Partnerships Manager

ABOUT ENODE The grid was built for predictable, centralised power. Today it's absorbing intermittent supply from grid scale solar and wind, alongside dynamic demand from EVs, heat pumps, and home batteries. The missing piece is software that can connect and orchestrate these devices at scale. Enode https://enode.com provides the infrastructure layer that makes this possible. Our Connect https://enode.com/connect API gives energy companies a single integration to 1000+ devices across 80+ brands. Our optimisation https://enode.com/optimize tooling gives energy companies the building blocks to manage those devices locally - think smart charging for EVs. Our Flex https://enode.com/flex product turns those connected devices into a flexible, controllable asset for energy companies. We work with device manufacturers across the energy hardware ecosystem - from EV brands to heat pump and solar inverter producers. Our customers are energy retailers, utilities, and traders building the next generation of energy services. We're backed by Y Combinator, Lowercarbon Capital, and Creandum. The decisions made now will shape how the energy system gets built. We're looking for people who take ownership, move fast, and care deeply about the role technology can play in the energy transition. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR: We're hiring a Partnerships Manager to work closely with the manufacturers (OEMs) whose devices are optimised by Enode. OEM partners are a vital part of Enode’s platform, and how we work with them determines how fast we scale as a company. Enode is partnering with leading automotive, EV charger and solar & storage companies, e.g. VW Group, Zaptec and Solis. You'll sign new partners, succeed with existing ones, improve our product, and shape the playbook we use to do it. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in early-stage ambiguity and problem solving. You’ll be working directly with Henrik, Enode’s Head of Partnerships, and work closely with our CEO and leaders across GTM and Product. Partnerships is a small senior team of four people, and you will directly shape how we operate. In this role, you will: - Source, negotiate, and close new OEM partnerships end-to-end, from first conversation to signed agreement - Grow and retain existing OEM partners, making sure they see real value from working with Enode - Identify and sell new products to OEMs, opening up new revenue streams - Develop and improve the partnerships playbook, including redesigning processes using AI - Represent Enode at industry events, conferences, and on panels - Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, Customer Success, and Operations to deliver on partner commitments and improve our platform THIS ROLE WILL BE RIGHT FOR YOU, IF: To thrive at Enode, you believe the energy transition is the defining infrastructure problem of the next decade. And you want to be the person who unblocks it commercially and technically, not the person who reads about it. You’re motivated by the opportunity of using millions of residential energy devices to stabilise the grid. To succeed as Partnership Manager you are a person who easily builds trust and relationships with a range of stakeholders, from technical product managers to senior business leaders in large, multi-national companies like VW and BMW Group. You should be excited about the opportunity to identify and understand their needs, help the partner and Enode to realise value and high quality integrations. The role will be right if: - You have drive, ambition and passion to build a globally important climate tech business - You are a natural relationship builder and can work with broad range of stakeholders - You are an excellent problem solver and strategic thinker, with the ability to manage complex projects - You have strong negotiation and diplomatic skills - You are comfortable navigating technical, commercial, and legal conversations with a range of stakeholders - You are well-organised and independ
