🌅 About Synth

Synth is a UK-based solar climate tech startup operating at the intersection of technology and operations. Founded at the start of 2024, Synth has already completed over 20 residential and commercial installations, has revenue to date of over £200,000 and is profitable.

Founded by ex-Uber General Managers Tom Elvidge and Max Lines, who after a decade in tech and climate startups were passionate about launching a business to support the Net Zero transition, Synth provides full-service solar design, installation and monitoring, whilst concurrently developing and providing the technology to radically reduce the time and cost associated with the end-to-end process.

Synth supports residential and commercial clients through the complete journey, from initial solar design, through equipment selection, installation and commissioning, system performance monitoring and ongoing support.

We have a firm belief in technology as a critical enabler, and are building proprietary tools to improve customer experience, and radically streamline operations. Within the first four months we launched Synth’s SunMapper tool, reducing the time to receive a solar estimate from days to seconds. This is a UK first in the solar industry - and we are just getting started.

This is just the beginning, we have incredibly high ambitions for Synth and are on a mission to become a UK market leader in renewable energy. Furthermore, we believe that with a clear vision and first-class execution, there will be many more opportunities for us along the way.

🪛 What you’ll be doing

The role will be managing the operations of Synth, including design, procurement and delivery of solar systems for Synth customers.

You will be fundamental to the experience of our customers, installers, suppliers and partners, and will be obsessed with ensuring their experiences is as great as it can possibly be.
