Regional Account
Octopus Energy US
Milan, Italy
Posted on Friday, May 5, 2023
Octopus Energy Group has gone from a tiny startup supplier to a global leader. Since just 2016 we've become a global energy tech company launched in the UK and we're now made of 10 businesses, in 13 countries around the world, with over 5 million customers, with 25 million contracted accounts for our entech platform, Kraken. Through that relentless growth we still put customers at the heart of everything we do.
That's how we've got five stars on TrustPilot based on over 100,000 customer reviews and why consumer champions “Which?” have named us a Recommended Provider for the last five years in a row. We've also reached 4.8 on our Italian Trustpilot.
We're fighting to make energy fairer, more affordable, greener and more accessible for all.
We're shaking up the energy market and decarbonising our planet, using technology to unlock the green energy revolution. Our global energy revolution is backed by Generation, the sustainable fund co-chaired by Al Gore.
Octopus Energy Italia is targeting to grow to up to 1 million customers by 2025 - gaining 5% of the market. To do this we need to grow with passionate people to help us do this, we have diverse roles ready to be filled across our Italian teams and need authentic, committed people for a wide range of roles.
We're in a start-up phase which means that you will be able to shape the future of energy in Italy from day one.

We have an amazing opportunity for a Regional Account (Italy-North) to join our commercial team in Italy.
Octopus Energy Services is spearheading the transition to greener and cheaper energy by installing in-home technologies; from smart meters and EV chargers; to low-carbon heating (Heat Pumps), home batteries, solar, and beyond. We deliver smart energy and low-carbon solutions for our customers.
We’ve fallen head-over-heels with heat pumps - which provide an ultra-efficient, reliable alternative to gas boilers.
You will be responsible for delivering the end-to-end sales processes, from surveying the home of the customer, to overseeing the installation of the heat pump and being available for the customer once the installation is terminated. You will help ensure that we can meet the installation specifications for customers progressing through each step of the funnel, providing technical guidance and support to multiple teams throughout the customer journey, helping deliver on our aim of installing thousands of heat pumps into domestic properties across Italy North.
In addition to spreading the Heat Pumps credo, Octopus Energy growth in Italy will also need more and more customers signing up for green electricity supply in their homes.
You will manage our Brand Ambassadors teams in the field and make sure they make our innovative approach to energy accessible to literally everyone, not only to those who are keen “onliners”.
