Universe Energy
Chief of staff
Universe Energy, Los Angeles, California, United States, 90079
We are Universe Energy, and we are the battery dismantling and repurposing company.
The world needs 2 billion batteries by 2050, but we need to mine 30x more, leaving a $10 Trillion supply gap. We first collect, dismantle, and sort used battery packs 95% cheaper and 7x faster with robotics and AI for EV makers and fleets. We then take care of used batteries by remanufacturing and repurposing them, which helps these customers to make hundreds of millions in revenue instead of paying for recycling. Our mission is to unlock reused batteries as the primary source for the next 100M batteries to power a truly clean energy revolution and reduce 6 Giga tons of CO2 by 2050.
Job Objective
You will help shape go-to-market strategy and analyze scenarios for sourcing used batteries from suppliers and selling them to end-users as grid batteries. Your responsibilities include:Developing financial & economic models for battery manufacturers, repurposers, and recyclers.Shaping customer profiles, quantifying pain points, and growing funnels in grid storage, EV car makers, and recyclers.Crafting scenarios to define products and business models based on available battery volumes, grid storage pricing, and critical materials markets.Tracking developments in the state-of-the-art of battery models, architectures, and cells.Working closely with the Head of Business Development and cofounding team on go-to-market strategy, business development, and ramping up operations.
How You Will Contribute
Perform strategy analyses to define the go-to-market strategy, run value chain analyses, quantify business models, and size markets for testing batteries, repurposing used batteries, and reselling raw materials.Quantify the supply side for sourcing used batteries and demand for reselling batteries and materials.Run financial models and size markets of battery manufacturers, recyclers, and raw material refiners.Integrate and synthesize databases about mineral supply & demand, battery pack capacity & pricing, and end-of-first-life volumes.Model environmental impact in energy, CO2, and fresh water in mining, processing, producing, and shipping batteries.Analyze macroeconomic trends, regulations, and grant programs in the EU & US markets on energy markets, raw materials, and battery demand.Perform competitive landscaping of technologies, markets, and research groups in battery reuse and recycling.
The Skills & Experience That You Bring
At least a B.Sc. in physics, engineering, mathematics, economics, or finance.MBA program or M.Sc. in business, quantitative economics, finance, or operations.2-3 years of experience in strategy consultancy applied to product development, manufacturing, operations, or supply chain domains.2-3 years of experience in business or operational roles within high-growth startups or scale-ups in climate-tech, battery & EV space, supply chains & automation/manufacturing.2-3 years of experience in building analytical models in Excel, SQL, and Python.2-3 years of experience in financial modeling, cash flow projections, unit economics, market sizing, value chain analyses, and impact analyses.Fluent in presenting data and insights in compelling slide decks.
