What the job involves

• We're looking for talented self-starters who want to be part of the energy transformation and are ready, willing, and able to tackle tough challenges and complex technical problems. When you join the Sense team, you're helping us build a cleaner, more resilient future
• Sense supports a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace and is an equal-opportunity employer. We strive to foster an engaging, respectful, and supportive community where everyone feels empowered to do their best work
• As a Corporate Development Associate at Sense, you'll work directly with our CEO, COO, and finance leadership on the fundraising, partnership, and strategic projects that shape the company's next stage
• You'll own the operating rhythm behind those processes: keeping the pipeline and trackers current, preparing briefing materials ahead of meetings, attending meetings, coordinating scheduling and follow-ups, getting agreements executed, managing data room access, and project managing diligence requests through to closure
• The work is high-exposure and moves quickly, and you'll see how decisions actually get made at the executive level of a company at an inflection point
• Exceptionally organized, and energized rather than daunted by owning many parallel threads at once
• Comfortable driving a process forward, which includes following up with senior people inside and outside the company until things are actually done
• A clear and precise writer, able to handle correspondence with external partners and investors without needing it edited
• Fluent in Excel, PowerPoint, Google Sheets and Slides, and comfortable working alongside our finance team on models and analysis
• Discreet, with good instincts about confidential and market-sensitive information
• Curious about how the energy industry works, and willing to learn enough about our technology to prepare materials and organize diligence intelligently
• Interested in breadth over specialization, and looking for a role where the scope grows with what you can handle
• Ready to work in person with a small team, where the fastest way to solve something is usually to walk over and ask
