Product Manager

We're hiring our first product manager to shape our existing product and figure out new ones.

The electricity grid is changing beyond recognition, and without deploying new software to orchestrate it, we'll be unable to decarbonise.

At Axle, we're building the infrastructure that'll underpin the decarbonised energy system. Our software crushes CO2 and energy costs. Our goal is insanely ambitious, and we're building a team to match the scale of this challenge. We've just raised a Seed round from world-leading investors including Accel (TechCrunch) and we're growing fast.

We make the technology to move energy usage to times when electricity is cheap and green. Our software controls vehicle charging, heating systems, and home batteries. We use machine learning to figure out what energy people will need, and when they'll need it. We control tens of thousands of energy assets, and we're growing quickly.

Axle is a unique startup. We're building in a legacy industry and moving gigawatt-hours of electrons in the real world, but we operate at lightning speed. We ship extraordinarily quickly, and we're experts in electricity systems. We're backed by some of the best investors in the world, and we're growing the team to meet customer demand.

Requirements

Read more about what we're building here.

This is a high-velocity, high-impact role. To succeed, you'll need to learn quickly, absorb technical information, and think strategically.

You'll need to be strong with data, and have a ‘run through walls' attitude to overcome the inevitable barriers. You'll work closely with clients and engineers to figure out what we need to build to accelerate the growth of the company and the decarbonisation of the economy.

You can expect:

• insane amounts of ownership
• to work with engineers who care about real world value
• whitespace to explore new directions in a rapidly growing company
  
  
  

In return, we ask for:

• an intense focus on shipping
• a scrappy, entrepreneurial approach
• deep-seated motivation to combat climate change
  
  
  

It'd be nice if you could bring:

• knowledge of the electricity system
• design skills - we prototype a lot
• strong tech chops; you shouldn't be afraid of digging into the DB
  
  
  

Benefits

We love the idea of fully remote work but it doesn't... work. For very early stage companies, people learn faster, get on better, and accomplish more when they're spending a decent chunk of time together.

• We ask that you spend 2-3 days a week in our London office
• We're looking to pay £50-90k: we're open to talented folks with little or lots of experience. You'll also receive a meaningful slice of equity in the company
  
  

We are extremely keen to build a diverse company, and we're particularly eager to hear from candidates who don't fit the traditional engineering stereotypes. If you're motivated by our mission, please do reach out, even if you feel you might not ‘check all the boxes'.
