Job description

Octopus Energy has exciting opportunities to join our field sales team as an Venues Sales Representative. We’re changing the landscape of traditional field sales and marketing and re‑inventing customer interactions. We’re focused on making energy greener and better, for everyone.

We put our customers first and are looking for amazing people to help us do that!

You’ll be at the frontline of our brand and as such, you’re responsible for showing the best of Octopus Energy and all we have to offer the public!

What you’ll do...

• As a Venue Sales Representative, you’ll be out and about, engaging face‑to‑face with customers – whether at events, retail spaces, or door‑knocking in local communities – to promote our energy tariffs and low‑carbon technologies like solar panels, heat pumps, and electric vehicles. If you love meeting new people and making a real impact, this role is for you!
• Our Energy Helpers help introduce these local communities to Octopus Energy as a preferred potential supplier by comparing service and products with other energy companies. This helps potential customers make an informed choice on whether they’d benefit from switching to us for their energy supply at their homes.
• Your role will be to ensure every conversation you have delivers outstanding customer service.

What you’ll need...

• No sales experience is necessary, we will help you with that! But if love engaging and exciting customers, have plenty of confidence and enjoy delivering excellent customer service, we want to hear from you!
• High energy and the ability to confidently communicate with potential customers.
• Experience in a customer‑centric setting where you have come up with quick and effective customer solutions.
• The ability to work collaboratively with your team in order to influence and inspire.
• Clear communicator with a focus on listening and attention to detail.
• Honest, focused, and committed to delivering the highest levels of customer service.
• A driving licence and car in order to travel to all our different venues situated across the locations.
• We typically work 5 days out of 7 each week, usually 9‑5 or 10‑6 with some weekend work as these tend to be our busiest days.

Why else you’ll love it here

• £26,300 salary year + upcapped and unlimited commission (expected OTE of £15,000 with our top performers earning over £20,000 per year).
• Octopus Energy Group 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! We won best company to work for in 2022, on Glassdoor we were voted 50 best places to work in 2022 and our Group CEO, Greg has recorded a podcast about our culture and how we empower our people. We’ve also been placed in the top 10 companies for senior leadership.
