JOB DESCRIPTION
Role Summary
Core Responsibility
Earth Venture Capital is hiring a Head of Science to lead our research strategy and scientific thought leadership—shaping how Earth VC forms conviction, defines investment theses, and communicates science- driven insights to founders, partners, and the broader ecosystem.
You will sit at the intersection of science, industry, and venture: building a clear research agenda across energy and industrial deep tech, translating evidence into sharp narratives, and elevating Earth VC’s credibility in the ecosystem. Technical due diligence and portfolio support are important—but they serve the research agenda, not the other way around.
Research Strategy & Thought Leadership
Identify high- leverage questions and build conviction: technology landscapes, value chains, bottlenecks, cost curves, and scale- up pathways.
Produce decision- ready outputs: thematic theses, deep dives, investment narratives, and internal research briefs that convert science into investable insight.
Own Earth VC’s science- led research agenda across energy, manufacturing, and industrial deep tech.
Represent Earth VC externally through credible scientific storytelling: curated briefings, roundtables, conference participation, and ecosystem positioning.
Ecosystem & Expert Network
Build and maintain strong relationships with universities, labs, professors, and domain experts in energy and manufacturing.
Create repeatable expert engagement loops (expert panels, advisory circles, rapid- response expert calls).
Use the network to surface early signals, validate claims, and strengthen Earth VC’s research outputs and investment conviction.
Technical Due Diligence
Deliver crisp recommendations: go / no- go / what to validate next.
Evaluate TRL, manufacturability, reliability, safety/compliance, and IP defensibility (working with external specialists when appropriate).
Support investment decisions with structured technical diligence when needed: define hypotheses, assess validation data, identify red flags, and propose de- risk plans.
REQUIREMENTS
Must- Have Qualifications (Non- Negotiable)
PhD required in one of the following (or closely related fields):
High standards of scientific integrity and strong judgment under uncertainty.
Materials Science, Battery Science, Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Electrochemistry, Energy Systems, Manufacturing/Industrial Engineering, or adjacent energy/manufacturing disciplines.
Proven ability to conduct rigorous scientific research and synthesis (hypothesis- driven thinking, experimental literacy, critical review of literature/data).
Strong ability to communicate complex science clearly in English (written + verbal), including to non- technical audiences.
Preferred Qualifications (Strong Advantages)
Familiarity with scale- up realities: pilot- to- production, QA/QC, yield, supply chain, reliability testing, safety and compliance.
Experience producing research/thought leadership that influenced decisions (reports, strategy notes, commercialization roadmaps).
Strong networks across academia and industry experts in energy/manufacturing.
Exposure to startups, venture capital, tech transfer, or commercialization.
Graduated from a top university, or substantial international research/work experience.
Skills & Traits We Value
Strong editorial sense: can make research outputs sharp, readable, and compelling.
Structured prioritization in a fast- moving environment.
Ability to turn ambiguity into clarity: what matters, what’s missing, what to validate next.
Entrepreneurial, hands- on builder mindset.
Collaborative and diplomatic across founders, investors, experts, and partners.
BENEFITS
Deep exposure to venture investing and a high- quality network of investors, founders, and experts; mentorship and leadership opportunities.
Standard holidays + annual leave per Labor Code; additional paid leave for well- being activities; hybrid workplace.
Salary negotiable based on candidate ability.
Social insurance, health insurance, unemployment insurance.
