Over the last decade, Octopus Energy Group has grown from a UK-based startup into the country’s largest energy supplier and a global leader, now serving over 10 million customers in eight countries.

The Analytics Platform team is a new addition to the company, focused on unifying analytics tools and creating a strategy for consistent data modeling across all our international operations. We’re developing a platform that allows each country to integrate their data and access standardized insights—helping to enhance customer experiences locally and provide global metrics for leadership.

Our goal is to create an analytics platform where:

– Data producers can easily build efficient pipelines from raw data to insights.
– Modeling and business intelligence can be scaled across all Octopus Energy entities worldwide.

Producers can share insights through:

– Notebooks for in-depth analysis and storytelling.
– Dashboards for real-time domain updates.

And for data consumers:

– It’s easy to find the information they need.
– They can trust the accuracy of metrics and dashboards.
– They can self-serve when necessary.
– They can access data through automation.

What you’ll be doing:

– Designing, documenting, and advising on:
– Using dbt to model analytics for business domains within a data mesh framework.
– Creating charts and dashboards with modern BI tools.
– Implementing robust testing frameworks (e.g., dbt_expectations, Elementary) to ensure data quality.
– Developing data governance and documentation strategies to enhance discoverability and consistency.
– Building CI/CD pipelines for testing and deploying analytics and BI models.
– Creating monitoring and alerting tools to track analytics platform performance.
