This role may qualify for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2431 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 57% sure that is the right code. Axle Energy is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 3556 (Sales accounts and business development managers) or SOC 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

About the role
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.

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
- High-level strategy development, defining and executing Axle’s international expansion plans, and assessing the commercial value of new markets and business models
- Diving deep into policy and regulations, understanding how market access works and what needs doing to achieve it
- Developing the zero-to-one of the business through partnerships with key stakeholders. You’ll be jumping on the phone (and eventually, getting on the ground) with grid operators, utilities/retailers and potential clients to create and disprove hypotheses as quickly as possible.
- Building the aeroplane as it flies: getting hands dirty with implementation as each international business scales, scoping and setting up pilots, tracking down partners and building relationships.
You might have previous experience in one or more of the activities above, but we are more interested in your growth potential than your domain-specific expertise. We are looking for people who have built things, developed new relationships, and helped get ambitious projects over the line in complex environments.
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, with total compensation ranging from £75k–£200k (base salary + equity).
We operate with a deliberately flat structure and aim to keep pay equitable across the company, with a 1:1 median ratio between founder and team compensation.
Enhanced parental leave to support you through life's meaningful moments.
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.
The opportunity to directly shape the future of energy markets and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon world.
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’.
