Customer Operations Specialist - Devices Team
Amber is an entirely new way to buy and sell power, designed for a world powered by renewable energy. We give customers direct access to the real-time wholesale electricity price as it varies every 5 mins and the technology to shift more of their energy usage to the times when cheaper renewables are available in the grid. It's a cheaper way to buy power, a smarter way to sell power, and the fastest way for Australia to reach 100% renewable energy.
We are a clear category leader in Australia for home battery automation and are growing rapidly (close to 100k customers) . We have also recently expanded into licensing our core technology to utilities overseas, including a partnership with E.ON Next in the UK .
Amber is backed by leading Australian and international investors , including Square Peg, Main Sequence, Breakthrough Victoria, Commonwealth Bank, NRMA, Gentrack, ETF Partners and E.ON Next. Most recently, Amber raised a $78.5 million Series E , led by 1GT, Morgan Stanley Investment Management's climate tech fund , alongside participation from existing investors.
We are scaling rapidly and you'd be joining a team of close to 250 committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and purpose-driven culture as we transform a major industry.
Our products are reshaping home energy: Amber for Batteries cuts bills by exporting stored energy at wholesale prices of up to $20/kWh, and Amber for EVs enables the cheapest, cleanest charging. In 2026 , we will push this even further with our new vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology .
About the role
As a Customer Operations Specialist, you'd be working in a small but growing team, and helping to build Amber's ambitious vision. You'll be learning a great deal about how a modern,

- Provide clear, customer-friendly guidance on best practices for battery usage, e.g. when to engage manual controls, how to optimize for cost savings or export earnings, how to manage battery reserve for backup vs export, and implications of firmware/compatibility/integration status.
