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.

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

We’re on a mission to make owning an electric vehicle as smart and as simple as possible, and we need passionate people to help us build the best eMobility brand on the planet.

In just under two years, Octopus Electric Universe has grown to become one of the largest eMobility players in the UK & Europe, with over 320,000 connected electric vehicle chargers and a customer ecosystem spanning web, iOS, Android, CarPlay, Android Auto, and more. 

But it’s just the start: we’re busy launching in new countries, working with more automotive and tech partners, building exciting new features at scale, and creating the charging platforms of the future - all in the name of making public EV charging super simple for customers. 

Electric Universe is a multifunctional team made up of product, development, commercial, operations, partnerships and more - all focused together on making Octopus the name in EV charging. And we’re looking for smart individuals with an interest in the space who can help us make it happen. 

We’re looking for an experienced project manager to help us grow and internationalise Octopus Electroverse - Octopus’s ‘eMobility’ product that’s helping the global switch to electric vehicles by simplifying public charging. 

This role will be responsible for coordinating expansion of multiple business areas, including product, legal, operations, communications, and more. 

More details on the project structure will be provided at interview. 

We’re looking for someone super smart and capable with a solid track record of project delivery. Whilst brilliant organisational skills are of course important, this role isn’t about chasing deliverables every single day - instead we’re looking for a people person who can coordinate across multiple functions and is willing to get stuck in to help move the product forwards. 

Experience in the EV/vehicle/charging markets isn’t required, though an interest in the subject matter is! Experience with international products and operations is a plus. 

Start: Immediate
Location: Central London
Type: Full time, and able to commit to a minimum of two days a week in the London office
Contract length: 6 months with potential to extend further depending on project status
