Sales Executive, Sunsave

Very exciting to be part of a business that's growing so quickly - lots of change and opportunities to do new things. Lots of variety!

Sunsave has hired some very smart people, so whoever you're collaborating with you're bound to learn a lot. Each person is a proper expert in their field.

Even though everyone is so experienced, building a new business from scratch comes with lots of brand new challenges, especially one that's so disruptive to the industry.

Our mission is to make solar accessible to all in the UK. I love that I get to have a great job and work on something that really matters to me. Making solar affordable is the most effective way to increase adoption rather than relying on good will alone so I think we're taking a smart approach to the problem.

A wide variety of disciplines are required to implement our product and its a privilege to work with such a wide variety of capable individuals all bringing their various expertise to bear on the problem. It's much more interesting than working in a team that relies primarily on one area of expertise (e.g. software engineering).

I feel my opinions are valued at all levels of the company. Whenever I speak to the founders I'm struck by their genuine desire to listen to what I have to say. It's usually them asking me the questions and listening carefully rather than them talking at me. They want to have a diversity of views in order to arrive at the best conclusions and this is reflected in the company culture they've created where everyone is heard.

As we face the pressing climate challenges of the 21st century, Sunsave stands out with its unique mission to make the UK a greener, more sustainable place. As both an employee and an advocate for the Earth, there's no greater motivation to drive our work forward!

Working in a high-potential startup means continuously building and pushing our boundaries into new territory. Every step forward brings its own challenges, driving us to grow and innovate every day.

With trust at the heart of Sunsave's values, our leaders are committed to being open and transparent about our goals, our current progress, and the steps needed to achieve success.

From Heads of Department to Co-founders, you can see a really high level of leadership skills across the team. Honesty and communication are valued as well as transparency. I feel motivated, inspired and encouraged by managers and co-founders, even when workload and pressure are high.

We are literally starting from scratch, which means there is a lot of manual work that needs to be automated by building processes, systems and tools. However, at Sunsave, no idea is dismissed or shut down, as we are constantly encouraged to fail and learn from those mistakes so we can continue learning and developing our problem-solving skills.

It is not easy to find a company that recognises great work as well as Sunsave does. Everyone across the organization makes sure to highlight your accomplishments and praises your hard work weekly, if not daily.

We are very mission-driven at Sunsave, we want to tackle climate change & help UK households save on their electricity bill by making solar more affordable, the customer journey less fragmented & more transparent. Every day, we work to achieve this meaningful goal & every sale we make, we help save the planet.

Every single person at Sunsave is very motivated, curious & ambitious! It's really stimulating to work with smart people, you learn & grow so much every day. My colleagues are very supportive, always keen to transfer their knowledge & expertise, I really feel valued & listened

Sunsave is a VC backed startup. We are growing fast & this couldn't be a more exciting moment to join our team! With energy costs increasing & the geopolitical challenges of climate change, solar has never been more attractive today. If you join our team, you will see how a business is created from scratch & you will have a direct impact in the growth of the company!

Everyone is aligned to the mission at Sunsave. We are all trying to disrupt the residential solar and storage industry to make solar accessible to all households in the UK and help the UK meet its climate goals.

One of the core values at Sunsave is transparency and honest communication. We believe that is how people can get the best out of each other and we can most effectively solve problems.

Sunsave is growing really fast at the moment and we hope to only accelerate this next year. We are investing in all areas of the business and things are developing almost weekly which is very exciting to be a part of.

Since I met the Sunsave team, right the way through the hiring process to my first day, without fail everyone I have met has been cheerful, helpful and very engaging. Alick and Ben (co-founders) are both very driven and really friendly, which is hugely reflected in their leadership team and their hiring choices across the business.

The mission at Sunsave is critical, helping consumers take back control of their energy bills and accelerating the journey to net zero. These are not easy objectives, but everyone on the team is truly motivated by them and clearly cares about the impact of their work. Knowing you are surrounded by like-minded individuals is inspiring and motivating!

On your way into the company it is really clear just how important creating a learning culture is to SunSave. No matter your experience or role, everyone is encouraged to embrace a growth mindset and continually develop themselves.

We're very early days at SunSave, and we're putting in the work now to establish a diverse team. We're working hard to ensure that we bring on board people from as wide a range of backgrounds as possible.

Simply put, SunSave are building the country's future sustainable energy system. Climate change is the most critical issue facing our generation, and traditional energy networks are not designed to handle the shift to clean energy that is going to have to take place. Solar panels and battery storage are a huge part of the clean energy transition, but the costs make it difficult for many to justify. This is where companies like SunSave will play a vital role. Using storage, solar panels, and smart energy management, combined with an affordable subscription model, we're making solar energy systems accessible to all.

We've got lots to build and a clean slate on which to do it. The solar industry traditionally relies on manual processes, which gives us huge scope for building tools and processes for automation. In addition, the smart energy management aspect of what we're building will require building complex data-driven systems. Last but not least, we want to provide a stellar customer experience, from initial quote generation through to everyday management.
