David Energy
About David Energy
David Energy is creating a new kind of power company. Traditional Retail Electricity Providers (REPs) are outdated, opaque, and painful for customers to engage with. We use software to monitor our customers' real-time energy usage, and we aggregate and analyze that data to maximize the value they get from their energy assets – batteries, EVs, HVAC systems and other distributed energy resources (DERs) via participation in energy markets. Our mission is to run the grid on clean energy 24/7.
About the Role
We are hiring a Chief of Staff based in NYC to work directly with the CEO to develop and operationalize our company strategy as we scale.
This role is the CEO’s closest partner in turning complex, often ambiguous strategic ideas into clear, measurable outcomes and execution plans the company can run on, then driving the work across the leadership team. This role will directly shape how David Energy thinks, decides, and executes.
This person is expected to be a scientific thinker and an exceptional writer. We are a documents and metrics-based culture in order to drive intellectual and analytical rigor in the decisions and plans we make.
What You’ll Do
Partner closely with the CEO to develop company strategy and translate it into clear documents and outcomes-driven plans
Use data, analytics, and structured reasoning to sharpen strategy, test assumptions, and evaluate tradeoffs
Lead quarterly and semi-annual planning cycles across the leadership team, including the development and refinement of company OKRs
Run the weekly executive projects meeting with a focus on outcomes, accountability, and signal over noise
Actively project-manage cross-functional initiatives by following up with leaders, closing loops, and removing blockers
Ensure the leadership team is consistently aligned and focused on the highest-impact priorities
Maintain and evolve core strategy, planning, and execution documents to ensure they reflect current realities and learnings
Establish and reinforce high standards for analytical thinking, decision framing, and written communication across the leadership team
Support other executives and functional leaders in crafting rigorous decision documents and project plans
Drive a culture of learning by incorporating retrospectives, post-mortems, and evidence-based iteration into planning and execution
Help leaders define clear operating metrics, success metrics, and feedback loops for strategic initiatives
Own key strategic projects end to end, from problem identification through execution
Over time, build and lead the strategy team to scale this capability as the company grows
What We’re Looking For
Deeply rigorous thinker with a scientific approachto strategy and problem-solving
Strong operator who enjoys translating strategy into execution and holding teams accountable to outcomes
Exceptional written communication skills, with a bias toward clarity and brevity
Highly analytical, with comfort leveraging data to inform decisions and challenge assumptions
Strong judgment, intellectual honesty, and the ability to influence without direct authority
Experience in strategy, operations, consulting, investing, or early-stage startups is a plus
Benefits
$170,000-190,000 plus equity, depending on experience
Group medical and dental insurance
Flexible vacation/PTO policy
401(k) plan
Hybrid office culture, with team members remote and working from our offices in New York City
