Industry Insights Analyst – Editorial Lead

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Envision, define, and manage research initiatives that illuminate various aspects of grid resilience and the energy transition, utilizing both public and external data.

• Formulate hypotheses, swiftly validate them against reliable external sources, and proactively highlight the most compelling discoveries before they are requested.

• Transform analysis into evidence-based, implication-oriented editorial content across diverse formats, including reports, blogs, briefings, executive-ready narratives, and campaign materials, that resonate with Neara's strengths while maintaining a non-promotional tone.

• Serve as a trusted internal advisor to leaders in Sales, Product, and the executive team, assisting them in interpreting industry changes, refining their arguments, and translating insights into actionable thoughts, plans, and communications.

• Establish and monitor key resilience and infrastructure metrics that represent Neara's unique perspective on the grid's status, creating a benchmark that the industry watches, grounded entirely in credible public evidence.

• Identify and analyze industry inflection points by synthesizing policy, market, social, and technical signals, then convey what has changed, its significance, Neara's role, and how executive thinking should evolve.

• Provide customer-facing teams with shareable, data-supported insights and executive-level language that enhance credibility and facilitate strategic deals.

• Publish content internally and externally, and collaborate with reporters as a reliable, evidence-based source to influence industry narratives.

• Protect Neara's viewpoint by rigorously testing positioning against actual market sentiment, challenging internal assumptions, and ensuring that every claim is credible, justified, and defensible.
