We're a VC-backed, post-Series C climate tech company entering our next stage of growth. We're located in Central Square, Cambridge and are passionate about our mission! This is a great opportunity to work with a team of experienced entrepreneurs creating technology that will really make a difference in the world. Our mission is to reduce global carbon emissions by making homes smart and efficient, and we're looking to make an impact at scale: Sense's technology has the potential to prevent one gigaton of carbon from entering the atmosphere every year.\nCorporate Development Associate\nWe're looking for talented self-starters who want to be part of the energy transformation and are ready, willing, and able to tackle tough challenges and complex technical problems. When you join the Sense team, you're helping us build a cleaner, more resilient future.\nSense supports a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace and is an equal-opportunity employer. We strive to foster an engaging, respectful, and supportive community where everyone feels empowered to do their best work.\nRole Overview\nAs a Corporate Development Associate at Sense, you'll work directly with our CEO, COO, and finance leadership on the fundraising, partnership, and strategic projects that shape the company's next stage. You'll own the operating rhythm behind those processes: keeping the pipeline and trackers current, preparing briefing materials ahead of meetings, attending meetings, coordinating scheduling and follow-ups, getting agreements executed, managing data room access, and project managing diligence requests through to closure. The work is high-exposure and moves quickly, and you'll see how decisions actually get made at the executive level of a company at an inflection point.\nYou should be:\nExceptionally organized, and energized rather than daunted by owning many parallel threads at once. \nComfortable driving a process forward, which includes following up with senior people inside and outside the company until things are actually done. \nA clear and precise writer, able to handle correspondence with external partners and investors without needing it edited. \nFluent in Excel, PowerPoint, Google Sheets and Slides, and comfortable working alongside our finance team on models and analysis. \nDiscreet, with good instincts about confidential and market-sensitive information. \nCurious about how the energy industry works, and willing to learn enough about our technology to prepare materials and organize diligence intelligently. \nInterested in breadth over specialization, and looking for a role where the scope grows with what you can handle. \nReady to work in person with a small team, where the fastest way to solve something is usually to walk over and ask.\nWork Model\nThis position is in-person or hybrid, based in our Cambridge, MA office. The role depends on close day-to-day work with the executive team, so it is not a remote position. Our wider team is a mix of in-person, hybrid, and remote employees.\nRequirements\n2 to 4 years of experience in investment banking, management consulting, private equity, or a comparable analytical and process-driven role, with a degree in a relevant field \nExcellent project management and organizational skills, with a track record of owning trackers, timelines, and follow-ups across many simultaneous workstreams \nStrong written communication, including professional correspondence with senior external contacts \nAdvanced Excel, PowerPoint, Google Sheets and Slides, and Claude skills, and comfort building and maintaining financial models \nSound judgment handling confidential and market-sensitive information \nComfortable working directly with a CEO and executive team, and willing to hold senior people to commitments \nExperience supporting a financing, M&A, or diligence process is a plus\nEnergy industry or climate tech experience is a plus \nAuthorized to work in the US \nCompensation is $100 - 150k\nBenefits\nHealth Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision) Retirement Plan (401k, IRA) Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D) Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays) Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity) Short Term & Long Term Disability Training & Development Free Food & Snacks Wellness Resources Stock Option Plan","description_format":"text","description_chars":4336,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Equity","Life insurance","Parental leave","Retirement plans"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Smart Home Devices","Energy Efficiency"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T10:45:42Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":29,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.527,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":31,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:4","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":150000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sense-corporate-development-associate","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sense-corporate-development-associate.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T21:09:30Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9798,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":176189},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=176189"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsense-corporate-development-associate"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsense-corporate-development-associate"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsense-corporate-development-associate"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/sense-corporate-development-associate\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsense-corporate-development-associate"}]}
