy landscape and do our part in making the world better for all. We are supported by leading investors who share a common belief that low-cost, multi-day energy storage will be a key enabler of tomorrow’s zero carbon electric system.

Role Description

Form Energy is looking for a Policy Manager to lead our European regulatory, legislative, and advocacy efforts to ensure that multi-day storage is woven into all EU level and member-state (UK included) directives to achieve a zero carbon electric grid. You will be responsible for securing incentives, procurement programs, and changes to market designs to support Form Energy’s commercial goals. The policy advocacy work you will lead in Europe will include independent thought leadership, direct advocacy, coalition building, and partnerships with trade organizations, among other responsibilities. This multifaceted role is an opportunity to build upon your policy successes and network in Europe to become a leading voice helping the region chart a course to a clean electric grid.

This is an individual contributor role that will involve hiring and managing local lobbyists and consultants, as needed. As new opportunities emerge, this role could evolve over time to include hiring and managing supportive team members. This position will report to the Vice President, Policy and Regulatory Affairs, while working in close collaboration with other policy teammates and Form’s commercial, analytics, product and communications teams. Title and compensation will be based on experience.
