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 50k 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 180 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 $19/kWh, and Amber for EVs enables the cheapest, cleanest charging. In 2025, we will push this even further with our new vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology.
About the Role
At Amber we believe that enabling a culture where everyone at Amber is set up to do the best work of their lives and feels connected and supported is one of the most important things we can do to ensure Amber’s long-term success.
Want to help improve the environment by shifting the worlds energy usage towards renewables?
We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer (Growth) to own and drive customer growth, activation, and retention across Amber’s digital experiences.

You’ll bring experience designing at speed in a growth environment, turning insights into action and experimentation into impact.
This role is suited to a growth-minded senior product designer who thrives in fast-moving, data-informed environments and is comfortable making judgment calls in ambiguous problem spaces. You’ll combine strong product design craft with an experimentation mindset, balancing speed with quality while shipping, measuring, and iterating at pace.
The role involves working closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Marketers, and Analysts to identify high-leverage opportunities and turn insights into measurable outcomes, whilst also being part of a broader Product Design team, contributing to design quality and output beyond your immediate stream.
Amber is reshaping how people buy and use energy, giving customers real-time access to the renewable grid and helping them shift energy usage to when it’s clean and affordable. We’re building the products that accelerate the transition to 100% renewable energy at scale.
