Edinburgh, Edinburgh, United Kingdom Ember Core Ltd Full time

We're building the future of public transport — convenient, affordable, connected and zero-emission. Our goal is to make it easier and more enjoyable to get from A to B with Ember than it is with your own car.

Ember is a tech company, not a traditional bus operator. We've built a platform that coordinates our entire operation – everything from monitoring vehicles and controlling chargers to selling tickets and calculating ETAs. This allows us to use electric buses more intensively than anyone else in the world, leading to a massive reduction in emissions. It also helps us provide a much better passenger experience, with innovative features like demand-responsive stops.

We're still tiny, with a handful of routes and 38 buses. We've raised equity from some of Europe's leading climate VCs and are looking for mission-driven individuals who want to get on board and help take us to the next level.

As the Head of Network, you'll be designing and optimising our route network across the UK and eventually further afield. That means going deep on Google Maps, getting out in the real world to scope out ideas, engaging with local communities, researching existing transport alternatives and figuring out what's possible with our existing fleet/charging infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and optimise our route network across the UK and eventually further afield.
  • Go deep on Google Maps and research existing transport alternatives.
  • Engage with local communities and figure out what's possible with our existing fleet/charging infrastructure.

Requirements:

  • Strong academic background.
  • Excellent data skills.
  • A passion for transport or travel.

As well as a salary of £70,000 - £110,000 per annum, depending on your skills and relevant experience, you'll also be granted share options through an EMI scheme. We support diversity across our team and customers, and we work to ensure every employee feels respected and able to give their best, whether temporary, part-time or full-time. We're happy to offer flexible working patterns where they make sense, are compassionate when it comes to time off and offer enhanced maternity and paternity leave.
