Review incoming opportunities and proactively seek new opportunities to determine which conferences and external events warrant Fervo's participation and at what level. Work with conference organizers to secure speaking opportunities and manage associated logistics. Prepare speakers ahead of each engagement, including message alignment, logistics, and rehearsal. Presentation & Materials Development Build and design the slide decks used for conference keynotes and executive speaking engagements. Ensure all external-facing presentation materials are polished, on-brand, and aligned with Fervo's current narrative. Write speeches and build out-of-the-box content to showcase Fervo’s groundbreaking technology and leading market position. Manage version control and rapid turnaround on decks as messaging or events evolve. External Executive Communications Ownership Serve as the single point of ownership for executive-level external communications, coordinating closely with Legal, Investor Relations, and Media Relations to keep messaging consistent. Advise executives on communications strategy and positioning for high-stakes external moments.
