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

At Octopus Energy Services, we’re bringing low carbon technology (LCT) to homes and businesses across the UK. Our amazing team of engineers installs smart meters, heat pumps, solar PV, and EV chargers, helping to transform everyday spaces into greener, smarter homes of the future, all while delivering the top-notch customer service that Octopus is proudly known for. 💚

As we grow (and we’re growing fast), we’re focused on doing things brilliantly today while building the technology and systems that will shape an even better tomorrow. It’s an exciting journey, and we’re only just getting started.

If you’re looking to join a purpose-driven business that is making a big green dent in the universe, and want to do it alongside passionate, curious, and truly lovely people, we’d love to hear from you.

What you'll do...

Lead quarterly forecasting and annual budgeting processes across the division.

Own and continuously develop the financial model.

Drive short- and long-term business planning, ensuring alignment with group strategy and working alongside product-led finance business partners and reporting to the LCT CFO.

Contribute to board packs, monthly reporting, and strategic presentations for stakeholders.

Own and improve divisional cash flow forecasting.

Prepare variance analysis on weekly and monthly cashflow performance against budget.

Support the group head of treasury on divisional treasury strategy and explore financing options (e.g. warehousing facilities) to support growth.

Support the LCT CFO & CEO with strategic analysis

Work closely with Group Finance to ensure consistent reporting and best practice sharing across teams.

What you'll need...

Be excited about tackling the urgent issue of climate change through supporting a high-growth business leading the energy transition; experience in energy would be an advantage but not essential, but a strong desire to learn about the sector today and where it’s going tomorrow is a must

Be able to present complex information in simple ways

Experience in building Excel-based financial models and Powerpoint-based executive packs

Be ready to roll up both sleeves and get stuck into complex modelling but also talk 'big picture' with senior stakeholders that you interact with

Be fast-paced in approach but understand that change in organisation requires engaging with people in different ways

Be curious and open minded

An understanding in business finance and accounting but not necessarily ACA or CIMA qualified if you have the right experience

Experience in investment banking, consulting or corporate finance – especially with board materials or M&A due diligence – is a plus, particularly if paired with time in a fast-growing start-up or scale-up.
