Job Description

We believe energy should be better - for you and the environment. We're a leading energy technology company providing a better experience for our customers through transparency, honesty and simplicity. Better for the planet, through real long-term investment in renewable generation and a low CO2 future. Better value, by throwing away the old business models of the "Big 6" and instead building a business that's fit for the 21st century. We make energy green and flexible for consumers, with fair and transparent pricing. Through our home developed platform, cloud-based billing, and sophisticated use of data science, modelling and AI, we're redefining what is possible in energy. Our breakthrough Agile tariff has been widely reported as leading the way in energy innovation, and we're passionate about fairness - we were first to uncover the widespread strategy of energy company tease and squeeze pricing and following on from this campaign, our CEO and Founder Greg Jackson presented evidence in favour of capping energy tariff prices before the bill committee in Parliament. We already supply 100% renewable energy to over 1.5 million homes and over 12,000 businesses (including Arsenal Emirates) throughout Great Britain and we're also the supplier behind M&S Energy. We're award winning for our disruptive technology and are delighted to be the only energy supplier to pass the rigorous Which? customer service tests and be their only recommended supplier for 3 years in a row. We also proudly enjoy a 5-star TrustPilot ranking from our customers. We were named the Company that's done the most in the past year to advance UK renewables at the REA Awards 2019, and most recently, our proudest award, that of Best Company to Work For. Our group includes Octopus Energy, Kraken Technology, Octopus Electric Vehicles and Octopus Energy Services. We recently secured over 300 million of investment from Origin, Australia's largest Energy Company, to help us continue our mission. This will help power our growth into new markets, build more tech to make energy greener, and increase our investment in service and growth in our existing markets (the UK and Germany).
