Commercial Analyst – Contract Management Team
About the Role
This is a hugely exciting opportunity to join the Contract Management Team as a Commercial Analyst.
Within the team, we are responsible for:
- Validating all metering invoices for Octopus Energy, reviewing invoices totaling £32 million per month.
- Preventing unnecessary expenditure by identifying corrective measures and disputing incorrect charges.
- Supporting the business with contractual requirements, ensuring operational elements are maintained and service delivery is fully met.
The ideal candidate will be:
- Detail-oriented, able to work independently and thrive with minimal direction.
- Organised, self-motivated, and a strong communicator.
- Passionate about data, with a solid understanding of Kraken, ECOES, Xoserve, and the wider energy market.
The role involves working closely with a small team, liaising with third-party suppliers, and managing contractual requirements across different levels of the business.
What You Will Do
- Work closely with MAPs (Market Actuators Provider) to review meter rental, premature removal charges, and lost meter processes—all as defined in the contracts.
- Analyse third-party data to ensure accuracy and uncover potential monetary savings.
- Identify, manage, and escalate key risks, issues, and dependencies, proposing intelligent solutions where necessary.
- Collaborate with stakeholders to evaluate and improve existing processes in contractual services—recommending enhancements and advances.
- Provide regular progress updates and performance reports, highlighting their strategic alignment with the team.
