Join the Global Green Energy Revolution

Octopus Energy is on a mission to make a great, green dent in the universe. As the UK’s #1 energy supplier and a certified B Corp, we're building a global movement to drive radical decarbonisation and transform customer service. We're creating a workplace where individuality is celebrated, and we want you to be a part of it.

About the Role

This is not your average contact centre job. Based in our vibrant Wellington CBD office, this entry-level role is an invitation to become a true customer champion. For the first six months, you’ll work on-site Monday to Friday, immersing yourself in our unique culture and learning everything you need to succeed in the energy industry. You'll be on the front lines, providing outrageously good service to our UK-based customers via email on our award-winning Kraken platform. The customers you will be supporting are in the UK and therefore we are primarily email-based, however, calls may be required.

What You’ll Do

As an Energy Specialist, you’ll be an end-to-end problem solver:

Take Ownership: Provide empathetic, human-centric support, taking full responsibility for customer issues—from billing and smart meter queries to complex problem-solving.

Innovate & Improve: Use your creativity to find solutions, challenge the status quo, and contribute your ideas to continuously improve our customer experience.

Help Those in Need: Assist vulnerable customers with the care and thoughtfulness they deserve.

Grow with Us: As you master the role, you'll identify areas you're passionate about and develop specialised expertise. Your growth is our priority.

At Octopus, we believe in empowering people. This isn't just a job; it's a chance to build a career. As we expand, you’ll have opportunities to move into leadership, explore new areas, and help shape our growing business.

Why Join Us?

Make an Impact: Every day, you’ll be working with passionate, like-minded people to help accelerate the world's transition to a greener, fairer energy system.

Experience Our Unique Culture: We are a diverse team of authentic people who work with freedom and responsibility. You'll be trusted to do the right thing and be yourself, adding your unique perspective to our dry-stone wall.

Uncommon Perks & Opportunities: Beyond a competitive salary, you’ll be included in our Equity Option Scheme (everyone owns a piece of the business!). For top performers, we offer career-defining opportunities to work flexibly or even travel and relocate to our UK offices and beyond.

We’re looking for people who:

- Are obsessed with providing outrageously good customer experiences.

- Love creative problem-solving and thinking outside the box.

- Are adaptable, resilient, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

- Are a strong team player and want to contribute to a supportive culture.

- Bring their full, authentic selves to work every day.

- No prior energy experience is required. We’re more interested in your passion for people and problem-solving. Whether you’re in retail, hospitality, or another service-oriented field, we'll give you everything you need to succeed.
