About the job

You will be an integral part of the program office, interacting with internal and external stakeholders to create the foundation for connecting the development and industrialization efforts to commercial and financing initiatives.
In the role you will be responsible for creating and maintaining qualitative and quantitative analysis of ongoing efforts within the program, helping in steering the development to success while getting unique insights and learnings in both technical and commercial settings. You will gather and analyze information, formulate and test hypotheses, and develop and communicate recommendations.
We aim to reinvent how batteries are designed, produced and used around a new technology platform. This is stretching from R&D efforts all the way to end-customer value creation and financing strategies. You are expected to be creative in finding solutions to push yourself and your colleagues across the organization to ensure progress and success of the program. You need to be up to speed on constantly changing circumstances and evaluate proposed solutions from different stakeholders, making non-biased decisions that create the most value.

The dedicated core team includes cell design, process and materials engineering, commercialization strategy and factory development, etc. However, this project requires cross-functional contribution across the entire organization which will be a key aspect of this role.
