About the company:

We're on a mission to make a big green dent in the universe by building a truly sustainable energy system globally.

That means making power greener, smarter, and more affordable for everyone.

We put customers at the heart of everything we do: with always-fair prices, transparency and outrageous customer service.

Octopus Energy Group is made up of 10 businesses spanning 6 countries across 3 continents, including: Octopus Energy Retail, Kraken Technologies, Octopus Energy Generation, Kraken Flex, Octopus Electric Vehicles, and the Octopus Centre for Net Zero. More on OEG @ octopusenergy.group

This could not be a better time to join Octopus Energy. We are already recognised as a global leader in the fight to decarbonise the planet by revolutionising what’s possible in energy - including investments in renewable energy supply, renewable energy generation, smart energy networks, EVs, heat pumps, etc. The government's new green initiatives and the recent investment by Al Gore’s Generation Fund will propel us further and faster.

There has never been a more important moment to join our credit risk team. The energy sector is going through a period of once-in-a-generation volatility. Businesses and households are facing higher energy prices than they ever have before. For these reasons we are looking to add to our credit risk team with this new role. This team sits at the heart of everything we do to support customers that are struggling with their bills. We’re unique because we are genuinely a hybrid of a few different skills and mindsets: 

1. Data analytics is our core skillset. Everyone in the team is very strong in this area
2. We have a firm understanding of the needs of our customers and the business
3. We work closely with the tech team, because we’re a tech company, so this how we solve customer problems, efficiently at scale
4. We work closely with our operations teams who are the people that speak directly to customers

What you'll do

  • Take ownership of our management of customers who are struggling with their payments
  • Deep dive investigations into data in order to surface insight for decision making
  • Develop our reporting suite through the latest BI tools & technology stack
  • Develop our empathic approaches towards vulnerable customers
  • Create strategies to identify and prevent first party and third party fraud
  • Develop our machine learning models & policies that drive sophisticated decisions 
  • Proactively identify new areas of opportunity 
  • Challenge the status quo in terms of KPIs, objectives & strategy
  • Communicate complex data concepts effectively and confidently 
  • Build great relationships with Data Science, Technology, Finance, Collections, Ops and other stakeholders
  • What you'll need

  • Excellent SQL skills
  • A drive to solve problems using data

  • What would be a bonus:
  • Python data science stack (pandas, NumPy, Jupyter notebooks, Plotly/matplotlib, etc)
  • Familiarity with Git 
  • Data visualization tool (Tableau, Looker, PowerBI or equivalent)
  • DBT
  • 2-5 years experience of consumer credit risk or collections in the financial services, utilities or telecommunications industries
  • Why else you'll love it here

  • Wondering what the salary for this role is? Just ask us! On a call with one of our recruiters it's something we always cover as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary. The reason why we don't advertise is because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn't apply to Octopus - what's more important to us is finding the right octofit!
