Data Analyst

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 someone who will work in our credit risk function and develop our capabilities across both business and consumer portfolios. 
This could not be a better time to join Octopus Energy. We are already recognised as a global leader in the fight to decarbonise the planet by revolutionising what’s possible in energy - including investments in renewable energy supply, renewable energy generation, smart energy networks, EVs, heat pumps, etc. The government's new green initiatives and the recent investment by Al Gore’s Generation Fund will propel us further and faster. Equally, from a credit risk perspective this is an important time to join. The energy sector has gone through a period of volatility. Businesses and households are facing significantly higher energy prices just as we enter winter. This situation is compounded with the end of furlough and reductions to Universal Credit payments. For these reasons we are looking to add to our credit risk capabilities with this new role. 

What you'll do

• Take ownership of our credit strategies for residential and business customers
• Develop our credit scorecards
• Payments and payment adequacy strategy
• Collections insight and strategy
• Develop our empathic approaches towards vulnerable customers
• Credit risk reporting and management information
• Strategies to identify and prevent first party and third party fraud
• Bad debt provision and write-offs
• Do all the above in partnership with Data Science, Finance, Collections, Ops and other stakeholders

What you'll have

• Excellent SQL skills
• Python data science stack experience (NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, Jupyter notebooks, Plotly/matplotlib)
• Git for version control experience
• Data visualization tool experience (Tableau, Looker, PowerBI or equivalent)
• Experience of consumer credit risk and collections is ideal but not essential
• DBT experience a bonus but not essential

The reason why we don't advertise is because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn't apply to Octopus - what's more important to us is finding the right octofit!
