People Ops

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

This role requires someone who can own and scale hiring end-to-end, from building efficient processes, delivering a strong candidate experience, and partnering with our co-founders to align hiring with our growth. We’re aiming to make ~10 hires per quarter this year, so pace and quality both matter.

Axle’s success is directly tied to the strength of our team, and you’ll play a key role in building the pipelines and systems that enable that.

This is a standalone People Ops role, so strong experience across both People and Talent is critical as we scale. Huge plus if you’re an Ashby expert.

What you will be doing

• Owning end-to-end hiring across multiple roles, both technical and commercial, from sourcing and screening through to offer and close

• Supporting the broader employee lifecycle, including engagement, performance, and retention initiatives

• Delivering a high-quality candidate experience while building efficient, scalable hiring processes

• Partnering closely with hiring managers to understand needs, shape roles, and improve hiring outcomes

• Managing onboarding and set new hires up for success from day one

Benefits

A meaningful slice of equity in Axle, alongside a competitive salary. We operate with a deliberately flat structure. We aim to keep pay equitable across the company, with a 1:1 median ratio between founder and team compensation.

The opportunity to directly shape the future of energy markets and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon world.

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.

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’.
