We’re a technology company focused on creating a smart, sustainable energy system. From optimising renewable generation, creating a more intelligent grid and enabling utilities to provide excellent customer experiences, our operating system for energy is transforming the industry around the world in a way that benefits everyone. It’s a really exciting time in energy. Help us make a real impact on shaping a better, more sustainable future.

Who are we looking for? We’re looking for an influential data and analytics leader who’s excited to work directly with clients — helping them build modern data capabilities, coach on data best practices, and help them get transformative from Kraken data. You should bring experience leading a high-performing analytics or data team; a love of working with clients; and a passion for driving the clean energy transition. (Energy experience nice-to-have, but definitely not required.)

The role: You’ll work directly with Kraken clients to help them develop modern, transformative data and analytics capabilities as part of their broader Kraken transformation.

What you’ll do:

• Guide clients in redefining critical reporting and analytics to use new Kraken data and concepts, through working sessions, trainings, and occasional SQL/BI examples.
• Coach client data teams on best practices and help them spot gaps in skills, roles, tools, or process.
• Help clients identify reporting & analytics outcomes they need Kraken to drive and partner with product to deliver these.
• Train Kraken’s broader client delivery team on how to ask effective data questions and leverage data to drive business impact.

What you’ll need:

• 8+ years of experience in data analytics, business intelligence or related field (e.g., analytics manager or director, data consultant, lead data analyst, analytics engineer)
• Familiarity with SQL and modern BI tools – enough to recognize and speak to what “good” looks like & construct examples
• Excellent communications, collaboration and presentation skills
• Strong grasp of modern data practices (team structure, tools, ways of working)
• Experience working in an agile, product-led context
• Excitement for a fast-paced, high-autonomy, fun environment
• Strong influencing skills and ability to challenge traditional ways of thinking
• Experience leading data teams

Culture fit:

• Passionate about leading, motivating and developing others
• Passionate about helping customers (without them, we don’t exist)
• Passionate about technology (we are a tech business disrupting energy)
• Committed to sustainability (we are all about speeding up the shift to a more sustainable world)
• Open minded, flexible and adaptable (we are constantly growing, changing and evolving)
• Confident in decision making
• Supportive
• Approachable
• Inclusive
• Resilient, working well under pressure

Why else you’ll love it here:

• Great medical, dental, and vision insurance options including FSAs.
• Paid time off — we know working hard means also being able to recharge as needed, we trust our employees to get the work done and take the time they need.
• 401(k) plan with employer match.
• Parental leave. Biological, adoptive and foster parents are all eligible.
• Pre-tax commuter benefits.
• Flexible working environment: you need to shift around your schedule? You do you, we genuinely believe in work/life balance.
• Equity Options: every Octopus employee owns part of the business. We’re a team, working together towards huge goals. Every person is crucial to our success, you should be rewarded as such.
• Modern office or co-working spaces depending on location.
