About Modo Energy

The energy transition is the biggest infrastructure buildout in human history. Modo Energy is the data platform at the centre of it.

We build the benchmarking, forecasting, and valuation tools that the world's most serious energy investors, developers, and operators depend on to make decisions. If a battery gets financed, built, or traded anywhere in the world, there's a good chance Modo data was in the room.

Founded in 2019, we're 80+ people across London, New York, Sydney, and Madrid; $30M Series B, AI-native, and moving fast.

This is a rare chance to join a category-defining company at the moment it's scaling globally.

Recruiting at Modo Energy

Modo Energy is the data and analytics platform for the battery energy storage industry. We help developers, investors, operators, and utilities understand and act on the battery storage markets that are reshaping how electricity systems work.

We're growing fast, across every function, and the bar for who joins goes up every quarter, not down. Recruiting is one of the highest-leverage things happening at Modo right now, and the person in this seat will shape who this company becomes.

The Role

We're hiring a Recruiter to own full-cycle hiring across multiple functions and geographies - commercial, analyst, and operational roles today, with the mix evolving as we scale. You'll work closely with hiring managers and leadership (including direct partnership with our CEO on senior searches).

The best person for this role can map a market, build a real point of view on who's in the top decile of a given talent pool, and run a process disciplined enough to close them - while keeping pipeline hygiene, candidate experience, and hiring-manager communication tight throughout.

What You'll Do

Sourcing and market mapping

Partner closely with technical leadership to deeply understand hiring needs while providing strategic guidance on recruiting best practices
Build and nurture a strong pipeline of talent
Lead strategic sourcing initiatives to engage top-tier, passive candidates across various technical disciplines
Use AI as a core part of your daily workflow: for research, candidate identification, personalized outreach drafting, call summarization, and surfacing signal from messy data. This isn't optional or a novelty at Modo; it's how the role works
Stay on top of market trends, comp benchmarks, and where the talent pool is moving

Full-cycle ownership

Own the entire recruiting lifecycle from intake through offer close, across our functions and geographies
Run intake meetings with hiring managers and interviewers to build a shared, precise picture of the role and evaluation criteria before sourcing starts
Ask first-principles and self-starter questions live in interviews - we're evaluating how people think, not just what they've done
Push back when a search is mis-scoped, surface comp reality early, and turn hiring-manager wishlists into a concrete profile within days
Close candidates who have competing offers - build conviction, sequence references well, and win on substance

Process, tools, and experience

Maintain the ATS (GreenHouse) with real pipeline discipline, so reporting and funnel metrics are trustworthy
Run debriefs after each hire (and each miss) and feed learnings back into how we hire
Own creation of job descriptions and interview scorecards
Manage relationships with our external recruiting agency partners
Deliver a fair, transparent, and fast candidate experience - clear feedback, offers that move in days rather than weeks
Support employer brand work, campus/lateral recruiting events, and other ad-hoc talent projects
Contribute to comp benchmarking and broader improvements to how Modo evaluates talent

What We're Looking For

The Essentials

2+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, somewhere high-growth or fast-paced where the bar was genuinely non-negotiable
A startup background - you know how to hire well without much infrastructure behind you
Comfort using AI in your day-to-day recruiting workflow already, or genuine eagerness to make it core to how you work
Demonstrated closing skill against competing offers
High-agency operating mode: you own outcomes, flag problems early, and don't wait to be told what's next
Excellent written communication - your outbound and candidate updates are part of the work product and should read that way
Comfortable in a fast-moving, high-autonomy, low-process environment across multiple time zones and countries
Based in NY and able to work hybrid, in-office Tuesday–Thursday

Nice to Have

Experience recruiting commercial or GTM roles (AE, AM, CSM) at a high-growth SaaS, data, fintech, or energy company
Experience recruiting analyst or technical roles alongside commercial ones
Experience building or contributing to an AI-augmented sourcing or screening workflow
Familiarity with Greenhouse, plus LinkedIn Recruiter, Notion, and Slack
Experience hiring across multiple countries simultaneously

What Comes With The Role

The salary range for this role is $160-180k

A seat at the table on hiring decisions that genuinely shape the company - not a coordinator role
Full autonomy: we expect people to operate independently within a few months, not to be managed step by step
Direct, honest feedback culture - the best argument wins regardless of seniority
Compensation benchmarked to pay top of your personal market, reviewed twice a year
All employees receive share options
Hybrid working, in-office Tuesday-Thursday, across our London, New York, Madrid, and Sydney offices
A small, high-leverage team where your work is visible and matters immediately

Equal Opportunity & Legal

Modo Energy is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate all candidates on merit and fit for the role, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other status protected by applicable law.

What You Can Expect From Us

At Modo Energy, we believe that exceptional work deserves exceptional reward. We're a high-performance team; ambitious, collaborative, and genuinely motivated by the scale of what we're trying to build.

You'll have real ownership from day one, work alongside some of the brightest people in the industry, and be part of a company that's defining a new category in the global energy market. We're hybrid: everyone works Tuesday to Thursday in office, with Monday and Friday flexible. We offer top-of-market compensation, equity for every employee, and the space to take your career wherever you want it to go.

We're looking for people who want to do the best work of their careers. If that's you, we want to talk.
