⚡ About Amber

Amber is a 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’re a clear category leader in Australia for home battery automation and are growing rapidly (over 50k customers). We’ve also recently expanded into licensing our core technology to utilities overseas, including a partnership with E.ON Next in the UK. We are backed by leading VCs (including Square Peg Capital from Australia and Environmental Technology Fund from UK), impact-focused investors and individuals, and corporate partners (including E.ON Next, Gentrack, and Commonwealth Bank).

We’re now at a critical moment in scaling as we disrupt a huge market for the better. You’d be a part of a rapidly growing team of over 170, with expertise across energy, technology, marketing, and operations. We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and a great culture of people who love coming to work to build a better world.

💻 About the Role

As Amber enters its next critical phase of growth, we are looking for a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to partner with the Co-CEOs and executive team. This role is pivotal in navigating the complexities of scaling a high-growth company at the intersection of technology and the electricity markets.

We are currently approaching $20m/year in Net Revenue, with a clear path towards >$100m in next few years (driven by both rapid growth in Australia and licensing technology deals). A rough goal for the role would be to get the financial fundamentals into an “IPO-able” position over this time horizon (even if an IPO isn’t actually a business focus for us).

You will be the financial cornerstone of the company, responsible for leading our financial strategy, engaging with investors, managing risk, and mentoring a high-performing finance team of 6. The ideal candidate is a seasoned finance leader who can blend meticulous financial detail with high-level communication, acting as a trusted partner to the Co-CEOs and a credible representative of Amber to our board and investors. You will be responsible for ensuring the business remains financially robust and resilient to achieve its ambitious mission.

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.

🌈 If this kind of work gets you excited, we'd love to hear from you!

Even if you don’t meet 100% of the requirements listed above, we still encourage you to apply. We're open to all backgrounds and encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply. We never discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status.

✍️ How to Apply

Please include your resume and a cover letter that briefly explains your experience in partnering with CEOs to navigate capital raises, lead finance teams, and manage risk in a high-growth environment.

As this is a critical strategic role for Amber, we plan to run a rigorous (but flexible) process that will likely include some or all of the following:

● A screening call with our talent team.

● An early call with the Co-CEOs (Chris and Dan) about the role and a high-level feel for fit.

● A take-home case study to anchor interview conversations.

● Interviews with members of the finance team, peer executives, and Board members.

● In-depth reference checks with former colleagues.
