Job description

About Us

At Axle Energy, we’re building the infrastructure that will underpin the decarbonised energy system. Our software moves energy usage to times when electricity is cheap and green, by controlling vehicle charging, heating systems, and home batteries. We control hundreds of thousands of energy assets.

We’re building in a legacy industry and moving gigawatt-hours of electrons in the real world, but we operate at lightning speed, and we’re growing the team to meet customer demand.

We’re proud to be supported by world-leading investors, including Accel.

About the role

This is a wide-ranging role that’ll require you to move at speed across diverse topics; in return, you’ll gain high levels of ownership and exposure. Example topics include:

entering new markets, from research & analysis to planning & delivery
helping our new and existing clients get the most out of our software
exploring and delivering on opportunities for growth in new verticals and customer segments

This is a high-velocity, high-impact role. To succeed, you’ll need to learn quickly, act with purpose, and absorb & process highly technical information. You’ll need to be strong with data, and have a ‘run through walls’ attitude to overcome the inevitable barriers.

You can expect:

insane amounts of ownership
hard operational & strategic challenges
that what you build is commercially and environmentally valuable

In return, we ask for:

the courage to to build new things fast
a commitment to real world impact over perfection
deep-seated motivation to combat climate change

And it’d be nice if you could bring:

knowledge of the electricity system
comfort speaking to clients and other stakeholders
excellent analytical chops

What's in it for you

A meaningful slice of equity in Axle, alongside a competitive salary. We operate with a deliberately flat structure. We aim to keep pay equitable across the company, with a 1:1 median ratio between founder and team compensation.

The opportunity to directly shape the future of energy markets and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon world.

Bi-annual retreats to strengthen team connection & shared purpose.

Hybrid working - We have a dog-friendly office around Old Street. To maximize collaboration, we ask that you spend 2-3 days a week in the office.

We are extremely keen to build a diverse company, and we’re particularly eager to hear from candidates who don't fit the traditional role stereotypes. If you’re motivated by our mission, please do reach out, even if you feel you might not ‘check all the boxes’.
