Octopus Energy supplies electricity and gas to over 7 million UK householders and is at the forefront of innovation in the drive towards net zero. Our Gross Margin team produces key financial reporting and analysis to support decision making and margin improvements across the UK business. We also support teams in other countries where Octopus operates.

The Gross Margin pipeline - for which you will be responsible along with a team of three engineers - uses a vast amount of data and produces a highly granular view of consumption, revenue and costs. Challenges include the quantity and quality of data and the estimations required where data does not exist. We have a superb pipeline with a very exciting dataset, analysis from which provides valuable information s across the business, e.g. driving development of Octopus’ industry-leading Time Of Use tariffs, refining financial forecasting, and preventing multi-million pound write-offs.

The Lead Data Engineer will drive the technical vision behind this pipeline as our customer base continues to grow and market development towards net zero requires an increasingly data-heavy calculation of energy consumption, and will also take joint responsibility for the accuracy of our outputs and guiding engineers in the team on their own career progression.

A little heads-up: With some of our team taking some well-deserved annual leave over the next couple of weeks, we may not get around to carefully reviewing all applications until the new year. Every application gets reviewed by a real human, and we’ll be in touch to let you know either way—whether it’s a yes or, sadly, a no this time round. Thanks for your patience and understanding!
