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.

We drive system change: with transformative tech to make renewable energy the norm and end global reliance on fossil fuels.

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

After starting a mere 10 years ago, Octopus is the largest energy supplier in the UK. This growth has been possible due to our custom technology, innovative products and obsession with delighting our customers.

Our Industry Operations Data team plays a crucial role in managing internal key data, such as Billing, Metering and Dataflows as well as the data exchanged with industry bodies like OFGEM & DESNZ. They support accurate billing for our customers, respond to RFIs across all business sections, and maintain the smooth operation of our business-critical processes.

We are looking for a data leader to guide this team, using their experience of working in data and regulated environments to ensure the integrity and accuracy of our data, and to identify opportunities for automation.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work on core data problems at a company that is passionate about building great technology to change the way customers use energy and move us closer to Net Zero.

Our process usually takes up to 4 weeks, but we’ll always do our best to flex around what works for you. Along the way, you’ll chat with our recruitment team and your Recruiter will help you throughout different stages. Got any burning questions before then?

Whether you require specific accommodations or have a unique preference, let us know, and we'll do what we can to customise your interview process for comfort and maximum magic!
