About Octopus Energy and Kraken
Since 2016, Octopus has been on a mission to bring affordable, green energy to the world. With the help of our in-house developed technology platform, Kraken, we’ve become the 2nd largest energy supplier in the UK, opened retailers in 7 other countries, and licensed our software to retail giants including E.ON in the UK and Origin Energy in Australia. Our current clients also include Energy Queensland (Ergon) and Tokyo Gas. We’ve reinvented energy products with smart, data-driven tariffs to balance customer demand with renewable generation - and we’re the biggest investor in renewable generation in the UK.
We've expanded our tentacles and we are now looking for a Senior Client Delivery Lead, ideally based in Melbourne, Australia. We are looking for people with deep industry experience within the Australian energy sector and this role will be working with our APAC clients.

A role with us offers you the chance to contribute to building world-class operations that will catapult you into a fantastic career. Our main hub is in Melbourne but it's not a requirement to work there.
