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.\nWe’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.\nWe’re proud to be supported by world-leading investors, including Energize Capital and Accel.\nRead more about what we’re building here.\nWe’re looking for a commercially sharp, highly autonomous operator to drive Axle’s commercial success in the French market.\nAxle has quickly become the leader in our operational markets, and we’re now looking to expand our reach internationally. Our goal is to become the go-to platform for energy flexibility globally, and we’re hiring the person to make that happen.\nThis role will assess Axle’s participation in French markets and business models from first principles: diving deep into regulations, modelling revenue-per-asset, and trialling new propositions at pace.\nYou speak French and fluent English. Other European languages will also be an asset.\nWhat you will be doing\nOwning Axle’s commercial results in the French market: pipeline, revenue and partner success\n\nWinning new customers end-to-end, from first conversation through to commercial close, and setting partners up to generate meaningful revenue\n\nDriving go-to-market execution with partners, including value propositions, pricing, customer segmentation and launch strategy\n\nBuilding the zero-to-one of the business through partnerships. You’ll be on the phone (and eventually on the ground) with utilities/retailers, potential clients and grid operators, creating and disproving hypotheses as quickly as possible\n\nContinuing to sharpen our view of where the value is and which markets and business models are accessible to us\n\nBuilding lasting relationships with grid operators and the regulator, so that Axle is well positioned as the market evolves\n\nActing as the conduit between partners and engineering, creating fast, structured feedback loops that turn field insights into product improvements\n\nAs such, we are looking for a “full-stack operator” who can process highly technical information, ramp up commercial value, and accelerate us into new markets.\nYou might have previous experience in one or more of the activities above, but we are more interested in your growth potential than your domain-specific expertise. We are looking for people who have built things, developed new relationships, and helped get big projects over the line in complex environments.\nThis is an opportunity to deliver first-of-a-kind projects in one of Europe’s most important flexibility markets, become a domain expert, and work at the bleeding edge of electrification.\nWhat’s in it for you\nThis is a 12 month fixed-term contract. Ideally, you would be able to start by February 2027.\nCompensation is highly competitive and dependent on experience.\nWe operate with a deliberately flat structure and aim to keep pay equitable across the company, with a 1:1 median ratio between founder and team compensation.\nBi-annual retreats to strengthen team connection & shared purpose.\nYou’ll be based in the France. To maximise collaboration, we ask that you spend ~1 week per month working from our London office.\nThe opportunity to directly shape the future of energy markets and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon world.\nWe are extremely keen to build a diverse team, 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’.\nInterview process\nInitial interview\n\nTake-home exercise\n\nFinal interview (in-person)\n\nOffer, references, and welcome to the team!","description_format":"text","description_chars":3985,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"French","level":"All levels","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"France","iso":"FR","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy & Utilities","Energy Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-02T12:04:37Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-11-10T13:59:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/axle-international-expansion-5","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/axle-international-expansion-5.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-15T05:14:55Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":262,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":33617},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=33617"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Faxle-international-expansion-5"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Faxle-international-expansion-5"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Faxle-international-expansion-5"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/axle-international-expansion-5\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Faxle-international-expansion-5"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3606924}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"axle.energy","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3606924},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
