Our mission
At Switchee, we believe that everyone deserves to live in a decent home and that the
environments we inhabit have a massive influence on our ability to enjoy life and prosper.
One in five households in the UK live in social housing, a sector with the right values at its core but that has historically struggled to deploy innovations in the home. Many residents still can’t afford to heat their homes and live in cold, mouldy properties they can’t be proud of.
We believe that radical innovation in internet-connected technology can ensure that every resident, every day, is living in a home that allows them to succeed. That’s why our products are built not just on great technology, but on an understanding of what people want from the space they live in.
This approach led us to reimagine the most mundane household object, a thermostat, into a product that automatically reduces energy bills, looks great and offers control to those who want it. We are also revolutionising the way social landlords manage their housing stock with an obsessively tailored SAAS property dashboard and handy alerts on things like when the boiler is going to break.
Our journey:
We may be only 7 years old, but it’s already been quite a ride. Our first product, the connected Switchee thermostat is already in 100 of the UK’s biggest housing providers.
We’re growing 100% year on year and are backed by some of the best-known investors in technology and social impact. We are a small team of 43 passionate and ambitious people driven by a collective desire to make a positive impact in the housing sector, both for residents and landlords.
We are looking for a motivated individual to be an essential part of our team, supporting our marketing efforts and contributing to our mission of improving lives for people living in rented homes.
Your responsibilities:
As part of our marketing team, you will help us accelerate the go-to-market strategy in the UK and as we scale, across Europe. In this role, you'll develop and execute marketing campaigns and promotional initiatives to help us reach new and existing customers with clear and compelling messaging that inspires them to learn about, and adopt Switchee.
You'll work with many teams across the organisation including Product Engineering, Commercial and Customer Success to shape the product roadmap, drive product launches and create the narratives to inspire the social housing industry. You'll have a good sense of overall industry trends, and the competitive landscape, and apply this knowledge to our positioning and business materials.
More of your day-to-day:
- Product positioning and messaging: develop and maintain differentiated positioning and messaging for the Switchee solution which can be used by the marketing team in omni-channel marketing activities.
- Sales enablement: communicate the value proposition of Switchee and work with teams across the business to develop sales tools that support the selling process of Switchee. This includes externally facing content such as presentations, brochures and info-sheets, as well as internally facing content such as market trends.

- Communicate and share knowledge with industry experts and analysts to increase positive brand awareness.
- Support the team by attending events.
We are a company built on a strong technical foundation. You will need to be competent at picking up and explaining technical concepts to customers as well as be able to understand the Switchee’s product and services.
Who You Are:
