About the company
Sunsave offers a “solar subscription” that bundles rooftop solar and battery installation with financing, monitoring and maintenance, aiming to remove the upfront cost barrier for UK households. Sunsave says the company was founded in 2022 by co-founders Alick Dru and Ben Graves. The business sits across consumer tech, home energy installation operations, and regulated consumer finance, with FCA-authorised entities listed in the company’s legal disclosures. In July 2025, Sunsave announced new funding to scale the subscription model.
Locations and presence
Sunsave is London-based, with roles frequently listed as Soho and a strong in-office expectation for many positions. The company operates nationally through UK-wide home installations delivered via partners.
Palpable Score
64.9
/ 100
Sunsave has hired into entry and junior operations and sales roles with clear pay ranges and equity, which is a real signal for early-career access in a climate tech startup. The score is held back by uneven hiring experience signals, including candidate reports of long feedback loops after take-home tasks, and limited public detail on structured onboarding and early-career retention.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

13.8
/ 20
  • The company has hired for entry/junior roles like Operations Associate with “desirable but not required” experience language and a defined compensation band.
  • Sunsave has also recruited junior commercial support roles such as Sales Operations Associate, which is a common early-career entry point because it builds customer and process skills.
  • The company’s current visible openings are thinner for 0–3 year candidates, with roles like GTM & Strategy Lead leaning toward experienced ownership even when tagged “junior and mid level.”

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

11.8
/ 20
  • The company publishes multi-stage interview flows in job adverts, including a CV interview, a take-home case study with follow-up, and a team meet stage.
  • Sunsave describes concrete hiring fairness steps such as bias-checking job descriptions and using skills-based assessment where possible.
  • The company has public candidate reports of cancelled or late interviews and slow feedback after a ~3 hour task, which reduces confidence in consistency.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

13.5
/ 20
  • The company frames junior ops roles around real responsibility, like improving internal tooling and processes and joining cross-functional workstreams with sales.
  • Sunsave positions the culture around learning through iteration, with explicit language about being allowed to make mistakes and improve systems as the company scales.
  • The company does not publish a specific onboarding plan, buddy system, or manager coaching cadence for early-career hires, so support likely varies by team.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

13.8
/ 20
  • The company has advertised salary bands for junior roles such as Operations Associate (£30–35k) and Sales Operations Associate (£25–35k), plus equity and bonus, giving early-career candidates a usable benchmark.
  • Sunsave lists a benefits baseline that includes private health insurance, mental health support, a monthly wellness budget, enhanced parental leave, and flexible working.
  • The company does not consistently publish pay for every role, including some newer commercial leadership postings, which limits pay transparency.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

12.0
/ 20
  • The company publicly shares fast internal progression stories, including an Operations Associate moving to Senior Operations Associate within 9 months and then Ops Manager after a further 10 months.
  • Sunsave also cites a Sales Specialist progressing to Sales Development Manager within 6 months, which is a meaningful signal that junior commercial hires can grow in responsibility.
  • The company’s LinkedIn footprint shows a small team scale with limited public early-career cohort data, and the company does not publish retention or promotion-rate metrics, so outcomes are hard to verify beyond selected examples.
