We're making energy fair, clean, and simple for all using technology.
Octopus Energy started with a bold idea: to build Britain’s first truly digital energy supplier. By combining world-class tech with brilliant humans who care deeply about customers and driving the renewable energy transition, we made it happen and in 2025, we became Britain’s largest energy supplier. Octopus Energy Group is a global energy transition collective. 10 businesses working across 4 continents to tackle energy transformation at nearly every front. And we constantly push to make energy better. Tirelessly campaigning for fair protections for customers. And building innovative technologies that forge a path to a green energy system. We’re made up of 10,000+ authentic, committed people working around the world on stuff you'd never expect. We're united by a shared goal: to drive the global green energy revolution. Read our Spotlight series to meet some of the team.
We're looking for a Regional Leader to join our East Anglia Field Sales team.
We’re not here to do field sales the way it’s always been done…At Octopus Energy, we’re building something different.
We're bringing together social engagement, retail, events and face-to-face conversations to create a completely new way of welcoming customers to Octopus. We’re changing the landscape of traditional field marketing and customer facing interactions.
The role will be about more than simply bringing new customers to Octopus. You’ll lead a team responsible for welcoming new customers, switching their energy supply to Octopus, and helping our existing customers discover and adopt our growing range of Low Carbon Tech products.
We're looking for a leader of a totally new concept within field sales who wants to help build it here in the East of England.
What you'll do
- As Regional Leader for East Anglia, you’ll grow, develop and lead our Norfolk team of face-to-face ambassadors and their Team Leader, setting the standard for performance, culture and conduct
- You’ll spend around 90% of your time at venues with your team. You'll be right there in the action: coaching, supporting, and demonstrating what true customer love looks like so every individual can reach their potential
- You know that mind-blowing results don't happen by accident - they come from getting stuck in, nailing the details, and doing the right things consistently. You’ll use data and real insights to coach your team right past their targets
- You’ll be a frontline ambassador for Octopus Energy, ensuring your team delivers an exceptional customer experience while living our culture and values
- You’ll work closely with your Divisional Leader and fellow Regional Leaders to consistently share good ideas, while being confident to challenge upwards as well as lead your team
- You love having the freedom to crack on and do your best work. You’re not about being the loudest person in the room; instead, you use your brilliant ideas to make a massive impact.
What you'll need
- You're completely comfortable where the action is - whether that’s in face-to-face sales, events, retail, or D2D - having spent time on the frontline figuring out exactly how to deliver outrageously good customer experiences.
- You’re a natural team builder who leads from the front, knowing what makes people tick and believing in your bones that a team does its best work when given genuine support, trust, and the freedom to own their results.
- You pitch with quiet confidence and don't shy away from the tough stuff, meaning you're totally comfortable sharing brilliant ideas with senior folks, having honest conversations, and respectfully challenging the status quo if you know there's a better way.
- Driven by a curious, commercial mindset and bags of resilience, you’re always looking at the bigger picture - and when things don't go to plan, you just dust yourself off, learn from it, and crack on.
- You’re wonderfully data-savvy, loving the freedom to dig into the numbers and use real insights to spot opportunities and make things run even better.
