Kaluza wants to power a world where net-zero is within everyone’s reach, by building the platform that will accelerate a sustainable, affordable and resilient energy transition. It’s a huge challenge, but often the toughest problems are the most rewarding to solve. Since launching in 2019, Kaluza’s technology has been empowering some of the biggest energy suppliers to better serve millions of customers. From revolutionising billing to smart electric vehicle charging, our real-time cloud platforms transform supplier operations, reducing cost to serve and boosting engagement. And most importantly, they enable suppliers' customers to drive decarbonisation with smart, low carbon technologies. Kaluza is currently in an exciting growth phase, undergoing the next phase of our international expansion in Melbourne to further reinforce our capabilities as a globally distributed energy platform. This means that you would be one of the earliest Kaluza employees on the ground in Australia, working directly with our clients in the region. We're in the early days of building our team and so in-office presence to us is important - working really closely with our clients to forge a strong working relationship. Our team currently works from our office in Melbourne CBD (Spencer St) 2-3 days per week. Our goal is to build a self-sufficient and empowered team here on the ground in Australia.

• Manage regulatory change projects in line with regulator reforms and initiatives

  You’ll effectively communicate regulatory changes and support Kaluza to develop practical and fit-for-purpose solutions to new and emerging obligations, allowing teams to work faster and stretch thinking to shape the future of products being delivered. Alongside excellent energy compliance and regulatory experience the ideal candidate will have a product focused mindset and be able to understand the application of their skills to a SaaS business. |
