Company Description
Zendo is a $2M+ pre-seed London startup building the Energy OS for data centers. Backed by Fly Ventures, Octopus Ventures, and Pact VC, Zendo helps operators unlock stranded power capacity to meet the explosive energy demands of AI compute workloads in an increasingly strained global grid.
Job Description
You will work directly with founders from Octopus Energy, Square, and Meta to scale Zendo’s platform. This high-accountability generalist role spans managing customer pilots end-to-end, defining product requirements, and building the energy services methodology. You will play a critical part in helping data centers safely maximize their power utilization.

Why this role is remarkable
- Work at the intersection of AI and energy infrastructure, solving the critical "capacity crunch" that projects data center power consumption to double by 2030.
- Join a high-pedigree founding team with experience from Octopus Energy, Meta, and Square, supported by over $2M in funding from top-tier VCs and Google angels.
- Gain a ground-floor seat with direct founder access and a clear path to a senior or executive role as the company scales into a category leader.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You Will Do
- Manage active customer Proof of Concepts (PoCs) from initial scope and data collection through to on-site logistics and final project execution.
- Translate customer feedback and operational pain points into technical product requirements, collaborating closely with the engineering team to iterate on the core platform.
- Develop Zendo’s energy services methodology, creating the repeatable playbooks and models needed to deliver commercial outcomes and unlock stranded capacity for customers.
The ideal candidate
- Holds 2-4 years of experience in a fast-paced environment, specifically within the energy sector, power systems, or a high-growth tech startup.
- Demonstrates a "tech-lean" analytical mindset with proficiency in data visualization tools like Python, Tableau, or Power BI to interpret complex energy data.
- Exhibits a strong bias for action and the ability to operate independently in ambiguous environments, managing multiple stakeholders and driving projects to completion.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
