Overview Help us make a big green dent in the universe. We're on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution, and we need loads more people to help us make our vision a reality. We're spearheading the transition to greener, cheaper energy through the installation of in-home technologies; from smart meters and electric car chargers; to low carbon heating, home batteries, solar, EV charge points and beyond. Utilising Octopus' awesome tech power, we deliver smart energy solutions for our customers. We need you to help us with our mission to decarbonise homes worldwide. You'll play a strategic but hands on role, connecting suppliers, customers and colleagues to our supply chain and bringing our low carbon technology to life.

What you'll do Own the procurement portfolio for one or more areas of our residential low carbon tech such as Heat Pumps, EV Charge Points, Solar PV or Battery Storage. Build and lead optimisation pipeline for the procurement portfolio to deliver ongoing value across pricing, quality, availability, new product introduction, tail spend optimisation, contract compliance and proactive risk management. Work closely with wider areas of the business to drive creative commercial solutions, mitigate risks and bring to market products that our customers love. Develop scalable solutions that enable our in-house supply chain to become a source of competitive advantage, helping our customers to decarbonise their homes faster and cheaper. What you'll need Experience of leading commercial and supply chain development activities for direct spend in a supplier facing role, ideally within the residential low carbon tech space. Able to lead end-to-end sourcing and contracting efforts through effective collaboration with suppliers and colleagues Commercially sharp, understanding key supplier and market drivers and proactively able to make connections on seemingly unrelated areas. Entrepreneurial drive. You will have a growth and customer first mindset Resilience, we love to take the non-conformist routes, push boundaries and break market norms. Comfortable working at speed in a start-up culture, with the ability to lead commercial and tech development activities in an ever-changing environment. Good at managing your priorities, we're only human, but generally you can juggle a lot of balls and focus on what's important Low cost country sourcing experience would be a bonus.
