Since 2015, Octopus Energy Group 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 4th largest energy supplier in the UK, opened retailers in 5 other countries, and licensed our software to retail giants including E.ON in the UK, Origin Energy in Australia and Plenitude across Europe . 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.

Kraken Tech is growing rapidly, disrupting the incumbent tech landscape, with over 50 million end customer accounts contracted across 9 markets globally and manages the optimisation of over 5 GW. 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 end customer accounts by 2027.

The demand for our Kraken software and operating model is also growing around the world. We need someone to lead major client programs to deliver the world-changing results our energy clients are expecting from us based on previous successes.

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.
