Rightcharge is a rapidly growing, early-stage startup. If you dream about customer experience and jobs to be done, you could be our Product Designer.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to work in a high-velocity, high-impact environment with a fun and friendly work culture.
👋 The company
Rightcharge is on a mission to speed up the transition to low-carbon living. We build beautifully simple tech that makes it cleaner, cheaper and easier to go green. Our aim is to eliminate 7.5m tonnes of CO2 by 2030 (the same as planting 124 million trees).
We have two products. Both have helped almost 10,000 drivers compare home charge points and connect with our network of installation companies or save over £500 per year by switching to specialist home energy tariffs.
As a result, it took us just two years to become the recommended partner for charge points and tariffs for some of the biggest car dealerships and leasing companies in the UK.
Revenue-generating since launch, we’re now about to take significant investment from people like James Hind, the Founder & CEO of carwow.
