We have an opportunity for an qualified Finance Leader, experienced as an FD and track record in operational high volume businesses to join our Senior Leadership Team at Octopus Energy Services, ready to finance the energy transition at real scale! In this role, you will lead our core finance functions - Financial Management & Accounting, Financial Operations, Financial Risk, and Pricing. You will also support our Strategic Finance team in financial planning. You'll sit on the leadership team and report into our OES CEO, partnering with other senior leaders across our low carbon tech teams, flexibility and manufacturing. Octopus energy is our shareholder and funds significant deployment through OES so you'll need to think like an owner whilst building for growth! It's a high complexity team we're serious about investing into low carbon installations and creating propositions that are new to the market for our customers.
