Commercial Manager

At Octopus Energy for Business (OEB), we are an established and rapidly scaling energy supplier with more than 120k business customers. We are reinventing Britain’s business energy market by rejecting brokers, delivering great value and outrageously good customer service to all customer segments, pioneering time-matched renewable supply for large businesses through Electric Match and leading the market for SME smart tariffs with Shape Shifters. Operating within Octopus Energy Group, we are committed to helping businesses meet their energy needs through electrification, renewables and flexibility. To do this to the fullest extent, we are now expanding our capabilities beyond supply and smart tariffs.. To help large businesses solve for escalating energy bills, site resilience and net zero, we are seeking to expand our propositions into on-site renewables, batteries, flexibility and PPAs. This role will be diverse in its focus, responsible for innovating with large business customers to meet their energy needs, beyond the confines of energy tariffs.. We are looking for a commercial manager with an innovative streak, who has strong fundamentals in business development, commercial modelling and contracts, but also the capacity to think creatively about how to use different energy structures for the benefit of customers. It’s not necessary to have deep experience in all of the technologies and contract structures we’ll be exploring, but we’d like to see the experience of some and - crucially - the capacity and passion to learn quickly. This role is designed for an ambitious, high-ceiling individual who wants to build on their experience and grow their career alongside our expansion. What you'll do

Innovate with large business customers through a rapid build, test and learn approach on how we can save customers money, provide price certainty, support site resilience and reduce carbon emissions.

Develop commercial proposals for B2B energy propositions featuring PPAs, on-site renewables, battery storage and flexibility.  

Support business development, commercial modelling  and customer pipeline for these propositions. 

Work closely with teams across OE Group and form partnerships with 3rd parties to stitch together the necessary capabilities and channels for commercial activation of our large business propositions. E.g. Octopus’s flexibility,generation and legal teams, funding partners.
