EnerVenue’s Story:

Named one of the world’s Top Greentech Companies by TIME in 2024 and 2025, EnerVenue builds simpler, safer, and more flexible energy storage solutions for the clean energy transition. Based on technology proven over decades under the most extreme conditions, EnerVenue offers a differentiated stationary storage solution that improves upon today’s alternatives.

Leveraging metal-hydrogen battery technology first developed by NASA, EnerVenue’s differentiated offerings are ideal for large, stationary energy storage applications requiring robust performance, like utility power and data centers, harsh desert environments, remote projects, and for customers seeking simple and reliable energy storage options.

After decades of successful deployment in aerospace, and following a materials breakthrough at Stanford University, EnerVenue was formed to commercialize metal-hydrogen energy storage technology for terrestrial applications. The company has offices in the Silicon Valley, California – home to technology innovation, and Changzhou, China – the global epicenter of battery expertise. EnerVenue’s aim is to provide safe, flexible, and reliable energy storage systems that facilitate renewable energy integration and improve grid stability.

Your Mission

The Global Compliance & Product Safety  Lead is the cornerstone of our market access strategy. This role is responsible for building and leading a world-class product compliance program to ensure EnerVenue's energy storage systems meet all mandatory and voluntary requirements in every country we operate. You will be the company's expert, safeguarding our ability to ship and deploy our products globally while mitigating compliance-related risks.

 This hands-on strategic leadership role directly impacts the company’s ability to ship on time, enter new markets, maintain certifications, and protect brand reputation.

Positional Targets and Outcomes

·Strategic Program Development:

• Develop and execute a global product compliance strategy that aligns with EnerVenue's product roadmap and international expansion plans.
• Establish the framework, policies, and processes for managing product compliance throughout the entire product lifecycle, from R&D to end-of-life.

Standards & Regulation Management:

• Serve as the in-house subject matter expert on global product safety, electrical, battery, environmental, and grid interconnection standards (e.g., ASME, PED UL, IEC, UN, CE, UKCA, KC, JIS, FCC, REACH, RoHS, WEEE, CA SB-33).
• Proactively monitor, interpret, and communicate evolving regulatory requirements and their impact on product design, manufacturing, and documentation.

Testing & Certification Leadership:

• Own the relationship with Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs) and international certification bodies.
• Manage the end-to-end product certification process, including pre-testing, test plan development, sample submission, and audit management to secure and maintain necessary certifications (e.g., UL 9540, IEC 62619).

Cross-Functional Partnership:

• Partner closely with R&D, Engineering, and Product Management to embed compliance requirements into the New Product Development (NPD) and Introduction (NPI) processes from the earliest stages.
• Collaborate with Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Quality to ensure compliance is maintained throughout the production process and supply chain.
• Work with Legal and Market Development teams to address country-specific regulatory requirements for new market entry.

Documentation & Governance:

• Oversee the creation and maintenance of all required technical documentation, including Declarations of Conformity, Technical Construction Files, and test report.
• Implement and manage a global compliance database and label management system.

Requirements

• A minimum of 5 years of direct experience in product compliance, regulatory affairs, or certification engineering, with a focus on electrical, battery storage, or power electronics products.
• Proven track record of successfully achieving and maintaining global certifications for complex hardware products (e.g., ASME, PED UL, IEC, CE, UKCA, UN 38.3 for batteries).
• Deep, practical knowledge of key safety standards for energy storage, such as UL 9540, UL 1973, IEC 62619, and IEC 62477-1.
• Extensive experience directly working with and managing NRTLs and international certification bodies.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Electrical, Chemical, or Mechanical preferred). Advanced degree a plus.

Ideal Profile and Competencies

• Strategic Pragmatist: You can develop a high-level global strategy but are equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves to review a test plan or a technical design document.
• Proactive Influencer: You don't just react to standards; you build relationships with engineering teams to design-in compliance and anticipate regulatory shifts.
• Meticulous Organizer: You possess exceptional project management skills and attention to detail, managing multiple complex certification projects across different regions simultaneously.
• Effective Communicator: You can translate complex regulatory language into clear, actionable requirements for engineers and business leaders alike.
• Innovative Problem Solver: You thrive on finding solutions to compliance challenges without compromising product performance or time-to-market.
