About Octopus Electroverse We're making electric vehicle ownership as smart and as simple as possible, by building the giant, virtual charging platform of the future. In four years, Octopus Electroverse has grown to become the largest consumer eMobility player in Europe, with over 1.3 million connected electric vehicle chargers and a customer ecosystem spanning web, iOS, Android, CarPlay, Android Auto and more. But it's just the start: we're busy expanding internationally, working with more automotive and tech partners, building exciting new features at scale, and creating the integrated charging experiences of the future - all in the name of making public EV charging super simple for customers. Electroverse is a multifunctional team made up of product, development, commercial, operations, marketing, partnerships and more - all focused together on making Octopus the go-to name in EV charging. And we're looking for smart individuals with an interest in the space who can help us make it happen. This Commercial Pricing Analyst role is focused on the precision and scaling of our pricing engine. Reporting to the Commercial Strategy Manager, you will be the guardian of our commercial backbone - simplifying complex tariff logic and building the proactive systems needed to ensure a simple, reliable experience for our customers as we scale. This is a growth-focused role where you will be supported by the wider commercial team to sharpen your business acumen and drive the best outcomes for Electroverse and our customers. What you'll do Take ownership of our commercial tariff logic, managing the mapping for thousands of partner tariffs while designing leaner, more automated ways to handle complex pricing data. Develop proactive tracking and monitoring tools to ensure our pricing engine is performing correctly, identifying data discrepancies early to maintain full visibility over our commercial processing. Collaborate closely with the Ops team to define clear commercial outcomes, guiding the implementation of pricing logic to ensure our technical systems match our commercial goals. Support the Finance team with deep-dive analysis into invoicing variances, investigating root causes and turning complex data into clear, actionable commercial insights. Partner with our Partnerships and Ops teams to monitor market feedback and partner data, helping to optimise our pricing and ensure we are always delivering the best value for our customers. Translate commercial challenges into technical requirements for our product and engineering teams, helping to shape the roadmap for features that support our next generation of pricing models Any other interesting challenges and opportunities which are guaranteed to pop up along the way! What you'll need Strong attention to detail balanced with the commercial judgment to make sensible decisions when data is missing or complex. Analytically and numerically confident, with 2+ years in a data-heavy or commercial role (e.g. Pricing, Commercial Finance, or Data Analysis). Solid SQL skills are essential for navigating our data; experience with Databricks or similar big-data environments is a major plus. A natural "simplification instinct" - you enjoy unpicking complex problems and moving away from manual workarounds toward scalable, automated solutions. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex pricing logic clearly to different teams, whether you're working with Finance on reconciliation or Ops on a process change. High degree of curiosity and an interest in using modern tools or AI to speed up your workflow, provided you have the rigour to validate every result for 100% accuracy. Happy to operate autonomously in a fast paced environment, acting as a self-starter who isn't afraid to ask for help or brainstorm with commercial leaders to drive the best outcomes. Truly values led, passionate about decarbonisation and the transition to electric vehicles. Why else you'll love it here • Wondering what the salary for this role is? Just ask us! On a call with one of our recruiters it's something we always cover as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary. The reason why we don't advertise is because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn't apply to Octopus - what's more important to us is finding the right octofit! • Octopus Energy Group is aunique culture.
