Hugely exciting opportunity to work in the Contract Management Team at Octopus Energy.
About the Role
The Contract Management Team is responsible for validating all metering invoices (totaling £32 million/month) for Octopus Energy. Key focus areas include:

- Supporting business operations to meet contractual requirements and maintain operational efficiency.
- Ensuring service delivery alignment with agreed contracts.
The ideal candidate will thrive in an environment that values detail orientation, independence, organisation, and self-motivation, with strong communication skills. Strong data literacy is also essential, particularly knowledge of Kraken, ECOES, Xoserve, and broader energy sector practices.

What You’ll Do
- Collaborate with MAPs (Measurement and Administration Providers) to review:
- Meter rental processes
- Premature removal charges
- Lost meter management (as defined in contracts)
- Analyse third-party data to identify fiscal inaccuracies and savings opportunities.
- Monitor key risks, issues, and dependencies, offering analytical solutions and escalating as required.
- Support cross-stakeholder process improvements by:
- Assessing existing workflows (metering, contract services)
- Recommending optimisations
- Implementing scalable best practices
- Provide regular performance updates, ensuring alignment with broader team strategy.
