Octopus EnergyMarket Development & Flexibility Associate
AI in this role
Octopus is a tech-powered energy company. We believe technology has the power to address our greatest challenge, climate change, while also delivering incredible service and customer experience.
We are changing the way people interact with their energy company - by making it approachable, low cost, easy-to-understand, and most importantly, 100% renewable.
The team you'd be joining
The Flexibility-as-a-Service (FaaS) team is Octopus's tip of the spear for the distributed energy revolution in North America. We turn distributed energy resources — home batteries, EVs, heat pumps, smart thermostats — into virtual power plants that balance the grid, earn customers money, and make room for more renewables.
We are small, we move quickly, and we're building something that doesn't really exist yet. We live at the messy, exciting intersection of wholesale markets, utility programs, regulatory policy, and commercial strategy. That means the work is varied, the priorities shift, and the opportunities show up fast — sometimes with very little notice.
The role
This is a generalist role for someone who likes wearing a lot of hats and switching between them without losing the thread.
One day you might be helping draft regulatory comments for a utility commission proceeding. The next, you're pulling apart wholesale market pricing to shape a dispatch strategy. The day after that, you're building the deck for a business development pitch or turning around an RFP response on a tight deadline. You'll move between utility business development, wholesale market analysis, energy policy, and program delivery — often in the same week.
