About Modo Energy The energy transition is the biggest infrastructure buildout in human history. Modo Energy is the data platform at the centre of it. We build the benchmarking, forecasting, and valuation tools that the world's most serious energy investors, developers, and operators depend on to make decisions. If a battery gets financed, built, or traded anywhere in the world, there's a good chance Modo data was in the room. Founded in 2019, we're 80+ people across London, New York, Sydney, and Madrid; $30M Series B, AI-native, and moving fast. This is a rare chance to join a category-defining company at the moment it's scaling globally. At Modo Energy, we're building the global standard for benchmarking and valuing the world's electrification assets: batteries, solar, wind, and data centres. Our mission is to make the energy transition understandable, and we believe great design is core to that mission. We want complex information to feel simple, elegant, and a joy to use. The Role We're looking for a Designer to join our London team and work across both marketing and product design. This is a generalist role; one week you might be designing a landing page, the next you're designing UI for The Modo Energy Terminal platform or creating assets for a conference stand. We move fast and have strong product opinions; what we need is someone who can bring those to life beautifully, and over time help us raise the bar on craft and design thinking across the company. You'll sit within the Product Operations team as an early designer hire, with direct cross-functional touch points across product and engineering. This is an entry to mid-level role with real room to grow: Modo is still early and the design function is being built, which means your work will have outsized impact from day one. What we're looking for * A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional visual taste: clean layout, typography, composition, and modern interface design * Strong Figma skills * Comfortable working across both marketing and product design * Fast, autonomous, and able to context-switch between different types of work * A genuine eye for detail and a high personal bar for quality * Enthusiasm for learning about energy and the world of BESS, solar, and wind - no prior knowledge needed Nice to have * Experience designing data-rich interfaces or dashboards * Motion design or micro-interaction experience Important Details * The salary for the role is ~£45k, subject to experience. * We're an in-person company. Everyone works in the office Tuesday–Thursday, with flexibility on Mondays and Fridays. * We move fast and expect a lot - but we're building something genuinely important and the work shows it. Modo Energy is an equal opportunity employer. Contact careers@modoenergy.com if you need any accommodations during the application process. What You Can Expect From Us At Modo Energy, we believe that exceptional work deserves exceptional reward. We're a high-performance team; ambitious, collaborative, and genuinely motivated by the scale of what we're trying to build. You'll have real ownership from day one, work alongside some of the brightest people in the industry, and be part of a company that's defining a new category in the global energy market. We're hybrid: everyone works Tuesday to Thursday in office, with Monday and Friday flexible. We offer top-of-market compensation, equity for every employee, and the space to take your career wherever you want it to go. We're looking for people who want to do the best work of their careers. If that's you, we want to talk.
