People Engagement Partner - Kaluza

Location: London or Bristol

Kaluza’s vision is to help create a world where decarbonization is easy. Born out of the OVO Group, Kaluza is the AI platform powering the future of energy. 

Kalzua provides three energy SaaS products; a retail platform that enables energy suppliers to provide a simple, transparent, reliable experience to their customers; a flexibility platform that uses AI to help people utilise clean energy and cut their costs; and an exciting energy insights product. Our products are built with differentiation in mind, giving developers endless ability to extend our core capabilities.
