It’s more than a job. It’s our purpose.
We all have different motivations for coming to Octopus, but the best part is working together on one giant goal: decarbonization. Every single task or job is done with this in mind, meaning every day is filled with “work that matters.” We're working to make it possible and affordable for the world to move to 100% renewable energy with everything we do, from creating innovative rates, to working with smart devices and EVs.
Fairer
Clear bills, simple emails, and transparent prices. We look after customers, and fight for everyone: highlighting suppliers' dirty tactics and campaigning for protections like the energy price cap.
Greener
100% green tariffs, generally cheaper than our competitors’ non-green ones. As one of Europe’s largest renewable generators, we operate 300+ green generators like wind and solar farms across 8 countries.
Smarter
Our tech unlocks outrageously good customer service and lower prices. It’s transforming the dinosaur grid into a flexible energy internet, balancing smart cities with power from the wind and sun.
We’ve got an important, urgent mission to bring affordable, green energy to the world, and every person at Octopus works relentlessly to make that change happen fast.
We work with freedom and responsibility. You'll get a lot of trust to run with ideas and take ownership of what you do.
Our founder Greg has a theory that building a great team should be like building a dry-stone wall: rather than forcing people into 'cuboids' and sticking them together in neat little rows, we take authentic humans, and find ways for them to fit together naturally to form a truly solid team full of unique perspectives and strengths. This way of working isn't for everyone. You have to drive your own work forward; be agile, flexible, and personally accountable for everything you do, from idea to conception.
Studies have shown that some groups of people, like women, are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet 100% of the job requirements. Whoever you are, if you like one of our jobs, we encourage you to apply as you might just be the candidate we hire. Across Octopus, we're looking for genuinely decent people who are honest and empathetic.
Our people are our strongest asset and the unique skills and perspectives people bring to the team are the driving force of our success. As an equal-opportunity employer, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected attribute. Our commitment is to provide equal opportunities, an inclusive work environment, and fairness for everyone.
1. Intro phone chat. Our team get to know you in a quick, informal phone call. Usually takes about 20-30 minutes.
2. First interview. Usually an informal meet with your hiring manager either virtually or one of our UK offices. There might also be a short take-home challenge, depending on the role.
3. Second interview. The next stage is a more formal meet, often with two hiring managers.
4. If successful, our talent team will get in touch to offer you the job! They'll talk through the offer, send a formal 'conditional' offer and will prepare your contract.
