Company Overview

Axle Energy Ltd

London, United Kingdom

2023

Approximately 50 employees in London, United Kingdom (source: axle.energy)

What They Do

Axle Energy is focused on building the infrastructure for a decarbonised energy system by developing advanced energy flexibility software that connects distributed energy resources such as EV chargers, home batteries, solar systems, and heat pumps in customers' homes (source: axle.energy). Their platform enables households and asset owners to participate in electricity flexibility and grid services markets, which were traditionally accessible mainly to larger energy users, thereby democratizing access to these markets (source: welcometothejungle.com). Axle’s software offers multiple operating modes, including one that pays customers £1 per kWh exported when the grid requires support, and a fully optimized mode that uses tariff data and usage patterns to minimize energy bills by intelligently managing battery charging and exporting (source: youtube.com). The company supports popular hardware brands such as Fox, Give Energy, Sig Energy, Solax, and Solace, ensuring broad compatibility without requiring customers to change their energy suppliers (source: youtube.com). Currently focused on the UK market, Axle Energy is actively expanding into other European countries, leveraging lessons learned from its UK operations to scale its platform internationally (source: youtube.com).

Projects & Track Record

Axle Energy has demonstrated significant impact through its activation of over 2,000 home batteries on 1 December during a critical grid event, helping to keep fossil fuels off the grid and returning more than £26,000 to battery owners (source: axle.energy). This event, described as the "grid's hour of need," involved linking these batteries to flexibility markets including the Dynamic Flexibility Service (DFS), showcasing Axle’s ability to mobilize distributed energy resources at scale (source: axle.energy). The company’s platform currently connects over 15,000 flexible assets, reflecting rapid growth and adoption of its technology (source: welcometothejungle.com). Axle is actively preparing to open projects across various European countries throughout the year, using its UK experience as a foundation for broader continental expansion (source: youtube.com).

Recent Developments

In August 2024, Axle Energy successfully closed a $9 million seed funding round to fuel its European growth ambitions, following an earlier $1.6 million seed round in June 2023 (source: welcometothejungle.com). The company has been actively hiring in London across multiple functions including engineering, commercial, customer support, and people operations, signaling a strong growth trajectory and scaling efforts (source: accel.com). In early 2026, job postings highlighted the need to build a repeatable commercial motion to expand customer adoption and commercialize flexibility at scale (source: accel.com). Additionally, salary guidance for software engineering roles ranged from £60k to £120k with equity options, reflecting competitive compensation in a hybrid work environment (source: climatetechlist.com).

Working There

Axle Energy offers a dynamic startup environment headquartered in London, with roles spanning engineering, commercial, operations, customer support, and people functions (source: axle.energy). The company emphasizes a mission-driven culture focused on building infrastructure for the decarbonised energy system, with software designed to significantly reduce CO2 emissions and energy costs (source: axle.energy). Employees benefit from a fast-paced atmosphere that prioritizes rapid product shipping and scaling a repeatable commercial engine, reflecting the company’s growth stage and climate-tech focus (source: climatetechlist.com). The company’s hiring activity and job descriptions indicate a collaborative culture with opportunities to contribute across multiple early-stage functions within a single city location (source: ashbyhq.com).

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

This role is for someone who can drive go-to-market success and build a repeatable commercial motion as Axle grows.

You'll help customers adopt our technology, commercialise flexibility across their customer base, and expand usage over time. You'll be expected to move quickly, remove friction, and adapt processes pragmatically rather than getting stuck in bureaucracy.

  • Owning new customer acquisition end-to-end, from first conversation through to commercial close, setting our partners up to generate meaningful revenue (bonus points if you can do this in multiple languages)
  • Driving go-to-market execution with partners, including value propositions, pricing considerations, customer segmentation, and launch strategies
  • Acting as a commercial bridge between partners and internal teams, translating market and customer insights into clear product, pricing, and GTM inputs
  • Building and refine scalable sales and partner processes that support repeatable growth across different customer segments
  • Tracking performance, pipeline, and outcomes, using data to prioritise effort and continuously improve commercial effectiveness

Benefits

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'.
