At Octopus Energy, we don’t just do traditional job specs. We don’t love rigid job titles. And we don’t believe that great people only come along when you happen to have a “vacancy”.
We’re building something big - tech that transforms whole industries, teams that reimagine what brilliant looks like and products that people and customers actually love. That means our talent team are always open to meeting and speaking with exceptional humans who are passionate to help us do more of that.
Maybe you’ve run big teams and we don’t mean just managing FTEs - you’ll happily work with no direct reports, because your enthusiasm means awesome people will follow you, and you’ll get stuff done. Maybe you’ve shaped strategy, launched products, scaled operations or quietly turned chaos into clarity. Maybe you’ve done the big jobs but you’re still hungry to build something meaningful. You probably don’t need a manager to tell you what needs doing. You spot the gaps and get stuck in. We don’t work to backlogs, we don’t write business cases but we prioritise effectiveness and efficiency above all else. We expect accountability without process, and responsibility without functional shoulder pads. We get stuff done by knowing what’s right and sometimes that’s hard.
We don’t care what your last job title was. We care that you’ve got real experience a sharp instinct for what matters and a bit of fire in your belly to use it for something good.
There’s no neat box for this advert. You might be excited by operations, tech, customer, product, commercial, strategy or something else entirely. We’ve got a lot going on and the best people often help us figure out where they fit.
We’re a place where leaders still answer customer emails. Where we care more about effectiveness than process. Where job titles don’t matter as much as getting stuff done. Where accountability isn’t hidden behind decks or backlogs - it’s owned, lived, and felt. And where you can go from an idea to live in days, not months.
If this sounds like your kind of place and you’ve built or led things that mattered at scale - we’d love to hear from you. If you're not quite at a senior level in your career (think 10+ years under your belt) there is still a place you can register speculative interest here
Tell us what excites you and where you think you could make an impact. We’ll take it from there.

We are looking for great people to join our power trading business, but there's probably a few things you should know first... We don’t do things the traditional way. Not in trading, not anywhere really. There’s no big hierarchy, no layers of sign-off, no hiding behind process. We’ve built our own tech, we make our own decisions, and we move quickly because we can. As a company, we are always learning - innovation means constant evolution and change - and as an exciting result, we are looking for experienced team members across the globe with incredible experience in power trading businesses looking for their next move! Are you an experienced professional with experience in Power Trading businesses looking for a new, exciting and start-up role to develop in? At Octopus Energy Trading, we’re on a mission to reshape the future of energy. As part of Octopus Energy Group, we’re creating an innovative approach to trading that will accelerate the transition to a Net Zero world. With the growth of renewables and a push toward decarbonising heating and transport, greater flexibility in the grid is essential. We are building cutting-edge technology to optimise everything from domestic EV charging to grid-scale batteries, to meet the global demand for energy flexibility. We’re looking for passionate and unconventional thinkers to join us on this journey, bringing a diversity of experience and ideas to shape a more efficient, flexible, and sustainable energy system. You might be used to places where trading sits in a box. It doesn’t here. We work closely with the people building the tech, the people talking to customers, the people shaping the future of the business. It means you see more, influence more, and yes, occasionally deal with a bit more chaos too. We’re pretty obsessive. About the market, about the detail, about how things actually work in the real world. We think about the system a lot. A lot, a lot. How energy flows, where it breaks, how it could be better. And then we try to fix it. Please register your interest in a role with Octopus Energy Trading and let us know what unique experience you could bring! A bit more about a role in Octopus Energy Trading... Where do we operate? Originally focusing on the GB market and now expanding into Europe and Asia, we are now looking to take our experience to new countries so would love to here from you, wherever you are in the world! What do we look for? We’re looking for people with awesome experience in the power trading world, someone who can talk through the numbers, the risk, the strategy. But actually, what really matters is how you think. You’re curious. You don’t just accept how things are done. You’ll question it, pull it apart, rebuild it better. You’re a grafter, but a smart one. You know where effort matters and where it doesn’t. You won’t spend hours polishing something no one needs. And yes, writing a long meeting agenda might drain you slightly. You take ownership. Proper ownership. Not “that’s not my job”, more “I’ll figure it out”. Because here, you kind of have to. Our Traders... Our Traders develop transformational solutions and rapidly implement these to meet the urgent and global need for energy flexibility. You’ll be responsible for creating value from Power markets, trading the volatility, and managing our exposure. You’ll also work on the high-level trading approach, supporting in the evolving design and improvement of our in-house analytical tools. Our Data Team... With an increase in variable and distributed supply, using data for trading and forecasting has never been more important. Octopus has always had a tech-first approach, and our trading and analytics tools are all built in-house. We look for experts in building data pipelines bringing together internal and external data to create market leading insights using both classical and ML techniques. This includes looking at demand, renewables and transmission system fundamentals forecasts focussed to begin with on the GB intraday power market Our Battery Team... Flexible assets - batteries, EVs, heat pumps, and more - are key to the reliable operation of low-carbon grids. Maximising the impact of these assets across electricity markets and grid services requires making thousands of highly complex, data-driven decisions and we have built an incredible team who take ownership of this. Our Leaders... Our leaders don’t really look like “leaders” in the traditional sense, which is kind of the point… They don’t sit at a distance. They’re in it. Close to the detail, close to the work, close to the people actually doing the job. They’ll answer customer emails. They’ll jump into problems. They don’t measure themselves by team size or org charts. In fact, the opposite. If something can be simpler, smaller, faster, they’ll push for that. They’re pretty obsessive. About doing the right thing, about making things better, about not letting something slide just because “that’s how it’s always been”. They don’t hide behind process. If something’s broken, they fix it. If something’s unclear, they make a call. They give people a lot of trust. And with that comes a lot of responsibility. You won’t be micromanaged, but you also won’t be able to coast. Team culture and vision are so important to us, here’s what the team has to say… Celyn Simmonds - “Octopus Energy Trading is a new function within the Octopus Group that is tasked with managing all the Group's short term trading responsibilities. We'll be building a 24 hour shift desk, supported by world class developers, in order to optimise our flex assets (think batteries, EV's, heat pumps..), retail, and renewable energy portfolio, as well as taking speculative positions. We're a small, dedicated function who work fast, dynamically and look out for each other; it's a start-up atmosphere with the benefits of the resources of a larger company.” Alissa Tripp - “Working in the Octopus trading team has been a fantastic experience - it's a space where innovation and teamwork create tangible impact, and it is a very collaborative environment to operate in. Being part of such a dynamic team has definitely pushed me to grow in ways I hadn't expected.” This is a speculative posting for now. We’re growing quickly and expect to be hiring in this space across different countries, so tell us where you’re based and we’ll be in touch when the right role comes up
About Skyscanner Everyone loves travelling, but planning is not without its challenges ✈️. That's why we've spent 20 years building tools that turn travel-planning chaos into a breeze. Today, around 160 million travellers count on us every month to skip the whole “47 browser tabs open” phase and find flights, cars, and hotels quickly and easily 💻. Joining Skyscanner means becoming part of a global brand that's striving to become the planet's go-to travel hack accessible for all 🌍. Our vision? To be the world's number one travel ally. (Ambitious? 💪 Yes, but, hey, that's what got us here) Now, we’re on the lookout for an Principal Product Manager - Loyalty to help us bring that vision to even more travellers. About the role (Hybrid) We’re looking for a product lead to join our loyalty team. At Skyscanner, we’re on a mission to help every traveller to explore our world effortlessly. As we continue to grow the audience we serve, it’s critical that we build relationships with our travellers that create reasons to return directly, time and time again. We’re looking for an experienced product manager to help shape, define and deliver our loyalty strategy, with an ambition to greatly increase our direct relationships, drive retention and increase customer lifetime value. Through our loyalty programme we’re aiming to offer better prices to our most loyal travellers, help them move from searching to trip planning, offer them reoccurring rewards at the airport, and broadly better personalising their experience throughout. In this role you’ll need to manage stakeholders across the organisation to drive substantial change. What you’ll be doing * Partnering across the business: You’ll work with cross-functional teams on complex initiatives spanning proposition execution, experience design, experimentation and platform delivery — from marketing and design to data, engineering and legal. * Translating vision into product: You’ll turn loyalty proposition and experience principles into concrete capabilities, journeys and interactions across web, app, SEO, booking flows and lifecycle touchpoints. * Owning the roadmap: You’ll define and execute a phased loyalty product strategy — shaping MVPs, proofs of concept and iterative releases that balance learning, impact and technical foundations. * Spotting the biggest opportunities: You’ll collaborate with squads and stakeholders to identify gaps and unlock initiatives that drive engagement, retention and long-term traveller value. * Coordinating end-to-end delivery: You’ll ensure smooth execution across Flights, Hotels, Cars, Packages, Explore, Platform, Data and Lifecycle systems — no dropped handovers, no mystery dependencies. * Making smart product decisions: You’ll define feature-level requirements and make day-to-day product and UX calls that keep experiences intuitive without compromising core conversion flows. * Leading experimentation: You’ll define hypotheses, success metrics and guardrails, run experiments and use the learnings to continuously refine the roadmap and loyalty proposition. About you * Loyalty-savvy: You’ve designed, built or scaled loyalty programmes or retention-led experiences, and you deeply understand how rewards, recognition and lifecycle touchpoints shape behaviour. * Influential product leader: You’re comfortable aligning diverse stakeholders around complex, cross-cutting initiatives - bringing clarity where others see chaos. * Data-informed decision maker: You’ve hands-on experience with experimentation, metrics and guardrails, with a strong focus on long-term value, repeat behaviour and retention. * Platform confident: You’re comfortable navigating complex environments, balancing short-term wins with long-term capability building and dependency management. * Outcome-oriented: You thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous settings and focus on impact over optics. * Clear communicator: You bring excellent collaboration skills and experience working in agile environments, keeping teams aligned and energised. * Traveller-first thinker: You instinctively zoom out to see the whole journey — always asking how this makes life easier, better or more rewarding for the traveller. #LI-SM2 #LI-Hybrid What it's like here We are the real deal - no corporate gloss, no empty promises.
