UK - Sales & Partner Manager

About iwell
At iwell, we are committed to providing clean and affordable energy for all. We aim for cleaner air, water, and a healthier planet through a sustainable power supply. Frustrated by slow institutional progress, we have taken action to build a sustainable energy infrastructure. By using business as a force for good and integrating sustainable goals with smart battery storage solutions, we are transforming Europe’s energy landscape from centralised, fossil-fuel dependence to a local, clean, and dynamic system—one building at a time. At iwell, we believe that the energy transition should go faster. As market leader in the Netherlands, we set the tone with smart battery systems, and we are expanding this to Germany, UK and Belgium.
