About Amber
Amber is an entirely new way of thinking about buying, banking and selling energy – where home energy technology works to put money back in customers’ pockets and accelerate the renewable energy transition. Everything we build is about making that possible and putting traditional retailers in the shade.
We believe the cheapest, fastest and most rewarding way to reach 100% renewables is to automate the growing wave of home batteries and EVs. Customers get direct access to the real-time wholesale electricity price and the technology to shift energy usage to the times when cheaper renewables are available in the grid and export to the grid at times when the price they can be paid for it is highest.
We are backed by Australia’s leading VCs (including Square Peg Capital, Main Sequence Ventures, Rubio Impact Ventures, and Breakthrough Victoria), impact-focused investors and individuals, and most recently by Commonwealth Bank, NRMA, Gentrack and ETF Partners (UK/Europe based).
We are growing rapidly and have thousands of customers who love what we are doing and a great product that will play a significant role in driving Australia and the world towards a renewable future.
We’re now at a critical moment in taking the business to real scale as we disrupt a huge market for the better. You’d be a part of a rapidly growing team of over 150, with expertise across energy, technology, marketing, and operations. We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and a great culture of people who love coming to work to build a better world.
Amber for Batteries unlocks more value for homeowners with batteries, driving down their energy bills and their payback periods. By storing energy when it’s cheap and exporting it to the grid for wholesale feed-in rates of up to $19/kWh, Amber’s software is completely changing the economics of home batteries and accelerating the energy transition.
Amber for EVs is our EV smart charging solution that helps EV owners save on their charging costs by using more cheap, renewable energy - whether that’s their own excess solar energy, or renewable energy that’s abundant in the grid. In 2026, we are kicking off development of our game-changing vehicle-to-grid technology.
Want to help improve the environment by shifting Australia and the world’s energy usage towards renewables?
About the Role
The Amber Electricity product is Australia's leading electricity flexibility product. We pass-through real-time wholesale electricity directly to customers, allowing them benefit financially while supporting the energy transition.
Our model has proven robust through energy cycles over the last 7 years, but does create unique hedging and risk dynamics (for example our Price Protection Guarantee), as well as more conventional hedging challenges (for example, around environmental certificates price risk management).
The Senior Hedging Manager is responsible for developing and executing risk management strategies to hedge commodity price exposure, particularly for electricity and related energy products. The role requires individuals who have deep understanding of best practices in managing commodity risks, combined with first-principles thinking to design appropriate risk-management strategies for a unique value proposition. The role supports the company’s commercial and financial objectives by ensuring effective protection against market volatility, while complying with regulatory and internal risk frameworks.
\uD83D\uDC49\uD83C\uDFFD Key Responsibilities
Hedging Strategy & Execution
Develop, execute, and monitor hedging strategies to manage exposure to energy market risks (wholesale electricity, renewable certificate schemes, carbon credits, etc.).
Evaluate market conditions, price forecasts, and commercial positions to recommend appropriate hedging instruments.
Develop and manage electricity price hedging strategies (e.g. swaps, caps, floors, options) aligned with our unique wholesale pass through business model.
Maintain and update hedge books in accordance with risk limits and financial policies.
Execute hedging transactions via ASX Energy, OTC markets, or bilateral contracts, ensuring alignment with portfolio and physical positions.
Monitor hedge coverage relative to forecast load, generation, and PPA positions across NEM regions (NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, TAS).
Market & Risk Analysis
Analyse forward price curves, settlement residue auctions (SRAs), and contract-for-difference (CFD) exposures. Conduct scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis, and value-at-risk (VaR) calculations.
Assess the impact of NEM policy/regulatory changes (e.g. 5MS, capacity mechanism reforms) on hedge requirements and strategy.
Track market movements, price curves, and macroeconomic factors impacting energy commodity prices.
Liaise with traders, commercial teams, and risk management to evaluate hedging needs and opportunities.
