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 Energize Capital and Accel.

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.

We’re looking for someone with strong commercial instincts, a sharp GTM mindset, and the ability to operate comfortably in technical conversations.
