You’ll drive advocacy efforts at the regional level, engaging with policymakers, regulators, and industry stakeholders to promote policies that enable our residential batteries to support consumers and the grid. You will also work closely with our business-development folks, teaming up to decide which markets to target and helping guide our entry. This role requires policy expertise, strategic vision, and a commitment to transforming the energy sector.

  • Monitor and analyze federal legislative and regulatory developments relevant to Base, providing insights and action plans to address risks, opportunities, and emerging trends.
  • Represent Base in national coalitions, meetings and hearings, and stakeholder forums to promote policies that enhance energy reliability, affordability, and sustainability.
  • Collaborate with internal teams (business-development, legal, operations, product, engineering) to align policy initiatives with business objectives and customer needs.
  • Draft policy proposals, briefs, comments, and testimony to influence decision-makers and position Base as a thought leader in the energy space.
  • Anticipate and navigate policy shifts, ensuring Base remains agile in a dynamic regulatory environment.

What You’ll Bring:

  • 5+ years of experience in the energy sector.
  • Strong network within energy and policy circles.
  • Track record of influencing policy outcomes, ideally in energy, utilities, or technology sectors.
  • Exceptional communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts into persuasive policy arguments.
  • An entrepreneurial mindset that thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and prioritizes impact.
  • A commitment to building a more reliable grid for all.
