Metric Energy is a modern, transparent UK energy brokerage startup built to fix what’s broken in the industry. SMEs are tired of hidden uplifts, unclear commissions, and aggressive sales tactics — so we’re doing things differently.
We’re a transparent, compliant, customer‑first startup, and proud members of the Retail Energy Code and Energy Ombudsman. Our mission is simple: Making energy simple, fair and transparent for UK SME's.
We’re now expanding our field team and looking for motivated Business Development Executives who want to grow with us.
The Role
This is a field‑based lead generation and conversion role with a clear performance structure. You will:
- Visit businesses across London
- Start simple, honest conversations about their energy contract
- Build strong relationships with business owners that last beyond a single transaction
- Gather key details (supplier, contract end date, annual kWh, contact details)
- Log every site visit in our online tracker
- Convert warm leads into signed contracts
- Work towards your North Star metric: converting a minimum of kWh per month
- Deliver monthly performance reviews and make recommendations
What We Offer
- Competitive base salary
- OTE up to £52,000 per annum
- Commission paid only on signed, accepted contracts
- 25 days holiday + bank holidays
- A modern, ethical startup environment
- Clear progression opportunities as we scale
Contract Term — Path to Permanent Role
This position begins as a 3‑month fixed‑term contract so both you and Metric Energy can ensure the right fit. Successful performance during this period leads to a permanent full‑time role with continued salary, commission, and long‑term progression opportunities.
We want people who want to grow with us — this contract is simply the first step.
Our Culture
We operate with three core principles that shape how we work and how we treat customers:
- Integrity & Transparency — honest conversations, clear commission, no misleading claims
- Discipline & Commitment — consistent field activity, accurate tracking, and hitting monthly kWh targets
- Growth Mindset — continuous improvement, learning, and building long‑term relationships with customers
This is the culture you’ll be joining — supportive, ambitious, and built on doing things the right way.
What We’re Looking For
- Confident communicator
- Strong relationship builder — able to create trust with business owners and maintain long‑term rapport
- Highly organised — able to manage daily field activity and maintain accurate tracking
- Comfortable speaking to business owners
- Self‑motivated and proactive
- Able to use a smartphone/tablet/laptop to complete our online tracker
- Basic excel data entry skills
- Field sales or lead generation experience (preferred but not essential)
- Someone who wants to be part of a startup doing energy the right way
