The climate crisis is the defining challenge of our time—but it’s also the greatest opportunity for innovation, and a challenge we’re proud to take on. At Overstory, we’re harnessing cutting-edge technology to enable a resilient electrical grid that keeps communities thriving as our world changes.
The grid is the backbone of life as we know it. It powers hospitals, keeps food fresh, and ensures communities stay connected. But extreme weather, aging infrastructure, and growing wildfire risks are putting this critical system under pressure. All of this combined makes the electric utility industry the greatest opportunity for tackling climate change.
One of the leading causes of catastrophic wildfires and power outages? Trees and brush coming into contact with power lines.
That’s where we help. At Overstory, we use AI and advanced satellite imagery to pinpoint and prioritize vegetation risks before they materialize. By giving utilities critical analysis on those risks, we’re helping prevent outages, reduce wildfire risks, and accelerate the transition to a safer, more resilient grid.
Our team spans the Americas and Europe, and we work with utility partners across the Americas and beyond. We’re outdoor enthusiasts, musicians, artists, athletes, parents, and adventurers—15 nationalities strong and growing. What unites us is a passion for solving complex problems, a commitment to climate action, and the belief that technology should be a force for good.
Join us to help us build a more resilient world together.
Overstory is hiring a senior leader to own and shape our external data ecosystem. This role is responsible for identifying, vetting, and securing the data sources that unlock Overstory’s next generation of products — from vegetation risk and wildfire prevention to storm forecasting.
You will develop a deep understanding of how utilities actually use our outputs and translate that into smart data decisions: what we acquire, why it matters, what capabilities it unlocks, and what economics and quality thresholds we demand.
This is a product role grounded in external partnerships and technical evaluation. You will work at the intersection of innovation, business, and sensing, not as a buyer of data, but as a builder of the data advantage that fuels Overstory’s roadmap.
Success is not “more vendors,” but better decisions — faster, higher-quality innovation and new feature unlocks that matter for utilities.
About you
Why this Role Matters
Overstory’s product leadership depends as much on the data we unlock as the models we build. This role ensures our innovation pipeline is not gated by what the market offers, but driven by what we choose, shape, and integrate.
Data partnerships here are not transactional — they are strategic assets.
You will help Overstory move faster, deliver higher fidelity results, and continuously expand what’s possible in vegetation intelligence and grid risk prevention.
If you don’t meet all of the above yet feel you have lots to offer, please apply anyway.
We are a group of 100 people from all over the world. Fifteen nationalities are represented in our team. We work remotely from nine different countries and we are looking for candidates that are also living and working in one of these countries: United States, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Ireland, Estonia, Portugal, France, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, and Canada. We meet up once a year in-person for our unforgettable team gathering event. We also offer the option to occasionally meet up for in-person collaboration.
We place enormous value on diversity and inclusion and strive to continually bring in people of all genders, races, creeds, ethnicities, abilities and backgrounds. We believe that the best ideas emerge when people with different perspectives and approaches work together on a problem.
We’re always looking to diversify our team further, but we’re proud of the fact that four out of the nine people on our leadership team are female, 46% of the overall team are female and 20% of the team are people of color. Our team speaks fifteen languages: English, Dutch, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Luxembourgish, Lithuanian, Bulgarian, Cantonese, Estonian, Danish and Korean.
We act with urgency.
We recognize that change is constant, and we find joy and power in exploration.
Just as ecosystems need biodiversity to thrive, our resiliency comes from our differences.
We love the power of machines but we nurture each other as humans.
We assume the best in everyone, and we share ideas openly so that we have a positive impact.
