Help us make a big green dent in the universe. We're on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution, and we need loads more people to help us make our vision a reality.
At Octopus Energy for Business (OEB) we help UK small businesses flourish. Our smart green energy products bring together amazing levels of customer service, fair and transparent pricing, and innovative tariff structures, to turbocharge the SME sector’s transition to net zero and cheaper bills. To us, small businesses are the heartbeat of British society and communities, and we are passionate about supporting them and seeing them succeed.
We are on a rapid growth trajectory, radically disrupting the business energy market for the better, just as we’ve done with household energy. Due to our growth (+100% in the last 12 months), we now have a scale that requires a more accomplished approach to data across all areas.

- Use data to identify growth and innovation opportunities for OEB
- Use analytics to measure the effectiveness of campaigns and product trials
- Improve and maintain the accessibility of all BI metrics to OEB’s leaders
- Set the agenda and lead improvements in how OEB accesses, stores, analyses, displays, and uses data
- Build tools that can be 'self-serve' for team members with frequently-repeated tasks
- Manage OEB’s small team of data analysts and support the development of their technical data skills, across Python, SQL, and spreadsheet programmes
- Support the development of a data specialism within our customer operations team
What you’ll need:
- To have an accomplished skillset in Python, SQL, and spreadsheet programmes
- A high level of data literacy and numeracy skills
- The capacity to make sense of lots of data and shape it into a coherent story
- The ability to build and maintain reports and dashboards using BI tools such as Tableau
