Careers at Sunsave

We’re Sunsave and our mission is to increase access to green energy by offering solar on a subscription basis with no upfront cost. We want to empower customers by helping them reduce their electricity bills from day one saving tens of thousands over the lifetime of our product, and all while contributing to a cleaner, greener Britain. (Which we think is a pretty cool aim).

We’re a small, well-funded and fast-growing start up with a team of experienced industry and sector experts. We’re tech-driven and very ambitious - aspiring to become THE UK market leader in the solar space. However, we’re committed to doing it right. We place our customers at the heart of everything we do and strive to deliver excellence at every step of the process, from procurement to installation, and beyond.

By joining our team at this early stage, the opportunities for progression, growth and career development are massive, and the potential here at Sunsave is huge. However, we know that in order to achieve our ambitious goals, we need a brilliant team. We’re dedicated to building a bright and diverse business, valuing different perspectives and approaches and knowing that we’ll achieve far more together than we ever could alone.

Working at Sunsave

We appreciate that building a truly diverse team means being flexible. We all have different situations and we’re committed to helping everyone have a voice at the table. We support a hybrid/flexible approach but work in the office Monday to Thursday as the norm.

Every day is different at Sunsave. Our mission is ambitious and we’re building from scratch, which means figuring out lots of things and pulling together as a team. There’s loads of manual work that needs to be automated for scale, so we’re building new processes, systems and tools.

Climate change is the most critical issue facing our generation, and we listen to everyone’s ideas. Everyone on the Sunsave team is encouraged to fail and learn from those mistakes, so we can continue learning and developing our problem-solving skills together.

Strength lies in difference

One of our core values as a young startup is that strength lies in difference. We're building a team that doesn't look, feel and think the same way we do. And we have formal processes and measures in place to hold ourselves to account — at every level. This ensures that we don’t just write out values in a document, but demonstrate them every day.

Escape's take on Sunsave

The UK is one of the windiest places in Europe, and yet we still generate less than 10% of our electricity from renewables. If we're going to hit our 2050 net zero target, we need more companies like Sunsave. They are on a mission to make solar accessible to every UK household, and have created Sunsave Plus, which doesn’t require a one-off lump sum. Instead, it’s a subscription where you can pay for solar with a fixed monthly payment. They're also a remote first team, and have some great employee benefits such as team days out, personal development budgets, and flexible working hours - what more could you want?
