Internationale Expansion

Job Description

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

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.

What you will be doing

• 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.

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 Farringdon. 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'.
