Amber is an entirely new way to buy and sell power, designed for a world powered by renewable energy. We give customers direct access to the real-time wholesale electricity price as it varies every 5 mins and the technology to shift more of their energy usage to the times when cheaper renewables are available in the grid. It’s a cheaper way to buy power, a smarter way to sell power, and the fastest way for Australia to reach 100% renewable energy.
We are a clear category leader in Australia for home battery automation and are growing rapidly (over 90k customers). We have also recently expanded into licensing our core technology to utilities overseas, including a partnership with E.ON Next in the UK.
Amber is backed by top Australian and international investors including Square Peg, Main Sequence, Breakthrough Victoria, Commonwealth Bank, NRMA, Gentrack, ETF Partners (UK/Europe based), and E.ON Next.
We are scaling rapidly and you’d be joining a team of over 200 committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and purpose-driven culture as we transform a major industry.
Our products are reshaping home energy: Amber for Batteries cuts bills by exporting stored energy at wholesale prices of up to $20/kWh, and Amber for EVs enables the cheapest, cleanest charging. In 2026, we will push this even further with our new vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology.
This is a big nine months. In the next quarters Amber will be working to extend our position as Australia's leader in home battery automation, expand our world-leading vehicle-to-grid product, and continue to share our growth playbook with our licensing partners who are some of the largest utilities in the world. We need someone to pick up the reins on brand through all of that, keep the story sharp, and hand back a stronger function than they found it.
You will lead Brand Strategy, Above-the-line, PR & Comms (including Content and Social), Community, and Product Marketing, managing an established team of five, with the ability to bring in freelancers and agencies where you need extra hands. You'll report directly to the CMO and be a strong voice in the leadership group for marketing.
This is genuinely a nine month fixed term parental leave contract, so we cannot promise an ongoing role at the end. That said, Amber is growing and evolving quickly, and we would always be open to exploring future opportunities if there is a strong mutual fit.
🌈 If this kind of work gets you excited, we'd love to hear from you!
We know that no one ticks every single box in a job description, and that's okay. If this role excites you and you feel you could bring value, we would love to hear from you even if your experience doesn't line up 100% with the list above.
At Amber, we believe diverse teams create the best ideas and outcomes. We welcome people from all walks of life and especially encourage applications from underrepresented groups. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone has equal opportunity to thrive regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability.
This is a full-time role to be based ideally from Melbourne, but we are also open to considering the right candidate anywhere within Australia.
We are currently not looking to relocate people for this role, but are open to sponsoring existing candidates within Australia who hold a current working visa.
We are also open to discussing 4 days a week or 9 days a fortnight once you're ramped up, if that's what you are looking for.
Amber is a remote first team; we have an office in the Melbourne CBD, where we work flexibly between the office and home. The vast majority of our team are located in Melbourne. For those based in Sydney, they catch up in a co-working space in the city every now and then, and rest of the locations in Australia work from home. While we don't expect people to attend the office, we do expect that people mostly work in the Melbourne time zone to maximise collaboration.
Our hiring process will be as below:
We promise to be respectful of your time as an applicant while trying to be as thorough as possible in finding the right fit for our team.
Applications will be accepted only from candidates already based in Australia, preferably Melbourne with full working rights!
Shortlisted candidates will be contacted promptly. All other applicants will also be notified of the outcome as soon as possible.
No recruitment agencies please. We've got this! Thank you.
