How did you first hear about Moixa?

I first heard about Moixa through LinkedIn. I was looking for a new role and was contacted by Moixa’s internal recruiter directly on the platform.

At that time, Moixa was still a start-up and getting in the team at ground zero was really appealing. I was able to make my mark and have the freedom to implement changes to develop the team.

What happens on a typical workday for you?

My working day consists of striving to continuously improve our customer support, solving cases, and building new processes in order for us to deliver an overall better experience for our customers.

Ensuring a smooth end-to-end customer journey is also vital to enable our optimised batteries to support the UK grid for various flexibility services, such as Moixa’s partnership with UK Power Networks to unlock flexibility at a domestic level.

What steps are you individually making towards a cleaner future?

I always try to recycle and not use single-use plastics, and if there is an alternative, I would always try to go for that option. I have also changed my diet by consuming less meat, as well as my transport to work.
