Octopus Energy Group is a global energy transition company - made up of 10 businesses across 4 continents that touch nearly every point in the energy value chain and invest heavily in technology to accelerate decarbonisation faster and cheaper for customers.

Our company is currently valued at $8 billion and is one of energy-tech’s fastest-growing private companies. Octopus’ cloud software technology platform, Kraken Technologies, launched to market six years ago, offering utility clients end-to-end customer management through one simple solution aimed at helping utilities and their customers transition into a decarbonised future. Since then it has grown rapidly, disrupting the incumbent tech landscape, with 42 million contracted accounts across 9 markets globally, including Japan. Kraken has secured licensing deals with large international energy clients like E.ON, EDF Energy, as well as Origin Energy in Australia and Tokyo Gas, replacing their core technology stack, re-imaging their operations with an unblemished track record of transformation success. We are on track to meet our ambition to grow to 100 million households by 2027 through expansion of the business with increasing interest and activity in the Japan market. We have localized the platform and onboarded customers in the market with an eye towards growth throughout Japan and APAC.

We're looking for someone to lead sales for Kraken across Japan, reporting to the Global VP of Sales in London and the Head of Sales in APAC. You’ll work as an expert in our Kraken Technologies and KrakenFlex cloud software platforms and the energy tech market to build and lead the Kraken sales team in Japan. You will drive our mission in a new market and sell advanced technology to accelerate future energy systems. You’ll be supported and connected to the global development and marketing teams in our London, Tokyo, and US offices.
