More about this role
Endurance is building the world's first modular subsea geothermal power plants, converting vast thermal resources under the ocean into gigawatts of baseload power. Backed by Founders Fund, Felicis, First Round Capital, and Point72 Ventures, our founding team includes veterans from SpaceX, Helion, Blue Origin, and Apple. We have completed multiple deep-ocean deployments to subsea volcanoes and are launching a long-term demonstration project this fall. By leveraging modular design, manufacturing scale, efficient drilling, and latent cooling on the seafloor, we are pioneering a new category of energy that outperforms traditional sources on environmental impact, deployment speed, and cost.
The Policy & Operations Manager is the execution arm for Endurance's highest-priority policy, permitting, and environmental workstreams. You will work directly with the Director of Environmental Affairs and the Director of Policy & External Affairs, taking special projects from a one-line ask to a finished product: a permit application package, a comment letter, a regulatory strategy memo, an agency briefing, a stakeholder engagement plan, or more.
