Senior Customer Support Executive
12-month Fixed-Term Contract (Maternity Cover)
Help us build the best customer support team in financial services.
Everyone knows the legendary customer service that made Octopus Energy famous. That's exactly what we're building at Octopus Money.
We believe financial services doesn't have to feel slow, complicated or frustrating. We want every interaction to leave clients feeling understood, supported and confident that someone genuinely cares about getting the right outcome.
We're looking for an ambitious Senior Customer Support Executive to join us on a 12-month maternity cover contract. You'll become one of the most experienced members of our Customer Support team, helping deliver exceptional service every day while playing an important role in shaping how our support function evolves as we grow.
Yes, this role starts as a fixed-term contract. But we're also growing quickly, and we're looking for someone we'd love to keep. If you're brilliant, there will be genuine opportunities to help shape and grow our Customer Support team beyond the initial contract.
If you're excited by building something exceptional rather than simply maintaining the status quo, we'd love to hear from you.
About the role
Our Customer Support Team Lead is going on maternity leave, creating an opportunity for an experienced financial services professional to step into a senior operational role within a small, high-performing team.
You'll work alongside our Customer Support Manager, who is leading an ambitious transformation of the Customer Support function. While she focuses on building the future of the team, you'll be the experienced operational presence that keeps everything running brilliantly day to day.
This isn't a traditional customer support role.
Customer Support sits at the heart of Octopus Money. The team doesn't just answer client questions - it influences product decisions, improves customer journeys, identifies operational improvements and helps shape new propositions across the business.
We believe the people speaking to customers every day are often the people with the best ideas. We actively encourage those ideas and give people the opportunity to make them happen.

- Loves improving processes and making things better for customers, teammates and the wider business.
- Genuinely enjoys speaking to clients - you find real satisfaction in a good conversation, not just resolving a ticket.
