How to Apply for Growth & Content Intern

at Peak Energy

🏢 About Peak Energy

Peak Energy is pioneering sodium-ion battery systems specifically for renewable energy storage and grid applications, positioning itself at the forefront of sustainable energy technology. Unlike many competitors focused on lithium-ion, their specialized approach to sodium-ion chemistry offers potential advantages in cost, safety, and sustainability for large-scale energy storage. Working here means contributing directly to accelerating the clean energy transition with innovative battery technology.

About This Role

This Growth & Content Intern will own the entire content creation lifecycle—from conceptualizing narratives about sodium-ion battery progress to filming, editing, and distributing final video, photo, and audio assets. The role is impactful because it translates complex technical advancements into clear external signals that drive hiring, commercial objectives, and public understanding of Peak Energy's pioneering work in renewable energy storage.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve morning planning for a video project explaining battery progress to commercial partners, followed by filming team milestones in the lab, then editing podcast interviews with technical experts in the afternoon. You'd simultaneously manage version control in SharePoint asset libraries while collaborating with commercial and recruiting teams to ensure content aligns with their objectives.
