    Description

    The energy industry is undergoing the largest transformation since industrialisation at an unprecedented rate of change and we are positioning ourselves to be at the heart of that change.

    Our aim is to be the leading global provider of solutions that enable customers to release £30bn of value per annum from distributed energy resources (DERs). We are building a Software as a Service (SaaS) subscription business with a global addressable market of £2.4 billion per annum, by digitally connecting hundreds of thousands of DERs with energy markets.

    We have already attained a market leading position and KrakenFlex is a recognised thought leader and innovator in the industry. Our efforts have not gone unnoticed and we are pleased to announce that we now have the full support and backing of Octopus Energy, an award-winning UK energy supplier who share our passion and values.

    Help us make a big green dent in the universe. We're on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution, and we need loads more people to help us make our vision a reality.

    Kraken Tech is at the forefront of the energy transition and developing the technology and products to meet the challenges of decarbonisation. Kraken is licensing their SmartFlex product that optimises customers' home devices (e.g. EVs, Batteries) and provides discounts for allowing their electricity supplier to charge them at greener times. Current clients include Octopus Energy Retail businesses around the world, with many more expected to join over 2024.

    • Conduct project retrospectives after integrations are complete to identify improvement opportunities.

    • Provide regular updates on integration progress, risks, and blockers, escalating when necessary.
    • Identify hiring requirements across the program and escalate as needed.
    • Collaboratively define and report on integration team KPIs, along with plans of action for improvement.

    Ideally you will be based in the Greater Manchester and happy to come into the office a couple of days per week But we appreciate that things have changed and flexibility is at the top of everyone's agenda, so if you would rather be remote please let us know.

    If this sounds like you then we'd love to hear from you.

Whoever you are, if you like one of our jobs, we encourage you to apply as you might just be the candidate we hire. Across Octopus, we're looking for genuinely decent people who are honest and empathetic. Our people are our strongest asset and the unique skills and perspectives people bring to the team are the driving force of our success.
