Brand Ambassador (Part-Time)

Welcome to the future of energy
We are both an electricity retailer and a tech platform and we think there is no better way to address our greatest challenge, climate change, than with the combination of those two.

In many markets we are a leading employer on Glassdoor for best places to work.
