About Octopus Energy Spain...

At Octopus, we’ve led the way in innovating new ways to price energy to give customers more control over their energy costs, stamp out the loyalty penalty seen in much of the industry and engage customers to use energy when it is greenest and cheapest. We’re looking for a smart, passionate analyst to join within our data science team to help us manage and develop our energy products.

Our team takes a technology and data driven approach to managing our complex pricing portfolio. We apply modern open data and analytics tools like Python, Pandas and Jupyter notebooks to build pricing tools and models. We’re passionate about automating work loads and processes so we can concentrate on the interesting problems. We’re looking for someone who is equally motivated by using technology to solve problems.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work on problems that genuinely move us closer to Octopus Energy Spain with a company that is passionate about building great technology and products that change the way customers use energy.

About this role...

We are looking for an experienced Public Affairs Specialist to lead robust analytical assessments of regulatory and political strategies, proactively identifying risks, opportunities, and impacts to safeguard business interests, enhance institutional legitimacy, and influence energy policy outcomes. The role demands deep expertise in Spanish legislative frameworks, electricity & gas market dynamics (particularly commercialisation), and stakeholder engagement with regulatory bodies.

This role will effect collaboration with relevant national and international authorities to review, shape, and influence policy decisions, and enhance Octopus Energy Spain’s global reputation and visibility in the energy transition. As we internationalise our focus and research, key markets we want to engage with beyond Spain include the US, Europe, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia.

As a proven leader in a policy and comms function with strong advocacy skills, the candidate will draw on their experience to foster close relationships with the highest influence stakeholders in the energy sector and beyond, successfully accelerating global energy transitions.
