The posting, in Octopus Energy's own words
archived Sep 9, 2026Help us make a big green dent in the universe. We're on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution, and we need many more people to help us make our vision a reality. Octopus Energy Generation (OEGEN) is a leader in sourcing, investing in, and managing a wide range of utility-scale renewable energy assets. As we continue to expand our investment base, we are dedicated to building a diverse team that reflects the communities we serve. Currently, we manage a global portfolio of over £8 billion in renewable energy assets. We are committed to delivering best-in-class responsible investment activity, offering like-minded investors the means and products to invest their capital sustainably. It is our ambition to change the entire energy lifecycle and make every green electron matter, delivering the best outcomes for customers, investors, the environment and society, accelerating the transition to net zero. The Development Portfolio Management Team at OEGEN is in charge of delivering our development investments and works hand in hand with developers to deliver on the investment cases in changing commercial and market dynamics.. Your mission will be to make our large development portfolio across Europe a huge success. It spans different maturity stages (from early stage land to ready to build) and five countries. We are looking for someone who is very commercially minded, understands renewables development, loves data and communicates clearly with the team and senior stakeholders. The board directors and fund managers will rely on you to support them in decision making and value creation for portfolio companies. You will be in charge of value maximisation of projects through their development journey (from early stage to ready to build) and lead on exits. This is a 12-month FTC ideally starting by the end of October.
Commercial Management:
Be responsible for the commercial management of multiple development pipelines, working closely with developers to ensure delivery of investment objectives and progress of projects through development milestones to ready to build. Be the first point of contact with each developer, manage day-to-day coordination and communication with developers and lead operational reviews of pipelines. Lead on value maximisation of each development project including time of exit, sale preparation, revenue contracting, last mile development and other activities ensuring the best returns to investors on exit. Provide strategic oversight and direct management of portfolio companies, providing briefings and solutions to decision makers (such as board directors and fund managers). Monitor valuation and financial performance of investments to optimise returns and conduct regular assessments of investment and overall portfolio performance against objectives. Identify and mitigate risks related to the performance of the portfolio, enhancing investment resilience and performance.
