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!
The OVO ambition is to reach 5 million customers that are bought into our carbon net zero ambition and ultimately become Britain’s decarbonisation partner. The Direct Partnership strategy will be key to making this happen, OVO Partnerships will be front and centre, building relationships with our members and bringing to life OVO products and the journey we want to take them on. We don’t just want OVO to be our members' energy partner, we want to decarbonise their homes, and we have the product suite to help them on that journey. The Partnerships channels will be showcasing our product portfolio directly to consumers.
The Partnerships teams have a broad remit and this role will report into the Partnerships Director and work very closely with the Property Partnerships, Brand Partnerships, and Partnerships Value teams. The combined Partnerships operation will be the largest acquisition channel supporting OVO’s growing scale and ambition. This central role leads on the vision and channel delivery of the OVO products to Britain’s homes.
What will I be doing?
You will define and execute on the channel strategy to build sustainable, volume driving acquisition partners that deliver significant lifetime value over five years. The partners in this channel support all product categories in Energy, Home and Drive.
As this is a new area OVO is investing in, the channels will be developed all the way from partner selection utilising the OVO RFP process, through to launch, scale, management, and optimisation. It is an exciting opportunity and you will get to make your mark right from the beginning.
Well beyond customer insight and energy sales, your team works with Product to build slick +1 product selling methods including Home Services, EV charging, Smart metering and OVO Greenlight.
Running a results oriented team, you will take ownership for all aspects of your business area, including Finance and Quality Assurance. There is not an area of the business that you and your team wouldn’t be working with, an exciting challenge in which stakeholder management is integral.
