The OVO Group’s purpose is to drive progress towards net zero carbon living. To reach Plan Zero, we need everyone to come together - not just as customers buying energy, but as members with a common goal. As part of this ambitious plan, our goal is to become the ‘Leading Employer in the UK’ by 2030. If you think you could be the talent we’re looking for, then come and join the adventure!
Where in the world of OVO will I be working?
Kaluza is the centrepiece of OVO Group’s ambition to become the world leader in distributed energy technology. Kaluza is shaping the future: a distributed, consumer-centric energy system that will be the nervous system connecting energy retailers, grid & network operators and consumers to provide clean, affordable energy for everyone.
Orion by Kaluza is our flexible software platform which enables energy suppliers to provide a simple, transparent, reliable & ultimately delightful experience to their customers. We build tools and processes which enable suppliers to solve customer problems and help end-users better manage their energy at home.
What will you be doing?
Energy suppliers across the world deal with a huge range of industry complexity which is all but hidden from the end energy customer. Managing these unseen, but critical processes forms a significant part of a supplier’s operation and often has a material impact on the end customer’s experience. Orion solves this problem for suppliers by allowing them to run their operations efficiently at scale by providing accurate, timely data and a mix of intelligent automation & delightful agent tooling.
As we expand internationally we are adapting our platform to enable us to support different energy markets. Each market has its own unique industry processes and data requirements, but share common concepts such as a set of core customer journeys, physical meters in people’s homes and the readings they capture. We aim to abstract our proven industry interfaces across additional geographies and markets to enable the platform to scale. We’re looking for an experienced product manager who has a technical background and a platform product mindset to join our team solving this problem.
You’ll love this role if you enjoy solving gnarly technical challenges, spending time as a cross-functional team with your various stakeholders and continually pushing the boundaries of the energy industry. The successful candidate will need to show a real passion for the understanding of, and collaborating with, a wide range of complex problems from customers, energy retailers and regulatory bodies and working with their teams to deliver simple and innovative solutions.
