Axle Energy is building software infrastructure for the decarbonised energy system, controlling hundreds of thousands of energy assets including vehicle charging, heating systems, and home batteries. The company operates at high speed in a legacy industry, backed by leading investors including Energize Capital and Accel.
You will lead Axle's international expansion strategy, assessing future markets and business models from first principles. This is a full-stack operator role combining strategic thinking, commercial acumen, and hands-on execution.
Key responsibilities:
- Develop and execute Axle's international expansion plans, assessing commercial value of new markets and business models
- Conduct deep-dive analysis of policy and regulations to understand market access requirements
- Build zero-to-one business through partnerships with grid operators, utilities, retailers, and potential clients; validate hypotheses rapidly through direct engagement
- Execute implementation as international operations scale: scope and set up pilots, identify partners, build relationships, and get hands dirty with operational details
- Process highly technical information, identify commercial opportunities, and drive market entry at speed
You will work in a deliberately flat organizational structure, with the opportunity to repeatedly deliver first-of-a-kind projects globally, become a domain expert, and work at the cutting edge of electrification. The role is based in London with hybrid working (2-3 days/week in office near Farringdon).
Requirements:
The posting emphasizes growth potential over domain-specific expertise. Ideal candidates have demonstrated experience building things, developing new relationships, and delivering ambitious projects in complex environments. Previous experience in one or more of the core activities (strategy, policy analysis, partnerships, implementation) is valuable but not required. The company is particularly interested in candidates motivated by the climate/energy mission who may not fit traditional role stereotypes.
