Freelance Content & Communications Lead (f/m/d) (Stealth AI Energy Venture)

Set up Zeus’ automated content engine and tell our story to the world

Energy markets are volatile, complex, and still running on outdated systems. At Zeus Energy, we are creating the first AI-native full-stack energy supplier—a digital-first platform that helps businesses buy, manage, and optimize their energy with intelligence, speed, and transparency.

We are backed by Merantix, Europe’s leading AI venture studio. At this early stage, getting our story right—and getting it out into the world—is just as important as building the product. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a freelance Content & Communications Lead who can set up and run Zeus’ automated content marketing machine. You’ll shape our narrative, design the workflows, and make sure our story consistently reaches the right people—from SMEs in traditional industries to investors and the broader energy ecosystem:

• Define Zeus’s narrative and tone of voice across all channels.

• Set up a scalable content workflow with automation tools (n8n or similar) to streamline publishing and repurposing.

• Produce high-quality content for LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and our blog, mixing thought leadership with “build in public” updates.

• Develop early customer-facing content (case studies, one-pagers, sales collateral).

• Support external communications and light PR: press releases, founder op-eds, and trade/startup press outreach.

• Manage a small creative budget for design, photography, or video support.

• Coordinate with founders and brand/UI designers to keep story and visuals aligned.

• Establish repeatable content & comms processes that can later be handed off or scaled.

• 4+ years of experience in content strategy, copywriting, or communications.

• Proven ability to simplify complex topics into clear, engaging stories.

• Hands-on experience writing for B2B audiences (SaaS, energy, industrial, or tech).

• Strong skills in social distribution (LinkedIn and Twitter/X especially).

• Comfortable with workflow automation tools (n8n, Zapier, or similar).

• Fluent in English and German

• Impact: You’ll define how the world hears about Zeus from day one.

• Creative freedom: Experiment with narrative, content formats, and “build in public” approaches.

• Support: A budget for supporting creative assets (design, photography, video).

• Collaboration: Work directly with founders, brand designer, and UI/UX designer.

• Flexibility: Freelance engagement over ~3 months, with potential for ongoing collaboration if there’s a strong fit.

We are an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity. We consider all applications equally regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or gender identity. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply.
