In the words of the team, you should leave your current role for this one because….
“You will be exploring and trying to answer some of the hardest questions about the energy transition”
Where you’ll work:
At OVO, we understand that a one size fits all approach doesn’t work for everyone. That’s why we created the OVO Way of Flexibility.
All our roles are hub based (Bristol, Glasgow or London), providing a dedicated space for collaboration, connection and teamwork. You’ll also have the flexibility to work from home.
Everyone belongs at OVO
At OVO, we are on a mission to solve one of humanity's biggest challenges, the climate crisis. And we know it takes all of us to change the world. That's why we need diverse people from all abilities, gender identities, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, life experiences and backgrounds to join us.
Teamworking for the planet
Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here’s how:
Decarbonising the energy system by 2030 will affect all consumers of energy. OVO has a history of challenging the status quo, and we are bringing this entrepreneurial spirit to the decarbonisation challenge to find cheaper, simpler ways to put consumers at the heart of the energy transition.
OVO is investing in helping our customers decarbonise their homes and energy use, which is all part of our Plan Zero mission. But we’re not alone in the battle to decarbonise. We need to understand what the possible futures are - how the energy system and wider economy is going to evolve - so that we can plan for the future. We want to be better informed when making key strategic investment and business decisions.
The Energy Strategy team has three core pillars: Market Design, Innovation, and Flexibility. It’s our job to help the Energy business to look into the future, and position OVO to win.
This role in a nutshell:
We’re investing in developing our ability to look into the future. You will be supporting across the Energy Strategy function, likely with a particular focus on the development of our market modelling capabilities that will forecast energy market conditions and credible alternate scenarios and establish modelling approaches to enable these forecasts to be used to assess commercial opportunities or threats.
