In the words of the team, you should leave your current role for this one because….

'How many people get to say that what I did today has a direct impact on a better tomorrow?'

Where you’ll work:

At OVO, we understand that a one size fits all approach doesn’t work for everyone. That’s why we created the OVO Way of Flexibility.

All our roles are hub based (Bristol, Glasgow or London), providing a dedicated space for collaboration, connection and teamwork. Due to the nature of this role, we're looking for candidates who are within commuting distance to our Bristol or London hub. You’ll also have the flexibility to work from home.

Everyone belongs at OVO

At OVO, we are on a mission to solve one of humanity's biggest challenges, the climate crisis. And we know it takes all of us to change the world. That's why we need diverse people from all abilities, gender identities, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, life experiences and backgrounds to join us.

Teamworking for the planet

Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here’s how:

We’ve made good progress on the UK’s path to net zero. But we can do better. Research shows that 100% renewable energy tariffs aren't actually making the grid greener. We have to go further. We need to save energy, use power at smarter times of the day and look at other ways to help our customers reduce their carbon footprint.

That’s where OVO Drive comes in, it's our dedicated electric vehicle business. We already provide hardware installations, home & public charging, but we want so much more, we want to build a single app experience that covers everything an EV driver could need this role will play a huge part in that.

We work like a start up- using our entrepreneurial, OVO Way spirit to drive us forward. And we’ll be flexible about how we do it - trying new things, growing the ones that work and learning new, green skills as we go. 

This role in a nutshell:

Sitting in the OVO Drive business this role will manage the EV charger installation proposition from end to end. This includes modelling the financials, managing growth, working with the marketing teams to drive top of funnel traffic and hand in hand with the product and tech teams to improve in funnel conversions, along with management and ownership of the up front technical survey of the home installation.  The only element of the journey this role does not have ownership of is the home installation and the on site engineers.

• Build and maintain the EV Charger budget.
