As Founder's Associate, you will work closely with our both co-CEOs and our Chief of Staff to:
We care more about what you have built and how you think than about which degree you hold. We hire across business, engineering, hybrid (e.g. business-informatics) and self-taught backgrounds — what we look for is the same.
At Flexa, we are committed to diversity — of all backgrounds and experiences. You don’t need 100% of the preferred qualifications to add incredible value to our team. If you’re passionate about what you could accomplish here, we’d love to hear from you.
Sven – Chief of Staff
Hi there!
I'm Sven, Chief of Staff at Flexa, where we are building Europe's largest residential Virtual Power Plant — the AI-driven system that ties together solar panels, EVs, heat pumps and home batteries to help households save money and the grid stay stable. My role sits at the intersection of strategy, operations and execution: I work day to day with our two Co-CEOs to translate company priorities into the people, projects and processes that make them happen.
Before joining Flexa, I spent nearly five years at McKinsey & Company, advising energy-sector clients on high-impact strategy projects from large utilities navigating the energy transition to scale-ups figuring out how to commercialize new technology. Earlier, I studied economics, which shapes how I think about trade-offs, incentives and where the real leverage in a system sits.
At Flexa, we believe innovation happens when talented people are given real ownership and the trust to ship. I aim to create an environment where you can take responsibility, experiment with new ideas and build the things that actually matter.
This role is one I care a lot about. We are tech-heavy in our product but still quite manual in how we run ourselves. You will not be a "tools picker"; you will decide what to build, what to buy and what to leave alone, and you will own the outcome. I will give you direction and context, then get out of your way. Of course, I’m always here to collaborate, brainstorm ideas, tackle tough challenges together, or help clear any roadblocks.
If you are excited about turning a fast-moving company into one of the most AI-leveraged teams of its size in Europe — with a high degree of autonomy from day one — I am looking forward to hear from you.
Sven
flexa is on a mission to build Europe's largest Virtual Power Plant (VPP) in the residential sector together with our partners at Enpal and Entrix.
Our mission is to build and operate a Virtual Power Plant that not only delivers significant energy cost savings but also supports the transition to a 100% renewable electricity future. By offering complete residential energy systems at competitive prices and strategically tapping into multiple revenue streams, we are well-positioned to provide substantial real-world savings to our customers. This approach enhances customer satisfaction as they experience the full benefits of an electrified, energy-generating home.
Through a deep integration into the installed hardware and a direct connection to the customer interfaces, flexa’s AI-based solution controls the energy assets (such as EV, heat pump, home storage, and others) of a decentralized energy community with an exceptional level of accuracy, speed, transparency, and thus customer satisfaction. With intelligent algorithms, flexa maximizes customers’ usable flexibility and its returns on energy markets while considering costs, such as grid fees and asset degradation.
We are rapidly growing our team and are hiring experienced tech professionals interested in revolutionizing the energy sector. We are looking forward to receiving your application!
