at Amber Electric

🏢 About Amber Electric

Amber Electric is unique as a green energy tech company that empowers consumers to save and profit through dynamic pricing and smart technology, disrupting traditional utility models. Working here means contributing to the clean energy transition while operating at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and consumer empowerment in a rapidly evolving European market.

About This Role

This Strategic Account Manager role involves owning and growing a portfolio of European utility accounts, serving as the primary point-of-contact and trusted advisor to drive measurable value for partners while expanding Amber's revenue. The position is impactful because it directly influences the adoption of green energy solutions across Europe by ensuring strategic utility partners successfully implement and benefit from Amber's dynamic pricing technology.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves virtual meetings with European utility stakeholders across different time zones, analyzing account health metrics to proactively address risks, developing strategic plans for account expansions, and collaborating with internal teams to ensure partners are achieving value from Amber's technology. You'll balance relationship-building with data-driven account strategy while staying current on European energy market developments.

🎯 Who Amber Electric Is Looking For

  • Has 7+ years in B2B SaaS account management with specific experience managing enterprise accounts generating hundreds of thousands in ARR in the energy, energy tech, or SaaS sectors
  • Possesses deep industry knowledge in European energy retail, EVs, emobility, residential batteries, or solar PV with understanding of regulatory trends and market implications
  • Demonstrates proven ability to lead complex renewals and expansions while building multi-threaded relationships across executive, technical, and operational teams
  • Has experience proactively mitigating account risks and managing escalations in a remote, cross-cultural European context

📝 Tips for Applying to Amber Electric

2

Highlight any experience with European utility companies or energy retailers, specifying countries and regulatory environments you've worked within

3

Demonstrate your understanding of dynamic pricing models and how they create value for both consumers and utility partners

4

Showcase remote relationship-building skills with examples of managing complex stakeholder maps across different European cultures

5

Include specific examples of how you've helped clients achieve measurable value from technology implementations, not just maintained relationships
