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.
From the Founder
"I care deeply about talent. I will never compromise on the bar. Every bad hire costs us money, time, and reputation. I need a
recruiter who feels the same way — who can spot A-players instantly, say 'no' to mediocrity, and help us scale without lowering
our standards."
The Role
We're a small People team, and we're hiring a Recruiter to help us scale through the next phase. This is a full-cycle generalist
role: you'll own searches across both technical and commercial functions, from sourcing to close.
You'll report to and work directly with the Head of Operations, partnering with hiring managers across engineering, product, pre
and post-sales. This is a real seat at the table: you'll advise on what good looks like, push back when a role isn't ready, and
hold the bar.
What You'll Do

What You Bring

Modo, and there’s a chance that this could grow into a People leadership role.

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. RECRUITING AT MODO ENERGY Modo Energy is the data and analytics platform for the battery energy storage industry. We help developers, investors, operators, and utilities understand and act on the battery storage markets that are reshaping how electricity systems work. We're growing fast, across every function, and the bar for who joins goes up every quarter, not down. Recruiting is one of the highest-leverage things happening at Modo right now, and the person in this seat will shape who this company becomes. THE ROLE We're hiring a Recruiter to own full-cycle hiring across multiple functions and geographies - commercial, analyst, and operational roles today, with the mix evolving as we scale. You'll work closely with hiring managers and leadership (including direct partnership with our CEO on senior searches). The best person for this role can map a market, build a real point of view on who's in the top decile of a given talent pool, and run a process disciplined enough to close them - while keeping pipeline hygiene, candidate experience, and hiring-manager communication tight throughout. WHAT YOU'LL DO Sourcing and market mapping * Partner closely with technical leadership to deeply understand hiring needs while providing strategic guidance on recruiting best practices * Build and nurture a strong pipeline of talent * Lead strategic sourcing initiatives to engage top-tier, passive candidates across various technical disciplines * Use AI as a core part of your daily workflow: for research, candidate identification, personalized outreach drafting, call summarization, and surfacing signal from messy data. This isn't optional or a novelty at Modo; it's how the role works * Stay on top of market trends, comp benchmarks, and where the talent pool is moving Full-cycle ownership * Own the entire recruiting lifecycle from intake through offer close, across our functions and geographies * Run intake meetings with hiring managers and interviewers to build a shared, precise picture of the role and evaluation criteria before sourcing starts * Ask first-principles and self-starter questions live in interviews - we're evaluating how people think, not just what they've done * Push back when a search is mis-scoped, surface comp reality early, and turn hiring-manager wishlists into a concrete profile within days * Close candidates who have competing offers - build conviction, sequence references well, and win on substance Process, tools, and experience * Maintain the ATS (GreenHouse) with real pipeline discipline, so reporting and funnel metrics are trustworthy * Run debriefs after each hire (and each miss) and feed learnings back into how we hire * Own creation of job descriptions and interview scorecards * Manage relationships with our external recruiting agency partners * Deliver a fair, transparent, and fast candidate experience - clear feedback, offers that move in days rather than weeks * Support employer brand work, campus/lateral recruiting events, and other ad-hoc talent projects * Contribute to comp benchmarking and broader improvements to how Modo evaluates talent WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR The Essentials * 2+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, somewhere high-growth or fast-paced where the bar was genuinely non-negotiable * A startup background - you know how to hire well without much infrastructure behind you * Comfort using AI in your day-to-day recruiting workflow already, or genuine eagerness to make it core to how you work * Demonstrated closing skill against competing offers * High-agency operating mode: you own outcomes, flag problems early, and don't wait to be told what's next * Excellent written communication - your outbound and candidate updates are part of the work product and should read that way * Comfortable in a fast-moving, high-autonomy, low-process environment across multiple time zones and countries * Based in NY and able to work hybrid, in-office Tuesday–Thursday Nice to Have * Experience recruiting commercial or GTM roles (AE, AM, CSM) at a high-growth SaaS, data, fintech, or energy company * Experience recruiting analyst or technical roles alongside commercial ones * Experience building or contributing to an AI-augmented sourcing or screening workflow * Familiarity with Greenhouse, plus LinkedIn Recruiter, Notion, and Slack * Experience hiring across multiple countries simultaneously WHAT COMES WITH THE ROLE * A seat at the table on hiring decisions that genuinely shape the company - not a coordinator role * Full autonomy: we expect people to operate independently within a few months, not to be managed step by step * Direct, honest feedback culture - the best argument wins regardless of seniority * Compensation benchmarked to pay top of your personal market, reviewed twice a year * All employees receive share options * Hybrid working, in-office Tuesday-Thursday, across our London, New York, Madrid, and Sydney offices * A small, high-leverage team where your work is visible and matters immediately EQUAL OPPORTUNITY & LEGAL Modo Energy is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate all candidates on merit and fit for the role, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other status protected by applicable law.

About Us You rarely get the chance to change an entire industry. But that's the position we find ourselves in. Join us, and you’ll help scale cures to patients that need them sooner. We’ve developed fully-automated cell manufacturing sites, powered by custom robotics - to scale treatments to millions of patients. Last year, patients were cured of diseases like Parkinson’s and vision loss using stem-cell derived cells - but today these Regenerative Medicines are produced by hand, meaning they’re too expensive and hard to scale. With our automated manufacturing sites, these therapies can now be scaled globally at low cost. We've announced partnerships across multiple therapies so far ranging from Parkinson’s, to hearing loss, to bone repair - and raised $24m to expand into the market faster, and accelerate our development! Within the next 12-18 months, neurons grown on our machines will be going into Parkinson’s patient brains. We’ve assembled a world-class team to take on this challenge, with ex-Dyson engineers and Nature-published scientists working hand-in-hand. You can learn more about your potential Mytos teammates here: Team Mytos is backed by Y Combinator, the most successful startup program in the world which produced companies such as AirBnb, Dropbox, and Ginkgo Bioworks. The Role We’re looking for a smart, analytical Chief of Staff to accelerate us towards our mission. You’ll work with the founders on high-priority complex problems across the company, spanning Recruiting, Finance, new product areas, and Operations. You’ll get to collaborate with our advisors, such as former CFO of Revolut, Head of Technical Recruiting at Monzo, former Director of Manufacturing at Apple, and former VP of Ops at Carbon3D. This unique opportunity will teach you how to build a business from scratch, how to solve absolutely any problem, and the mentality to achieve any goal. Expect to be surrounded by amazing colleagues and have high autonomy in how you go about making your mark.
