Amber is a new way to buy power, designed for a world powered by renewable energy. We give customers direct access to the real-time wholesale electricity price as it varies every 30 mins and the technology to shift more of their energy usage to the times when cheaper renewables are available in the grid. It’s a cheaper way to buy power and the fastest way for Australia to reach 100% renewable energy.

We have recently released our Amber for Batteries product which is helping customers unlock more value from their batteries and drive down their payback periods. Our SmartShift software automates customers’ batteries to charge from cheap renewables and then discharge into the grid when wholesale prices are spiking, allowing individual customers to earn up to $100 in a day by competing directly with large coal and gas generators. Amber’s gives customers more value and more control than the traditional Virtual Power Plant model. We also plan to release an Electric Vehicle charging automation product 2023.

We are growing rapidly and have thousands of customers who love what we’re doing and a great product that will play a significant role in driving Australia towards a renewable future. We are backed by Australia’s leading investors including Commonwealth Bank, Square Peg Capital, Giant Leap (Impact Investment Group), and Black Sheep Capital. We’re now at a critical moment in taking the business to real scale as we disrupt a huge market for the better.

We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and a great culture of people who love coming to work to build a better world. You’d be a part of a rapidly growing team of more than 60 with expertise across energy, technology, marketing, and operations.

Due to the incredible interest from solar and battery installers wanting to partner with Amber to create more value for their customers, we’re looking for a Solar and Battery Channel Business Development Manager to help us grow SmartShift™, Amber’s automated battery optimisation product. We’re looking for someone who understands this channel and the specific needs and goals of solar installers.

As Business Development Manager you’d be working in a team at the cutting edge of new technology, reporting to the GM Special Projects and helping to build Amber’s ambitious vision. Your role will be to drive the development of new solar and battery installer partnerships that will underpin the growth and promotion of this product. By scaling this high-priority channel, your work will contribute to driving the renewables transition, while benefiting customers and the grid.

Specifically, you'll be an organised self-starter, analytically-minded and confident communicator (written and verbal) and relationship builder. You’re familiar with Australia’s energy market and virtual power plants. Ideally, you have in-depth knowledge of the Australian solar market including key players, brands and organisations. You’ll work closely with all teams across the business, from marketing, product, operations, exec, and with external partners, to help grow Amber’s battery automation product in line with the objectives of the retail business.
