Enterprise Account Executive

About Electricity Maps

Electricity Maps is an API platform providing real-time and predictive electricity signals allowing any device to reduce their cost and emissions by informing them about the best time to consume electricity.

We’re, for example, used by Google to change the time and location of their datacenter energy usage, or by Samsung devices in their SmartThings Energy App (read more about our customer stories here). We recently raised €5M to accelerate our growth and are backed by world-class investors with experience from Unity, Zendesk, Datadog, Hugging Face, DocuSign and more.

Note that the role is based in Copenhagen (you should consider relocating: it’s one of the most live-able cities in the world!)

What’s the interview process like?

It starts the same for every candidate: getting to know each during a short intro talk where we will discuss practicalities, cultural fit/add and answer any first questions you might have. Next steps can vary by role, but will include an interview with a focus on the technical requirements for the role, an interview with a focus on team fit/add and cultural fit/add and a founder interview. Other assessments can be part of the process (e.g. a coding interview for an engineer, a portfolio review for a designer, deeper experience meetings for other roles). We prioritize transparency and honesty throughout the process.
