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 100+ people across London, New York, Sydney and Madrid; $30M Series B, AI-native and moving fast.

• Comfortable generating pipeline through a combination of inbound leads, outbound activity, networking and events.


• Experience using CRM platforms such as HubSpot or Salesforce.


• Experience using AI tools to support prospect research, outreach, account planning and sales productivity.


• Energy market experience is beneficial but not essential.

• Loves sales and genuinely enjoys the challenge of winning new business.
