Company overview

Voltility is a market intelligence platform for the people building, powering and financing the energy transition and data centre power markets. We track battery storage and hybrid power projects across the US and Europe, and in 2026 launched data-centre power coverage.

You'll lead the drive for proprietary intelligence, personally and through your team, drawing on a senior network across developers, utilities, offtakers, lenders and advisers.

It's a chance to build and scale a market-leading data acquisition operation.

• Design and run the enrichment layer, so that the team adds context, verification and market detail to tooling output before it moves into delivery
• Manage the data taxonomy and definitions so that journalists, researchers and engineers describe the same thing the same way
• Set and police the quality standard across sourcing, verification, confidence levels and update cadence
• Lead and develop a team of squad leads, journalists and researchers, setting targets for volume, coverage and freshness and reporting against them
