Help us use technology to make a big green dent in the universe!

Kraken powers some of the most innovative global developments in energy.

We’re a technology company focused on creating a smart, sustainable energy system. From optimising renewable generation, creating a more intelligent grid and enabling utilities to provide excellent customer experiences, our operating system for energy is transforming the industry around the world in a way that benefits everyone.

It’s a really exciting time in energy. Help us make a real impact on shaping a better, more sustainable future.

Kraken Customer

What we do: build the most AI-driven, innovative, forward-thinking platform for energy management. From optimizing resources to delivering cost-effective, exceptional customer experiences through advanced Customer Information Systems (CIS), billing, meter data management, CRM, and AI-driven communications, Kraken is powering the next wave of innovation in the energy industry.

Why we do it: future energy will not look like energy as we know it today. We need to not just think about our future, but build for it. Now.

Who are we : Kraken Technologies launched to market four years ago, offering energy utilities one simple end-to-end customer management and local flexibility optimization solution (Kraken) to help them and their customers transition to a decarbonized future. The Kraken platform is effectively the operating system for utilities, at the core of how they run their business.

Octopus Energy Group is a global energy transition company touching nearly every point in the energy value chain. It is one of energy-tech’s fastest-growing private companies, having won innumerable prizes in just 8 years of existence.

Kraken Technologies is growing rapidly, disrupting the incumbent tech landscape, with over 50 million end customer accounts contracted across 9 markets globally and managing the optimization of over 65GW. Kraken has secured licensing deals with large international energy clients to replace their core technology stack and re-image their operations with an unblemished track record of transformation success.

We are tracking toward 100 million customer accounts on the platform by 2027.

Why it matters: There are singular moments in every industry where a tectonic shift reshapes the entire sector and unlocks previously unheard of possibilities. Those moments need leaders and the energy sector is in that moment.

Our Kraken software and operating model enable our energy clients to lead this shift while enhancing their operational effectiveness. The accelerated adoption of Kraken means we need someone to lead major client implementation programs to deliver world-changing results. Are you that leader?

Why else you’ll love it here

- Wondering what the salary is for this position? Ask us! During our initial contact, this is something we always bring up, because we really want to match your experience with the right salary. The reason we don't talk about it here is that we 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!

- Octopus Energy has a unique culture: we won the award for Best Company to Work For in 2022, on Glassdoor UK we were voted one of the 50 Best Places to Work in 2022 and our CEO, Greg, recorded a podcast about our culture and how we empower our employees. In 2023, we were named one of the 100 best companies to work for in the Sunday Times. In France, we were awarded the Happy at Work label, and ranked eighteenth out of a total of 1,675 structures in the category of companies where employees find the most meaning.

- We are an organization where people learn, decide and build faster. Where they work autonomously, with extraordinary people, on innovative projects.
