<div id="block-69f37d96ad0043e9bd9474c4411ecad7" class="notion-text">
<p class="notion-text__content"><span class="notion-semantic-string">Achieving net zero requires a deployment of clean energy technologies at a speed and scale which has no historical precedent. In the transition from fossil fuels to a highly electrified system based on durable metals, the supply of critical minerals is an acute bottleneck.</span></p>
</div>
<div id="block-7492bfe315714c19864845344a7de60e" class="notion-text">
<p class="notion-text__content"><span class="notion-semantic-string">The supply gap is most acute for copper, the backbone of clean electricity across power grids, solar, wind, electric vehicles, and more. These will double copper demand within two decades, reaching 40 million tons /year by 2030 and 57 million tons /year by 2050.</span></p>

<p class="notion-text__content"><span class="notion-semantic-string">Bridging that gap will be notoriously hard. Ore grades now typically contain 10 times less copper today than before 2000. Mining and refining activities are geographically concentrated. Lead times for new mines can reach 20 years. Local environmental impacts should be minimised, especially across waste, pollution and water stress.</span></p>

Founder, Critical Minerals (Mining / Refining / Geology)

<p><strong>Our mission (share it!):</strong></p>
<p>Optiwatt&rsquo;s mission is to reverse global warming through the advancement of electric vehicle adoption and residential electrification. We make home energy usage cheaper, greener, and simpler by building towards the world&rsquo;s largest network of connected and intelligent distributed energy resources to balance the electric grid. Our investors are some of the most active impact investing firms out there, and we hold ourselves accountable to each other and the future generations of this planet. Do you want to straddle the intersection of technology and purpose on our growth trajectory to 1,000,000 connected homes and beyond? We hope so.</p>
<p><strong>Our culture (thrive in it!):</strong></p>
<p>"We're a small team of genuinely ethical people driven by helping others and our planet. And we love our virtual mini-golf tournaments." - Casey</p>
<p>"I love the people here like a family. We work hard and our meme game is strong. It is a flat, collaborative organization, I pitch directly to the CEO and feel heard, even when it's outside my specialty." - Nina</p>
<p>"We love what we do, which makes it feel more like a fun weekend project than work. And after all the features have been deployed, we disc golf." - Danny</p>
<p>"The culture is fun, full of hope and excitement. The office is always full of jokes and discussion about how we can better ourselves and the electric grid." - Ben</p>
<p><strong>Your impact (grow it!):</strong></p>

You will interact with the company&rsquo;s various consumer segments via millions of email, push, SMS, in-app, and live interactions, working alongside a small team of driven software developers, UI/UX design staff, and marketing gurus who are hungry to make an impact on our customers and the planet. You will obsess over customer value and excitement, identifying pain points and addressing our users&rsquo; heartfelt desires through creative touchpoints and thoughtful workflows. You will endeavor to understand the residential electrification market at its core, solve user problems, communicate progress, and overcome roadblocks.&nbsp; Above all, you will live and breathe engagement as a dopamine merchant within our product lines, working to deliver an excited and loyal user base for Optiwatt that will drive quality activations, reduced churn, organic growth, and extended lifetime value for many years to come.&nbsp;</p>

<li>Become a thought leader in the major categories of residential electricity consumption and generation, including EVs, V2G, smart thermostats, HVAC, solar, storage, water heaters, water pumps, refrigeration, lighting, smart plugs, smart panels, smart meters, and many other IoT devices</li>
<li>Expand and reinforce Optiwatt&rsquo;s core value propositions for various consumer segments within your messaging, including but not limited to savings, convenience, insights, and impact</li>
<li>Track, measure, and iteratively improve through relentless obsession with data across web and app platforms, utilizing off-the-shelf tools such as CRMs, CEPs, and CDPs to reduce engineering involvement and deliver unyielding quality at scale</li>
<li>Innovate in the white space of consumer technology by taking advantage of new channels such as live notifications on lock screens, positioning Optiwatt as a cutting-edge platform that takes calculated risks to deliver the best possible user experience</li>
<li>Interface seamlessly within a cross-functional group of rockstars, including a talented team of senior full-stack engineers for product delivery, user success managers for issue resolution, designers for creative testing, and data scientists for measurement</li>
<li>Hire additional product or creative talent as necessary, either external or internal, by making the business case to leadership, structuring the team to perform as a cohesive unit, and reporting on its effectiveness</li>
<li>Continuously improve through feedback, as an individual, team, and organization</li>

<p>We are guided by the conviction that all system transformations are rooted in human transformations. We must continue to bring more diverse people and voices into real conversations to succeed. We know we don&rsquo;t have all the answers; we may not even have all the right questions. But we know that open mindsets drive change, so relationships, people, and trust are at the heart of everything we do.</p>
<p>Do you want to be part of the change?</p>
<p>Systemiq is looking for a Manager/Director with a track record of distinction in professional work. You have proven results in different contexts and are keen to work in a young, entrepreneurial company where you can get involved in a variety of projects, shape the business and make maximum impact. You come with a background in consulting or industry. You are passionate about Systemiq's vision and approach to system change.</p>
<p><strong>Who is leading this change in the Energy Platform?</strong></p>
<p>Partner Eveline Speelman joined Systemiq following a successful career at McKinsey, where she founded and led Sustainability Insights, overseeing the development of models and tools in sustainability. She specialized in developing (country) decarbonization pathways, industrial decarbonization, and broader energy transition. Eveline supported companies and investors to capture opportunities and mitigate challenges related to the shift to a low-carbon energy system and the broader issues related to resource productivity. Eveline brings international experience in advisory, consultancy, and partnership building and co-authored numerous publications.</p>
