Stay Close to the Customer:Engage directly with customers and internal stakeholders to understand how the product is being used and where it can improve.Develop a working knowledge of energy supply and the UK energy system so interfaces reflect real customer needs.Identify usability issues proactively and solve them without needing heavy direction.

Nice to Have:3-5 years building customer-facing software in a product-led or startup environment.Experience with data visualisation libraries and presenting large, complex datasets clearly.Exposure to Energy, FinTech Utilities, or another technically complex B2B sector.Enough backend familiarity to read APIs, spot schema issues, and work effectively across the stack.Experience setting up a frontend codebase from scratch. What You’ll Get:A highly owned role at the centre of what customers actually see and use.The opportunity to help shape a product from an early stage into something customers rely on.Close collaboration with a small leadership team, with direct input into product direction.The chance to build expertise across energy data, customer software, and product in a growing business.Long-term scope to grow with the company as its customer base and platform expand.
