About Ember
We're building the future of public transport — convenient, connected, affordable and zero-emission. Our goal is to make it easier to get from A to B with Ember than it is with your own car.
We’ve already demonstrated that it's possible to use electric buses more intensively than anyone else in the world. This leads to a massive emissions reduction and is only possible because we control the full-stack and integrate it tightly together. That includes the tech platform, the charging infrastructure and the vehicles themselves. This also means we’re providing a much better passenger experience with innovative features like demand-responsive stops.
We’ve come a long way but we’re still operating on a micro scale, with three routes and 38 active buses. The challenge is to scale this 100x whilst staying lean, increasing efficiency and delivering an even better product experience. We’ve already successfully raised equity from some of Europe’s leading climate VCs and secured a large debt facility from our ethical banking partner so we’re looking for people who can help us take things to the next level.
The Role
We're looking for a leader to oversee the launch of brand new Ember Hubs in cities across Scotland as we grow and expand our network, and our next step is the opening of an Ember Hub in Inverness in the autumn of 2024.
A primary goal is that each of our new Hubs is genuinely industry-leading in every aspect, and we're looking for a candidate who possesses the right combination of qualities to make that happen. You won't do that alone, but you'll have the innate drive to lead the way in establishing and evolving processes that ensure the very highest of standards and experiences for our customers and our employees alike.
The role will touch all aspects of the business, building and working with the brand new team in Inverness while working closely with our existing Operations and Technical teams in Dundee, Aberdeen and at Ember's Edinburgh HQ. You'll be helping us to establish and refine the Ember Hub blueprint which we'll roll out in locations right across Scotland over the next 18 months.
You'll be very at home with taking lead responsibility for the day to day success of our 24/7 service in Inverness, and will possess a technical curiosity that helps you to play a key part in the growth story of a public transport company that has technology at its very heart.
Diversity and equality
At Ember, we support diversity across our team and customers. We work to ensure every employee feels respected and able to give their best, whether temporary, part-time or full-time. We’re happy to offer flexible working patterns where they make sense, are compassionate when it comes to time off and offer enhanced maternity and paternity leave.

What’s on offer
As well as a salary of up to £70,000 per annum, depending on your experience, you'll be eligible for share options through an EMI scheme.
