Risk and Insurance

Today’s most tomorrow company. 

We built the world’s most powerful battery, the 850MW Waratah Super Battery, and now we need a Risk and Insurance expert to join the team to help us continue to develop our portfolio.

We are leading the energy transition towards a better, brighter tomorrow. The work we do makes a real and very tangible impact on the future of the planet and its people. We’re 200 people around the world with 40 GWh of projects moving through development across Australia, Japan, the US and Germany. 

Akaysha build, own, and operate our assets, we don’t hand a project to someone else once it’s approved. The people who design a battery site are the same people who build it and run it for the next twenty years.

You’ll join our Legal, Risk and Compliance team, and own our Enterprise Risk Management Framework, business resilience planning, and global insurance program. You will also be responsible for driving a risk-aware culture across Akaysha Energy.
