Description:
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to join OE Tech and support our Flex team.
The flexibility team is building the next generation of products and tools to make energy more flexible. These include our flagship Intelligent Octopus product automating demand shift for 300,000 customers with electric cars, home batteries or smart heating devices, saving 2 million customers money through Saving Sessions and Free Electricity Sessions, and managing 568MW of large grid-scale batteries to balance the system. The team develops products that are used by millions of customers, helping boost renewables use and decarbonise energy systems worldwide.
We embrace flat hierarchies and an open, agile culture that fosters innovation, flexibility, and creativity.
We don’t hang our personalities up with our coats and nor should you. At Octopus, we hire great people who get stuff done, all whilst being themselves.
If this sounds exciting, we’d love to chat.
