The electricity grid is changing beyond recognition, and without deploying new software to orchestrate it, we’ll be unable to decarbonise.

At Axle, we’re building the infrastructure that’ll underpin the decarbonised energy system. Our software crushes CO2 and energy costs. Our goal is insanely ambitious, and we’re building a team to match the scale of this challenge. We’ve just raised a Seed round from world-leading investors including Accel (TechCrunch) and we’re growing fast.

We make the technology to move energy usage to times when electricity is cheap and green. Our software controls vehicle charging, heating systems, and home batteries. We use machine learning to figure out what energy people will need, and when they'll need it. We control tens of thousands of energy assets, and we’re growing quickly.

Axle is a unique startup. We’re building in a legacy industry and moving gigawatt-hours of electrons in the real world, but we operate at lightning speed. We ship extraordinarily quickly, and we’re experts in electricity systems. We’re backed by some of the best investors in the world, and we’re growing the team to meet customer demand.

Requirements

Axle has quickly become the leader in our operational markets, and we’re now looking to expand our reach internationally.

Our goal is to become the go-to platform for energy flexibility globally, and we’re hiring the person to make that happen.

This role will assess Axle’s future markets and business models from first principles: diving deep into regulations, modelling revenue-per-asset, and trialling new propositions at startup-urgent pace.

This means:

• Defining and executing Axle’s international expansion plans
• Assessing business models, evaluating access requirements/regulation, and modelling value in countless power markets around the world.
• Jumping on the phone (and eventually, getting on the ground) with grid operators, utilities/retailers, partners and prospects to create and disprove hypotheses as quickly as possible.
• Kick-starting Axle’s operations in new geographies: scoping and setting up pilots, tracking down partners, and building relationships.

As such, we are looking for a “full-stack operator” who can process highly technical information, sniff out commercial value, and run through walls to get us into markets at speed.

This is an opportunity to repeatedly deliver first-of-a-kind projects across the world, become a domain expert, and work at the bleeding edge of global electrification.

Benefits

A meaningful slice of equity in Axle, alongside a competitive salary.

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.
