Description
terralayr addresses the massive deficit in global energy storage. The over-indexing of electricity generation from renewable energy sources leads to large volatility on the energy grid. The main problem is that wind and solar farms are fluctuating and, by definition, unsteady—there is no sun at night, and it is not always windy. This increases the need for flexibility in the form of battery storage systems to balance the grid in times when supply and demand do not match. By buying and developing grid-scale storage assets and virtually aggregating them across a layer, we are creating the world's first energy cloud. Imagine AWS for energy. Through the flexibility we secure, we can market flexibility-as-a-service and hedging products/power insurance to utilities, SMEs, and industrial players and create virtual storage capacity for PV and wind farms. As Chief of Staff (m/f/d) , you work directly alongside the CEO and the wider leadership team as a force multiplier across terralayr's most important priorities. You are the CEO's closest thought partner and right hand, while also serving as a trusted advisor and facilitator for the rest of the leadership team, stepping in wherever a critical topic needs an owner. You operate at the intersection of strategy, execution, and organization, turning high-stakes problems and strategic priorities into structured decisions and implementation. One week you are building the case for an acquisition or entering a new market, the next you are running a fundraising process, tightening cross-functional processes, or preparing board meetings.
