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.

Octopus Energy Generation (OEGEN) is a leader in sourcing, investing in, and managing a wide range of utility-scale renewable energy assets. As we continue to expand our investment base, we are dedicated to building a diverse team that reflects the communities we serve.

Since our entry into the renewables market in 2010, OEGEN has achieved remarkable milestones, becoming a leading investor in onshore wind across mainland Europe, the largest investor of solar power in Europe, and recently venturing into offshore wind projects. Currently, we manage a global portfolio of over £7 billion in renewable energy assets.

Our operational portfolio consists of more than three hundred large scale energy-generating companies. We take pride in our wind farms, solar power plants, and upcoming projects in energy storage and hydrogen. To support our ambitious growth plans and long-term ownership of energy assets, we are expanding our team.

We are looking for a motivated and proactive individual to join the Fund Management team to support on our investor facing activities and deliverables. You will predominantly be focused on our flagship private fund, Octopus Renewables Infrastructure SCSp (better known as the “Sky” fund) whilst supporting and ensuring synergies and coordination across our broader private institutional funds.

The role will be full-time for a duration of 9 months to cover for a colleague on maternity leave. The role will be based in London, with flexibility and remote work options to accommodate your needs and maintain work-life balance. An average of 3 days a week in the office would be desirable.
