We can't hire everyone… but we can help them shine somewhere brilliant.

At Octopus, we're lucky to attract some incredibly talented humans. And while we can’t bring every talented person into our team, we can help them land somewhere that’s just as mission-driven. That’s why we’re sharing opportunities from MOPO; a company we’ve proudly backed through a strategic investment.

About MOPO...

MOPO is on a mission to enable renewable energy access in underserved markets. Already operating in Nigeria, DRC, Sierra Leone and Liberia, their solar power stations distribute energy through proprietary MOPO Batteries managed by a network of local agents. Their model is already powering thousands of homes and small businesses—eliminating fossil fuel use and enabling livelihoods. With backing from Octopus Energy, British International Investment, and Norfund, MOPO is scaling rapidly and is positioned to transform energy access and e-mobility across the continent.
