Business Development – Freelancer in France (climate-tech start-up)

Intro Your role Your qualifications Benefits exnaton is a startup, spun out of ETH Zurich, which offers AI software for renewable energy to utility companies. Our software enables energy providers to set up energy communities and smart energy tariffs in their distribution areas. Users of our product can track their energy consumption and buy renewable energy from their neighbors, which makes investing in the energy transition simple and fun! Prosumers, dynamic electricity tariffs, and energy sharing are driving the energy transition and becoming integral components of the decentralized energy world. Our software is a cloud application that processes smart meter data and computes smart real-time prices for locally produced energy which makes renewable energy financially more attractive. End-users receive an app that maps the sources of their energy, making their electricity consumption more understandable. Our team is growing and we are looking for passionate and talented people to complement our team on a freelance basis. We are a diverse team, all driven by the shared goal of using technology to create a sustainable impact in our society. For this specific role, fluency in French is required. About us exnaton is the intelligence platform for new energy – software purpose-built for utilities and energy providers navigating the energy transition. Founded in 2020 as an ETH Zürich spin-off, we enable utilities and energy suppliers to launch and scale next-generation energy products – from dynamic tariffs and energy communities to smart EV charging, prosumer offerings, and local flexibility services – without replacing their existing ERP or billing systems. Our platform gives utilities the tools to let their customers track energy consumption, share locally generated renewable energy, and participate in the energy transition in a meaningful way, turning individual climate action from an aspiration into an everyday reality. Today, more than 50 utilities and energy companies use exnaton to bring innovative energy products to market faster. Our fast-growing team combines expertise in energy, software engineering, product development, and business innovation. We work remotely across multiple countries, with hubs in Zurich, Barcelona, Berlin, Vienna, and beyond. We believe the energy transition requires entirely new digital infrastructure and customer experiences. As energy systems become increasingly decentralized, dynamic, and flexible, utilities need intelligent software to manage complexity and unlock new business models. Our mission is to make the energy transition executable – and to become Europe’s leading software platform for the new energy world. If you want to help shape the future of energy together with us, we’d love to hear from you.
