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. Here at Octopus, we’re working hard to reinvent face-to-face activity by combining better customer data with our innovative tech platform Kraken Technologies and local targeted marketing to create more detailed and engaging conversations with customers. You’ll be at the frontline of our brand and as such, you’re responsible for showing the best of Octopus Energy.

• An understanding of sales or customer service.
• Experience in a customer-centric setting where you have come up with quick and effective customer solutions.
