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 brilliant people to help make it happen. Octopus Energy Group set out in 2016 to build a greener, cheaper and fairer energy system in the UK. Now as the UK's largest domestic energy supplier, we are at the forefront of driving the green energy revolution, relentlessly delivering better service, lower costs and more innovation. We are driving full energy-system change, reinventing the way energy is consumed through physical and technological innovation. We are delivering the energy transition, helping reduce households' carbon footprint and bills through three fronts: growing renewable energy generation (mainly through deployment of funds managed by OE Gen); electrifying heating and transport; and enabling a smarter, greener grid through demand flexibility. As an integrated consumer energy business with high brand awareness, customer trust and technology deeply embedded in the consumer energy value chain, Octopus is uniquely positioned to drive the decarbonisation of the consumer energy markets. About the role We are seeking a passionate and analytical sustainability professional to join Octopus Energy Group's London-based team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives on data-led approaches to sustainability and carbon reporting, and who wants to help shape the future of the energy system. The Sustainability Analyst will work closely with the Group's sustainability Manager and a wide variety of teams across the Group such as Finance, Sales, Workspace and Product. You will help organise and streamline energy and carbon data collection for the Group's SECR and full footprint, working with teams to improve this process and receive high quality assurance ready data. You will also help with reporting to our investors and other stakeholders, establishing systems and controls to tell our high impact story. In addition, you will be helping our readiness and compliance with current and upcoming sustainability reporting frameworks such as the CSRD. This is a highly autonomous role with the opportunity to take ownership of many aspects of Sustainability and Carbon reporting for the Group and support stewardship and engagement activities with the underlying companies that make up the Group. What you'll do Manage energy and sustainability data systems: Drive the systematisation of energy and carbon data collection, storage and calculation across the Group, ensuring full alignment with SECR and other disclosure frameworks. Implement scalable reporting infrastructure: Define templates, tools and processes that support efficient reporting as the Group continues to grow. Support Group sustainability reporting: Take ownership of data collection processes and disclosures across the Group, supporting regulatory, sales bids and investor reporting needs. This includes Group's Annual Report, Carbon Reduction Plans, ESOS submission and investor reporting. Stewardship and engagement: Work with teams from office managers, to product, to procurement teams to understand how we can decarbonise in both strategy and operations. This includes contributing to engagement plans, overseeing action follow-ups, and tracking progress on thematic topics such as facility energy consumption and supply chain transparency. Discover and implement decarbonising integrations: Look to build out sustainability due diligence processes in Group operations and strategies. Looking to identify early-stage opportunities for delivering environmental or social value, as well as identify initiatives to improve our sustainability score in bids processes. Drive internal reviews: Conduct regular assessments and reviews of our methodologies, disclosure practices and chosen reporting frameworks. Measure and manage carbon: Support Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions measurement, including data gathering and the application of carbon accounting methodologies. Track regulation: Keep current with sustainability regulations, including CSRD, ISSB S1 & S2, SRS, EU Taxonomy, TCFD and TNFD, ensuring our processes meet evolving expectations. Support impact initiatives: Collaborate with our sustainability partnerships to deliver high impact both socially and environmentally. Tell compelling stories: Translate raw energy and carbon data into stories we can tell in the Annual Report and to investors and wider stakeholders on insights that demonstrate the value of our work in sustainability. What you'll bring 1-2 years' experience in sustainability, ideally familiar with energy and carbon reporting practices and familiarity with sustainability regulations and standards (e.g. CSRD, CSDDD, ISSB S1 & S2, SRS, EU Taxonomy, ESOS, SBTi TCFD and TNFD).

Where people work with autonomy, alongside a wide range of amazing co-owners, on projects that break new ground. We want your hard work to be rewarded with perks you actually care about!
