Head of Marketing - Brand (Parental/Maternity Leave Cover - FTC 9m)

⚡ About Amber

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 (over 90k 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 top Australian and international investors including Square Peg, Main Sequence, Breakthrough Victoria, Commonwealth Bank, NRMA, Gentrack, ETF Partners (UK/Europe based), and E.ON Next.

We are scaling rapidly and you’d be joining a team of over 200 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

This is a big nine months. In the next quarters Amber will be working to extend our position as Australia's leader in home battery automation, expand our world-leading vehicle-to-grid product, and continue to share our growth playbook with our licensing partners who are some of the largest utilities in the world. We need someone to pick up the reins on brand through all of that, keep the story sharp, and hand back a stronger function than they found it.

You will lead Brand Strategy, Above-the-line, PR & Comms (including Content and Social), Community, and Product Marketing, managing an established team of five, with the ability to bring in freelancers and agencies where you need extra hands. You'll report directly to the CMO and be a strong voice in the leadership group for marketing.

This is genuinely a nine month fixed term parental leave contract, so we cannot promise an ongoing role at the end. That said, Amber is growing and evolving quickly, and we would always be open to exploring future opportunities if there is a strong mutual fit.
