Job description

About The Role

We’re looking for a creative and pragmatic Electric Specialist to help us solve the hardest customer problems in the EV transition — especially around charging, access, and usability. This is a hands‑on role for someone who thrives on ambiguity, gets energy from problem‑solving, and wants to make a tangible difference to the lives of disabled customers.

You’ll work within one of our electric squads (home charging, public charging, energy or discovery), helping to design and iterate real‑world solutions. You’ll draw on insight, customer feedback and your own curiosity to shape how we respond to unmet needs. This is a role for someone who doesn’t just follow a process — but helps build it.

Key Responsibilities

Customer‑Centric Problem Solving

• Investigate root causes behind customer pain points, particularly around EV charging (home or public), accessibility, and cost
• Identify where existing journeys or products fall short, and design practical, scalable ways to improve them
• Use feedback, data and direct engagement to validate problems and test ideas quickly

Solution Development & Prototyping

• Work closely with Product Owners, researchers and external partners to co‑create new solutions
• Contribute to rapid test‑and‑learn activity — from small experiments to proposition pilots
• Translate ideas into testable processes, journeys, content or services, and help embed them into delivery

Delivery Support

• Provide subject matter input on charging processes, energy systems, or fleet operations (depending on squad focus)
• Work with implementation and data colleagues to assess feasibility, operational fit and customer impact
• Spot interdependencies across squads and elevate where needed to unblock progress.

Learning, Curiosity & Impact

• Continuously build knowledge in your specialist area — whether that’s hardware, customer behaviour, local policy or platform integration
• Share learnings across the wider team to accelerate progress and avoid duplication
• Bring energy and ideas to the team — especially when things are messy or uncertain.

About You

You are naturally curious, outcome‑driven and care about solving real problems — not just optimising processes. You think like a designer but act like a builder. You are comfortable working in ambiguity and get satisfaction from making things better, even if that means starting from scratch.

You have:

• Experience solving customer problems or improving services in energy, mobility, or digitally‑enabled environments
• Excellent problem‑framing and solution‑building skills — ideally in a cross‑functional setting
• Comfort working with data, insight or customer feedback to inform your thinking
• Strong communication skills — you can tell the story behind the problem and why it matters.
• A collaborative mindset and willingness to own delivery, not just ideas.

Minimum Criteria

• Knowledge of EV charging (home or public), energy tariffs, or accessibility policy
• Experience in a startup, service design, field ops, or test‑and‑learn delivery environment
• Understanding of how technology, hardware and regulation interact in energy or mobility systems
