Who we are - Our Mission

terralayr addresses the massive deficit in global energy storage.
The over-indexing of electricity generation from renewable energy sources leads to large volatility on the energy grid. The main problem is that wind and solar farms are fluctuating and, by definition, unsteady—there is no sun at night, and it is not always windy. This increases the need for flexibility in the form of battery storage systems to balance the grid in times when supply and demand do not match.
By buying and developing grid-scale storage assets and virtually aggregating them across a layer, we are creating the world's first energy cloud. Imagine AWS for energy. Through the flexibility we secure, we can market flexibility-as-a-service and hedging products/power insurance to utilities, SMEs, and industrial players and create virtual storage capacity for PV and wind farms.

What we are hiring for - Your Role

As our Head of People & Culture, you will drive the development and execution of our people strategy—from attracting top talent to building a thriving team culture. Your experience in people management within fast-growing startups or tech environments will help terralayr build a motivated, collaborative, and engaged workforce. By challenging conventional practices and finding innovative approaches, you'll optimize our talent processes, employee development, and organizational effectiveness as we scale. 

You'll join us at an exciting growth stage, with the opportunity to shape our culture, define HR practices, and create the foundation for an exceptional employee experience. 

We're looking for candidates who are passionate about accelerating the energy transition through people-focused leadership.
