We are looking for a highly commercial and driven Head of Finance Planning and Analysis (FP&A) to join our team. This is a critical leadership role where you will be responsible for telling the story of our financial performance, translating complex data into a clear narrative that drives strategic decision-making.

You will build and lead the FP&A function, acting as a key business partner to the OEV leadership team. Your work will provide the analytical engine for the business, developing robust models that underpin our rapid growth, inform our product pricing (across cars, chargers, and energy), and ensure our long-term financial health. If you are passionate about building something meaningful, comfortable with ambiguity, and want to use your financial skills to help save the planet, this is the role for you.
About us

The electric revolution has arrived - and from 2035 you’ll no longer be able to buy a new petrol or diesel car in the UK. 

We’re building a whole new way for drivers to join the electric charge and not only learn about and shop for their EV online, but experience a 'lease for life' through an industry changing customer experience. This is the chance to join one of the UK’s most exciting start-ups – making it easy for individuals and businesses to go electric by getting their car, charger and energy all in one cracking deal.

Octopus Electric Vehicles launched in 2018 to make it seamless to switch to cleaner, greener driving. Our mission is to drive sustainable change, decarbonise the planet and provide our customers with fair pricing and a fantastic experience. 

We're an Octopus Energy company—an innovative new energy supplier. We are part of the Octopus Energy Group, which seeks to improve the lives of millions of people by transforming the industries we operate in. The Octopus Group incorporates Octopus Energy, Octopus Healthcare, Octopus Investments, Octopus Property, Octopus Ventures and Octopus Labs.
