Strategy Associate at Fervo Energy Company – Houston, Texas

The Strategy Associate will be an integral member of the Strategy team, a group that serves as a highly agile, cross-functional support to the business.

• Diving into technical and operational problems alongside engineers, project developers, commercial specialists, and business leaders
• Scoping new challenges as they emerge and developing innovative solutions
• Acting as a highly flexible resource for the company – supporting projects that don’t neatly fit into existing teams but are critical to our success as a company
• Collaborating across disciplines (technical, procurement, commercial, financial, regulatory, people ops, comms, etc.)

Every project will be different, and your success will depend on your ability to learn fast, adapt, innovate, and drive quality outcomes.
