Senior Marketing and Partnerships Manager

What you'll do

• You'll support all aspects of the marketing operations and drive D2D campaign work.
• You'll have your fingers on the pulse of Texas culture & consumers. You understand how they think and what drives their decision making.
• You’ll be excited to go out to the local community events and businesses and talk about why Octopus Energy is the most incredible supplier in the US
• You’ll use your great business development skills to negotiate strategic partnerships that will help grow customer growth and brand awareness
• You know your way around a good contract. You’re not a lawyer, but can happily draft an outline and work with a legal team to finalize important documentation.
• You’d like to help save the world before it’s too late.
• 6+ years experience in marketing preferred

There's also probably some things you should know...

• We rarely use agencies for anything. We’re a fabulous team of in-house designers, UX, writers and front enders. We do our own media buying. You could say, in fact, that we’re half agency, but we’re your most favourite ever client, the one you secretly yearned to work at.
• We’re pretty obsessive. We think about our customers a lot. A lot a lot. We answer emails from customers, we join in on social media, we think constantly about what makes great experiences, great stories and great reasons for people to join us.
• We’re looking for someone who’s worked their way around the marketing mix and can trot out some good metrics, but actually, what you really really know, is humans. You can put together a brand pyramid, but it makes you cry inside a little bit, because actually you feel what a brand is, why people choose it (even where that might seem illogical), and you’re just a little bit fascinated about why people make the choices they do.
• You’re a grafter, but you’re a smart grafter, you put effort where you know it delivers the most value - writing out an agenda for a meeting kills a little bit of your soul.
• You’ve a burning desire to turn your skills to something meaningful. You enjoy the pace of the commercial world, but you’d rather not sell sugar water or bank products anymore, you want to be delivering something more sustainable to the world.
• And finally. We have to be honest, we find that people from traditional businesses often struggle here. We don’t work to backlogs, we don’t write business cases, but we prioritize effectiveness and efficiency above all else. We expect accountability without process, and responsibility without functional shoulder pads. We get stuff done by knowing what’s right, and sometimes that’s hard.
• This will be an important role, reporting into the US Head of Marketing.
