Job Description

Responsibilities

  • - Build and adapt Antora's decks, one-pagers, and other materials for each audience and use case, from a quick pass on an existing deck to new materials for a market we haven't pitched before.
  • - Produce and edit written content, talking points, posts, thought leadership, videos, and graphics that tell Antora's story at the right depth for each use case, from making a big-picture pitch to explaining a nuance in energy market dynamics.

Requirements

  • 3+ years in communications, marketing, consulting, policy, campaigns, or a related role, with a track record of making complicated things clear. We care more about what you've built and how fast you learn than how many years of experience you have.
  • Experience building content from scratch and owning it end to end, across formats and for different audiences.
  • Strong writing and editing skills, paired with judgment on what to surface and what to leave behind.
  • Appetite to take on whatever the company needs, from strategic priorities to the details that make them work, and the ability to move fast across many projects and shifting priorities.
  • Comfort with basic design, including the ability to build a clean deck or one-pager and direct a designer when needed.
  • Deep use of AI tools, including workflows you've built, and a habit of pushing what they can do.
  • Experience getting up to speed on new subjects quickly and working directly with subject matter experts to get the details right.
  • Genuine interest in Antora's mission and a collaborative, low-ego approach.
