Customer Success Manager - Climate Tech Startup Enode in Columbus

About Enode

The grid was built for predictable, centralised power. Today it's absorbing intermittent supply from grid scale solar and wind, alongside dynamic demand from EVs, heat pumps, and home batteries. The missing piece is software that can connect and orchestrate these devices at scale.

Enode provides the infrastructure layer that makes this possible. Our Connect API gives energy companies a single integration to 1000+ devices across 80+ brands. Our optimisation tooling gives energy companies the building blocks to manage those devices locally — think smart charging for EVs. Our Flex product turns those connected devices into a flexible, controllable asset for energy companies.

We work with device manufacturers across the energy hardware ecosystem — from EV brands to heat pump and solar inverter producers. Our customers are energy retailers, utilities, and traders building the next generation of energy services. We're backed by Y Combinator, Lowercarbon Capital, and Creandum.

The decisions made now will shape how the energy system gets built. We're looking for people who take ownership, move fast, and care deeply about the role technology can play in the energy transition.

What We're Looking For

Our Customer Success team works with some of the most ambitious energy companies in Europe, helping them bring Enode's infrastructure to life inside their consumer energy products. Those products, and the work of our Customer Success Team, sit at the heart of the energy transition.

We're hiring a Customer Success Manager to work closely with our customers' teams, helping them launch and scale products and propositions that save end users money, balance the grid, and facilitate an energy transition.

We have a small Customer Success Team, which is currently growing due to commercial traction. As an early member of the team, you will have real influence on how our CS function gets built. The playbook for how customer success operates at Enode is still being defined — and you'll be expected to help do so.

In this role, you will:

• Manage a portfolio of prioritised customers, working closely with their product and engineering teams, as well as senior stakeholders. You'll own retention and expansion for your accounts, supported by Customer Engineers, Account Executives, and Enode Product teams.
• Own the full post-sales cycle from product development through to launch and scale, including testing new CS strategies and approaches along the way to drive customer impact.
• Build the Customer Success function at Enode — shaping our approach, processes, systems, and tooling that will define how we operate as we scale.
• Collaborate closely with our product teams to ensure what we build reflects what customers actually need.
• Partner with Sales and Marketing to improve the customer journey from first touchpoint through to long-term success.

This Role Will Be Right for You, If:

To succeed at Enode you should be passionate about our mission to accelerate the energy transition, and excited to roll up your sleeves and take part in early-stage company-building.

• You have 2+ years of relevant experience in early-stage CS at a fast-growing start-up, or applicable experience from management consulting (i.e. with start-up, technology, or energy focus).
• You're comfortable in a customer-facing role and have strong client management skills, communication skills, and the ability to build trust-based relationships at all levels of an organization.
• You have a start-up mindset, with high levels of agency, drive, and ambition.
• You're comfortable in a fast-paced environment with high levels of ambiguity.
• You're entrepreneurial and energized by building from the ground up.
• You're motivated by ownership and the chance for accelerated career growth.
• You're analytically strong and a first-principles thinker — when something isn't working, you diagnose before you escalate.
• You have the ability to work collaboratively in a cross-functional team environment.
• Bonus: Experience from the energy sector and/or API products.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to join and impact an early-stage climate tech startup with global aspirations as we scale.
• A mission-driven, fun, and caring environment with high drive and ambition.
• Competitive compensation, including a very attractive employee option program — you're part of our journey.
• Remote-first in Europe, with the option of attending an office in Oslo or receiving a co-working pass on demand.
• Three annual off-sites to connect with the team in exciting & fun places.
• Flexible, human-first culture.
• Stipend for setting up your home office.

You may just be the right candidate for this or other roles.
