Operations Finance Analyst in London

Octopus Electric Vehicles is a market-leading, mission-driven organisation focused on accelerating the transition to a net-zero economy through innovative financing solutions. This is a high-growth opportunity for an analytical professional looking to build a career in Capital Markets.

Joining as an Analyst, you will gain hands-on exposure to complex debt facilities and see the full lifecycle of a securitisation facility. You will be directly producing the institutional investor reports and operational deliverables that keep the capital behind a rapidly expanding leasing business flowing. This role requires a minimum of two days per week in our London office.

What you'll do:

• Securitisation & Investor Reporting: Own the end-to-end production of institutional investor reports, facility utilisation tracking, and loan-level data tapes, ensuring high accuracy and consistency across all deliverables.
• Fund Sweep & Cash Operations: Facilitate facility cash sweeps by validating rental fees, termination totals, and buyback settlements across securitisation structures.
• Portfolio & Asset Tracking: Maintain asset lifecycle trackers (e.g. end-of-lease, defaults, and buybacks) to provide real-time visibility over reserve assets and borrowing base capacity.
• Covenant & Trigger Monitoring: Monitor transaction covenants and performance triggers across securitisation facilities, flagging potential breaches to the wider Capital Markets team.
• Audit & Reconciliation: Lead reconciliations between granular loan-level data tapes and facility summary reports, preparing materials for investor audit requests and identifying discrepancies.
• Process & Data Optimization: Partner with Finance, Data, and Operations teams to validate data workflows in Databricks and drive scalable improvements across reporting processes.

A degree in Finance or a related discipline, plus 1 - 3 years of work or internship experience in finance, or in a role that involved working with large, complex datasets is required. Experience building, auditing, or maintaining spreadsheet-based models and trackers to a solid working level is essential. You should understand how a single input error can propagate through a report and build in checks to catch it before it ships.

A self-driven problem-solving mindset, with a genuine willingness to learn unfamiliar financial structures quickly and communicate effectively with internal stakeholders is important. There is a genuine motivation to apply your financial and technical skillset to a business funding the transition to electric vehicles.
