About the Company

Antora Energy is building something quietly radical.

They convert cheap, intermittent electricity into reliable, always-on heat and power using thermal batteries.

No rare minerals
No decade-long buildouts
No fragile supply chains

Just physics, scaled intelligently.

What This Role Really Is

This is not a desk policy job.

This is market-shaping power.

You are responsible for ensuring:

  • Antora’s technology is recognized by regulators
  • Their products are valued correctly in energy markets
  • Policy doesn’t silently kill innovation before it scales

In simple terms:

If policy fails, the technology fails.
You exist to make sure that doesn’t happen.

What You’ll Do

Regulatory Strategy & Advocacy

Lead engagement with:

  • Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs)
  • Public Utility Commissions (PUCs)
  • State legislatures

Market Design Influence

Shape rules around:

  • Transmission & interconnection
  • Resource adequacy (RA)
  • ELCC (Effective Load Carrying Capability)
  • Long-duration storage

High-Stakes Representation

Represent Antora in:

  • FERC proceedings
  • RTO stakeholder processes
  • Legislative discussions

Commercial Alignment

Work directly with business teams to ensure:

  • Products are properly valued
  • Customers are willing to pay for them

Coalition Building

Partner with:

  • Industry groups
  • Other clean energy players
  • Policy stakeholders

What You Need

Core Experience

8–12+ years in:

  • Grid policy
  • Transmission
  • Interconnection
  • Resource adequacy

Proven Track Record

You’ve:

  • Led regulatory advocacy
  • Influenced decisions in RTOs, ISOs, or FERC
  • Navigated complex policy environments

Communication

Ability to translate: Technical reality → Policy language → Political outcomes

Bonus Power Moves

  • Experience with energy storage procurement
  • Understanding ELCC frameworks
  • Exposure to long-duration storage policy design

Reality Check

This role is:

Political
Technical
Strategic

You will:

  • Negotiate with regulators who can stall entire markets
  • Compete with entrenched energy incumbents
  • Operate in ambiguity where rules are still being written

Why This Role Matters

Energy transition is not blocked by technology.

It is blocked by:

  • Market rules
  • Regulatory inertia
  • Misaligned incentives

This role exists at that exact friction point.

Compensation Insight

This is a top-tier climate role financially.

Base salary alone puts it in the upper bracket of energy policy careers, plus:
