Data Analyst (Risk)

Help us make a big green dent in the universe. We're on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution, and we need loads more people to help us make our vision a reality.
We're looking for a Risk Analyst with a passion for renewable energy, customer service, technology and the mission to decarbonise the energy sector.
We are not like a traditional Energy Procurement team. Instead of working in large siloed teams, our Trading, Risk, Forecasting and Data-science functions work closely together utilising the latest technologies to maintain a lean operation as the company grows.
As we (hopefully) come out of an energy crisis that has completely changed the energy market, coupled with a global energy transition away from fossil fuels and a data revolution in the energy sector there are many exciting opportunities to explore.
Our job is to operate a core function of the business and to understand and manage the uncertainties and risks that come with the ever-changing landscape. 

What you'll do

• Build and maintain risk reporting tools for the Octopus Procurement Team.
• Build new dbt SQL data models and maintain existing models for use in dashboards and reporting.
• Perform one off analyses using SQL and Python in Jupyter notebooks.
• Automate data processes using Python scripts and work with data engineers to ingest new data sources.
• Seek to improve existing reports, identifying improvements and efficiencies.
• Lead on the update and maintenance of data to ensure data quality standards are met and that data is held, queried and reported on in a consistent manner.
• Work closely with a broad range of teams including Finance, Strategy, Pricing, Data, Business and many more.
• Work closely with peers in our global businesses to share experience and best practise, and deliver a consistent approach to risk management.
• Contribute and participate in the wider Octopus data community events including talks, hackathons and stand-ups

What you'll need

• Passion about working in energy and contributing to the energy transition.
• Comprehensive knowledge of data design, data modelling, data management, and data visualisation.
• Commercial awareness and financial literacy to identify and understand the problems that need solving.
• An ability to interact with business as well as technical teams.
• Learns fast and is enthusiastic about learning new technologies.
• Passionate about applying modern data tools to solve problems and help colleagues make better decisions.
• Has experience with the following technologies; a scripting language (ideally Python), writing complex queries in SQL (dbt experience is a bonus) and building reports and dashboards (we again mostly use Python).
• Experience of working in an energy and/or trading environment would be advantageous.
