Where in the world of OVO will I be working?
We launched in 2009 with a mission to change energy for the better. Since then, we’ve welcomed over a million members, planted a million trees, and set our sights on helping save the planet.
OVO is working to become a net zero carbon business by 2030, while helping our OVO Energy members halve their carbon footprints at the same time.
Green energy and technology are great tools to fight the climate crisis with. But it’s people power that will rewrite history.
So we’re building a zero carbon team inside and out. Of people who share our values, feel inspired by our mission, and want to make change happen. When you work for OVO, it’s not just a job. It’s the work of a lifetime. And we want the sharpest minds to help.
Up for the challenge?
What will I be doing?
Securing our position as the trusted and known brand, famous for powering human progress with clean affordable energy for everyone. We want to be at the centre of a consumer-led energy transition where we help reduce the carbon footprint of Britain’s homes in an affordable and inclusive way. Building trust will be key to creating that partnership with consumers.
You will report directly to the Chief Commercial Officer and will be responsible for planning, developing, implementing and monitoring the overall brand building strategy.
This new role is responsible for all brand building activities. We need a connected story right the way through from the creative we put out on mass media channels...through to how the brand comes to life when our engineers visit more than 3000 homes every single day.
The OVO brand is critical to the future of our company and will, in time, need to take over from other brands (like SSE) that have been brought in through acquisition. In this role you will be responsible for all the brand and brand marketing activities for all brands in the OVO Group portfolio.
The role requires an experienced senior leader, with the commercial acumen, skills and confidence to lead in a complex organisation; who can deliver transformation and improved outcomes and experiences for our current and future customers.
Your role is critical and highly visible both internally and externally.
