United KingdomHybridFull-time

AI Summary

Analytics engineering leader who will own and scale Octopus Energy's analytics platform, driving technical innovation, standards, and adoption across global teams. Leads 3-5 engineers with a product-minded approach to data products and AI tooling.

About this role

Over the past ten years, Octopus Energy Group has expanded from a UK startup to become the UK's largest energy provider and a global leader, serving over 10 million customers across 8 countries.
We’re starting up a new Analytics Platform team to drive the data strategy across our global business.
About the role
At Octopus we’ve developed data & analytics platforms to power our businesses around the world. We embed automation across all our data workflows – from ELT, to machine learning, to natural language query for thousands of data-hungry users. This supports work across the whole energy domain, from measuring performance of our green energy generation assets to processing trillions of device readings for innovative smart tariffs.
We’re looking for an analytics engineering leader to own the next iteration of our platform and drive its adoption globally. You and your team will be responsible for technical innovation, setting standards, and enabling users who generate insight from data.
The role requires someone who can pair deep technical expertise with a product mindset, and help our Analytics Engineering teams deploy data products that scale.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work on data, analytics and AI problems that genuinely move us closer to Net Zero with a company that is passionate about building great technology to change the way customers use energy.
Please note, this role is hybrid (2-3 days a week) from our London office.
