Overview

Develop and own your sales pipeline from first contact through to delivery, consistently hitting and exceeding KPIs. Proactively engage customers, explain the benefits of Low Carbon Technologies, and convert leads into signed contracts. Provide exceptional customer service throughout the sales journey and record feedback in our Customer Relationship Management system (CRM). Become an expert in finding customers their perfect solution to future-proof their homes and drive energy independence. Be a sales advocate, showing customers why our technology is the perfect fit in a clear, jargon-free, persuasive way.

Minimum 2 years of telesales experience in a B2C environment. A love of the thrill of closing deals, exceeding targets, and earning impressive commissions. A solution-focused approach and resilience when overcoming objections. Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage your own pipeline, leads, and time effectively. A love of dynamic, active office environments, keeping up with a fast-paced, start-up style business. A desire to build a successful sales career and grow with us.

We’re on a mission to drive the renewable energy revolution across the globe, and we are on the hunt for dynamic, ambitious sales champions to help us brighten the world with our reality. We have taken over the UK energy market, becoming the number one provider, with 8 years of Which? Awards for our exceptional customer service, and we are looking to do the same with our low carbon technologies: Solar, Air Source Heat Pumps, and EV Charging. We’re spearheading the adoption of domestic, renewable energy in the UK and we want you to take the driver’s seat in our Solar or Heat Pump sales teams.

Our smart energy and low carbon heating solutions mean our customers can enjoy clean, green, and cosy homes all year round. When you join us, you’ll be placed within one of our teams selling either Solar or Air Source Heat Pumps. Our leads come from highly engaged customers ready to invest in the Green Mission, so you can be sure our customers are just as passionate about green energy as we are and ready to take the next step. We’re looking for people who are passionate about Octopus’s mission and want to smash sales targets while growing their career with us. You should also have a proven track record of exceptional customer experience, excellent listening skills, confidence over the phone in a B2C capacity, and a hunger to exceed KPIs consistently. 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, our commitment is to provide equal opportunities, an inclusive work environment, and fairness for everyone.

What you’ll do

• Starting salary of £30,000 per year
• Commission structure (£15,000 OTE with uncapped earning potential)
• Equity share options in Octopus Energy
• Octopus Energy is a unique culture. An organisation where people learn, decide, and build quicker. Where people work with autonomy, alongside a wide range of amazing co-owners, on projects that break new ground. We want your hard work to be rewarded with perks you actually care about.
