Job description
Description
Fervo is working to build the most cost-effective, repeatable geothermal power plants in the world. Delivering on this mission requires compelling, high-quality communication across every channel. Joining Fervo's Communications(CA1.1) team means shaping the public narrative of a fast-growing clean energy company, raising the visibility of our work as we reinvent how geothermal energy is delivered at scale. Join us and work alongside world-class engineers, researchers, investors, and developers in making geothermal a key pillar of our climate-friendly energy future.
We are seeking an experienced Executive Communications Lead to own Fervo's executive communications and engagement internally and externally - in writing, on stage, and in the room. This role shapes and protects the executive voice across speeches, keynotes, and high-visibility appearances as Fervo scales as a newly public company.
The Executive Communications Lead is responsible for all internal and external communication that carries an executive's name or voice - speeches, keynote remarks, talking points, and the presentations that support them. This individual will develop a conference engagement strategy to determine which conferences and speaking engagements Fervo employees should attend and speak at. You will also make sure that person walks on stage fully prepared with a clear message and a polished deck.
This is a high-trust, high-visibility role. The right candidate can translate a technical, first-of-its-kind energy story into a compelling narrative for investors, policymakers, media, and industry audiences, while working directly and confidentially with Fervo's most senior leaders under tight deadlines.
