⚡About Amber
Amber is an entirely new way of thinking about buying, banking and selling energy where home energy technology works to put money back in customers’ pockets and accelerate the renewable energy transition.
We’re an Australian headquartered company, where we are both an energy technology company and a utility providing energy directly to households and small businesses. In Australia (the world leader on rooftop solar and a 2-way energy grid), we’ve proven that the cheapest, fastest and most rewarding way to reach 100% renewables is to automate the growing wave of home batteries, EVs, and other smart energy devices.
Customers get direct access to the real-time electricity prices and the technology to shift energy usage to the times when cheaper renewables are available in the grid and export to the grid at times when the price they can be paid for it is highest.
We are a clear market leader in energy automation in Australia, and are now partnering with utilities across Europe to bring our technology to European markets and consumers.
We’re at a critical moment in taking the business to scale in Europe. You’ll be joining a rapidly growing regional team of more than 15 colleagues, and be part of a global team of over 150, with expertise across energy, technology, marketing, and operations. We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and a great culture of people who love coming to work to build a better world.
We’re backed by leading VCs in Australia and Europe, as well as impact-focused investors and world-leading energy companies.
💻 About the role
This role sits at the heart of Amber’s mission to accelerate the transition to 100% renewables. You will be joining a passionate, purpose-driven team where your work will have a direct impact on reshaping the energy industry and empowering customers to take control of their energy usage.
As Strategic Account Manager, your mission will be building trusted, long-term relationships with our utility partners, maximising the value they - and their customers - achieve with Amber. Ultimately, you’ll be solving for account growth, retention and expansion.
This is a full-time role to be ideally based in the UK, but we are also open to considering the right candidate anywhere within mainland Europe.
