Base pay: £60k-70k Principal level as per our Career Development Framework. Bonus: 10% depending on company performance EMI Share Options: £10,000 We've calculated this compensation in line with our Benchmarking Philosophy . Opportunity for an Associate Director of Research & Insights to join a high-growth technology start-up focused on eliminating fuel poverty and improving living standards in social housing through data insights. Role: Associate Director of Research & Insights Reporting to: Head of Customer Success Location: This is a remote-first role with compulsory attendance of Quarterly Company Offsite days. Our mission: At Switchee, we believe that everyone deserves to live in a decent home and that the environments we inhabit have a massive influence on our ability to enjoy life and prosper. One in five households in the UK live in social housing, a sector with the right values at its core but that has historically struggled to deploy innovations in the home. Many residents still can't afford to heat their homes, and live in cold, mouldy properties they can't be proud of. We believe that radical innovation in internet-connected technology can ensure that every resident, every day, is living in a home that allows them to succeed. That's why our products are built not just on great technology, but on an understanding of what people want from the space they live in. This approach led us to reimagine the most mundane household object: the thermostat, into a product that automatically reduces energy bills, looks great, and offers control to those who want it. We are also revolutionising the way social landlords manage their housing stock with an obsessively tailored SaaS property dashboard and handy alerts on things like when the boiler is going to break.

Switchee has had great success in working with individual Housing Provider departments to invest in and deploy the Switchee solution. However, we have found that the key to Enterprise scale customer relationships is working with, and challenging, the Executive and Senior leadership teams of housing providers from the outset, with genuine insight that helps them understand the challenges they face in delivery of their strategic outcomes. You will need to possess the gravitas to engage with Academics, C-level and deliver thought leadership as a peer at sector events.
