Programme Manager

Octopus Energy is at the forefront of the energy transition, making energy cheaper and greener through its cutting-edge technology. The flexibility team is building the next generation of products and tools to make energy more flexible, including automating electric vehicle charging, saving customers money by demand shifting through Saving Sessions and Free Electricity, and managing 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.

Following our launch of mass-market bidirectional electric vehicle charging with BYD, we are looking for a Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Programme Manager to join our fast growing team. This role will lead the charge as we work with a growing list of car and charger brands on automated V2X customer propositions.

Role Overview:

You will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of our V2X programmes, from strategic planning and stakeholder management to execution and deployment. We are looking for a candidate with exceptional project management, organisation and coordination skills. Knowledge of the technical and regulatory landscape around V2X is a bonus, but not required as these can be picked up as you go. V2X is a highly complex topic that touches many parts of the wider energy ecosystem and spans the different businesses of the Octopus Energy Group.

You will need an appetite to take both a detailed dive into the topic while maintaining a high level view of the overarching objectives, all while managing and coordinating a wide range of stakeholders.
