Head of Growth Wanted for Early Stage Rapidly Growing Startup in London.
This is a truly exciting opportunity to join what is going to be an industry disrupting company from the very early stages and lead the growth charge as their new Head of Growth and member of their leadership team.
Switchd is an automated energy switching and green home start-up with a mission to save people time, money and hassle.
