About the role
Company overview
Voltility is a market intelligence platform for the people building, powering and financing the energy transition and data centre power markets. We track battery storage and hybrid power projects across the US and Europe, and in 2026 launched data-centre power coverage.
Following new investment we're growing the team quickly, so this is a chance to join early and help shape the business at an exciting time.
Role overview
The Data Centre Journalist breaks the stories that matter in the US data centre power market. You'll build a network across the market and land news on sites, deals and power arrangements before they are public.
At Voltility, every scoop is a data point: a campus moving to a new utility territory, a signed power agreement, an energisation date slipping. Your intelligence goes straight into the data our customers rely on, not just a headline. Writing is short-form; the real output is verified information that gives subscribers an edge.
Key responsibilities
- Build and work a network of sources across hyperscalers, colocation operators, developers, utilities, state and local officials, brokers and advisers
- Chase and land scoops on data centre sites, power procurement, utility agreements, interconnection and energisation timelines
- Verify information to Voltility's sourcing standard before it is used, and record source, date and confidence
- Work daily with the wider team to decide what to chase and adapt outbound efforts to what sources are saying
- Pass leads, rumours and partial information to researchers for follow-up and QA
- Attend industry events, utility and public meetings and site visits to build relationships and pick up intelligence
- Write factual items for the platform and newsletter where they support subscriber value or source relationships
- Protect sources and handle sensitive information appropriately
Suggested experience
- Background as a reporter or researcher covering data centres, utilities or energy infrastructure, with a track record of breaking stories
- An existing network of sources in the US data centre or utility sector
- Comfortable working as part of a wider data research team
- Persistent, discreet and good on the phone
