About Octopus Electroverse

We’re making electric vehicle ownership as smart and as simple as possible by building the giant, virtual charging platform of the future. In four years, Octopus Electroverse has grown to become the largest consumer eMobility player in Europe, with over 1.2 million connected electric vehicle chargers and a customer ecosystem spanning web, iOS, Android, CarPlay, Android Auto and more.

But it’s just the start: we’re busy expanding internationally, working with more automotive and tech partners, building exciting new features at scale, and creating the integrated charging experiences of the future - all in the name of making public EV charging super simple for customers.

Electroverse is a multifunctional team made up of product, development, commercial, operations, marketing, partnerships and more - all focused together on making Octopus the go-to name in EV charging. And we’re looking for smart individuals with an interest in the space who can help us make it happen.

About the role

We’re looking for an experienced financial operator ready to step up, take the wheel, and drive the strategy for a complex, rapidly growing business within Octopus Group. We’ve already got the "now" covered. Our operational finance engine is humming beautifully thanks to a team who keeps the gears turning and the books balanced. What we need is a navigator - someone who will delegate the day-to-day mechanics to our capable team and spend their time focused on the road ahead with ownership of business planning, budgeting and financial oversight.
This isn't just a role for a spreadsheet enthusiast; it’s a career track designed to lead to a Finance Director role within 12 to 24 months.

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

Are you ready for a career with us? We want to ensure you have all the tools and environment you need to unleash your potential. Need any specific accommodations? Whether you require specific accommodations or have a unique preference, let us know, and we'll do what we can to customise your interview process for comfort and maximum magic!

Studies have shown that some groups of people, like women, are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet 100% of the job requirements. 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. As an equal opportunity employer, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected attribute. Our commitment is to provide equal opportunities, an inclusive work environment, and fairness for everyone.
