About Ember
We're building the future of public transport — convenient, affordable, connected and zero-emission. Our goal is to make it easier and more enjoyable to get from A to B with Ember than it is with your own car.
Ember is a tech company, not a traditional bus operator. We've built a platform that coordinates our entire operation – everything from monitoring vehicles and controlling chargers to selling tickets and calculating ETAs. This allows us to use electric buses more intensively than anyone else in the world, leading to a massive reduction in emissions. It also helps us provide a much better passenger experience, with innovative features like demand-responsive stops.
We’re still tiny, with a handful of routes and 38 buses. The challenge is to scale this 100x whilst staying lean, increasing efficiency and delivering an even better product experience. We’ve raised equity from some of Europe’s leading climate VCs and are looking for mission-driven individuals who want to get on board and help take us to the next level.
The role
We're looking for the right person to lead and inspire our Driver and Hub Support teams in Dundee. You'll be working across all aspects of the business, leading the largest team in Ember’s current network structure, as well as working closely with our other hubs and our Edinburgh HQ teams.
The role will touch all aspects of the business, and you'll be confident in recruiting, managing and retaining the strongest driving team in the area, as well as helping us to establish and refine the Ember Hub blueprint which will be rolled out in locations across Scotland over the next 12 months.
A primary goal is that each of our 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.
You'll be very at home with taking local responsibility for the day to day success of our 24/7 service in Dundee, and will have a technical curiosity that helps you to play a key part in the growth story of a public transport company with 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.
