About Modo Energy

The energy transition is the biggest infrastructure buildout in human history. Modo Energy is the data platform at the centre of it.

We build the benchmarking, forecasting, and valuation tools that the world's most serious energy investors, developers, and operators depend on to make decisions. If a battery gets financed, built, or traded anywhere in the world, there's a good chance Modo data was in the room.

Founded in 2019, we're 80+ people across London, New York, Sydney, and Madrid; $30M Series B, AI-native, and moving fast.

This is a rare chance to join a category-defining company at the moment it's scaling globally.

The role

The US is the biggest battery storage story in the world. We're hiring the person who tells it.

You will be the public face of Modo Energy's US market intelligence. You'll turn our data into the analysis the industry reads, quotes, and books onto stages. Think of the role the way Zillow thinks of its Chief Economist: a technically credible voice, backed by a research platform, who becomes the reference point for an entire market.

You'll join our marketing team in New York and report to our Director of Marketing. You'll work hand-in-glove with our Americas research analysts through a formal dotted line into the research team, and with our in-house media and design teams. This is a build role. You'll start as the voice and grow the US market intelligence function as it scales.

What you'll own

  • The narrative. Publish weekly analysis on US battery storage and power markets across the major ISOs/RTOs. Own a flagship newsletter on the Modo platform. Set the agenda, don't follow it.
  • The stage. Represent Modo at 12+ industry events in year one: RE+, ACP conferences, ISO market summits and stakeholder forums, customer workshops. Deliver talks people remember.
  • The screen. Front our US video, podcast, and webinar output alongside our in-house production team. Become the person journalists call for a storage quote.
  • The pipeline. Join strategic customer conversations as the credibility in the room. Your content should generate demand we can measure.
  • The team. Work daily with our Americas research analysts (dotted line into the research team) to ground every piece in Modo data. Your job is to make Modo's US research famous, not just yourself.

You'll know it's working when

  • Conference organizers invite you before we pitch them.
  • Journalists cite your analysis as the industry benchmark.
  • Customers tell our sales team they found us through your work.
  • The best analysts in the US market want to work with you.

What we're looking for

The essentials:

  • 5–8 years working in or on US power markets, with real depth in battery storage
  • Fluency in at least two ISO/RTO markets, including market design, ancillary services, and revenue dynamics
  • A public track record. Include links to talks you've given and analysis you've published. Applications without links won't progress
  • Proven ability to turn complex data into narrative that non-experts repeat
  • A polished, confident communicator on stage, on camera, and on the page
  • Based in (or relocating to) New York

Nice to have:

  • An existing industry following (LinkedIn, newsletter, podcast)
  • Broadcast, podcast, or on-camera experience
  • Python or SQL literacy: enough to work credibly alongside our analysts
  • Experience at a market research house, IPP, optimizer, developer, or trading desk

What Modo gives you

We give you the data platform the industry already trusts, a distribution engine with an established audience, an in-house video and design team behind every piece you publish, analysts to pressure-test every number, and equity in a category-defining company. You bring the voice. We bring the machine.

Compensation & Equal Opportunity

  • Base salary range: $200,000–$250,000 per year, depending on experience
  • The salary range listed reflects industry benchmarks for this role. Modo Energy's policy is to pay top of personal market - if you're exceptional, we'll make it work
  • Equity for every employee
  • 25 days annual leave, medical, dental and vision coverage, and 401(k) with optional employer matching
  • Hybrid: Tuesday to Thursday in our NYC office, Monday and Friday flexible
  • Modo Energy is an equal opportunity employer - employment decisions are made on the basis of qualifications, merit, and business need. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by federal, New York State, or New York City law

What You Can Expect From Us

At Modo Energy, we believe that exceptional work deserves exceptional reward. We're a high-performance team; ambitious, collaborative, and genuinely motivated by the scale of what we're trying to build.

You'll have real ownership from day one, work alongside some of the brightest people in the industry, and be part of a company that's defining a new category in the global energy market. We're hybrid: everyone works Tuesday to Thursday in office, with Monday and Friday flexible. We offer top-of-market compensation, equity for every employee, and the space to take your career wherever you want it to go.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
