Our Mission For You

trawa enables mid-sized companies to access green, intelligent energy. We're growing fast and we need someone who thrives in this environment. As our first dedicated hire in this area, you'll own FP&A. The foundation exists, but there's real room to take ownership, shape, and elevate it across processes, tooling, and strategic initiatives.
