About us
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 Accel.

About the role
We’re looking for someone who can build and scale a high-performing finance function in a fast-growing environment. You’ll establish the systems, controls, reporting, and financial infrastructure needed to support Axle’s next phase of growth, while balancing strategic oversight with hands-on execution.
You’ll bring strong commercial acumen and financial leadership, using data-driven insights to inform decision-making, strengthen financial governance, and ensure the business can scale efficiently and sustainably.
This is a broad, high-impact role with significant ownership and exposure across the business, offering the opportunity to shape the financial foundations that underpin Axle’s long-term success. Axle makes money by participating in a range of energy markets, and finance is a core part of our product; it’s not just back-office.

Owning finance-based products, including financing and tolling agreements
Owning financial reporting, monthly close, and performance insights to support strategic decision-making

The opportunity to directly shape the future of energy markets and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon world.
Enhanced parental leave to support you through big life moments.

Hybrid working - We have a dog-friendly office in Farringdon. To maximize collaboration, we ask that you spend 2-3 days a week in the office.
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’.
