Job Description

Octopus Energy Group is a global leader in renewable energy and innovation. We are transforming the energy market by delivering affordable, green energy to millions of customers. At the heart of our success is a commitment to revolutionising how electricity networks operate and driving policies that unlock a clean, low-cost, and resilient energy future.


About the role

Energy networks are rapidly becoming the crucial bottleneck to achieving net zero. Constraints on the grid risk limiting our ability to build renewables, move clean power where it's needed, and meet our customer demand for low carbon tech like EVs, heat pumps and solar power.


As part of the Octopus global mission to drive decarbonisation in a way that benefits customers, we’re increasingly engaging on how energy networks are governed and managed. Influencing the policy and regulatory framework is absolutely crucial to making change happen in this sector.


We are seeking a professional with expertise in the energy sector and a motivation to learn more about the grid. The grid policy specialist will drive forward policy and regulatory solutions to the unique challenges facing the grid, as well as collaborating with network companies to make change happen. This could cover topics across market reform, network regulation, grid tech innovation, financing, supply chain, network competition and grid connections.
