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:

Working as Senior Product Manager, you’ll have the opportunity to transform digital experiences, platforms and tools and define the future of these products. These help our customers identify, pay for and use the right products for them, in a way that suits them. At OVO you’ll work with a talented team of engineers, researchers, experience designers and analysts. You’ll build data-driven and hypothesis-led customer experiences, which deliver against our business strategy.

You’ll experiment your way to fulfilling customer needs and providing value, and you'll often be found story-mapping, canvas-filling, needs-assessing, optimising, stakeholder-managing and test-and-learning. You’ll work closely with the Head of Product and other Product Managers across our domains too.

We’re looking for a candidate who can challenge how things are done currently, pushing themselves and others to innovate to improve their approach to problems. 

This role in a nutshell:

We’re looking for senior product managers to join our growing OVO Energy Product teams. OVO Retail encompasses everything from customer facing experiences to agent tooling; supporting our members and helping them on their journey to zero carbon by bringing them the right products, at the right time, at the right price. Our teams focus on shaping, defining and delivering the digital experiences for our millions of members and our internal team. 

Your key outcomes: 

• Your focus will be on delivering and optimising great experiences, and ensuring our latest products are always available to buy, use or renew online. 
• Working with the Head of Product, you will own the product vision, strategy and roadmap throughout a product lifecycle.
• You will use data to create hypotheses to test, identify and solve problems and to simplify complex customer experiences.
• You are tenacious in gathering online and offline customer insights - including research, customer contact, complaints and reviews - to inform your decisions.
• You communicate clearly and can deliver clear, professional, and confident presentations to a wide range of stakeholders.
• Focus on how to get ideas off the ground quickly - identifying the thinnest slice possible to get meaningful customer data.
• Champion your product both in and outside your team - understand how it fits into the wider product offering, how it could evolve and inspire your team to do more.
• Work with others to set ambitious OKRs and take the responsibility to do what it takes to meet them.
• Be an ambassador for our wider product community - using that as an opportunity to learn, get support from other like minded individuals and give back to the wider OVO team.

You’ll be a successful Senior Product Manager here at OVO if…

• You are an accomplished and experienced product manager with a proven track record of delivering positive business outcomes over 8 + years
• You are comfortable with the ambiguity that comes from working in a fast-paced environment, highly matrixed environment and adaptable to changing market needs
• Experienced across software development and Agile practices
• You have a good understanding of Agile methods, cross functional working and development at different stages of the product life cycle.
• Experienced using optimisation tools, journey analysis tools etc. 
• You are data driven in measuring the impact of what you build and have a track record of improving your customer’s experience. 
• Experience in the energy and/ or of a highly regulated industry would be advantageous 
• Experience digitising ‘offline’ customer experiences is a plus.
• Find new concepts easy to understand, and show the tenacity to keep asking the right questions.
• Recognise assumptions (including your own) and seek ways to try and validate them.
