Market Development & Flexibility Associate

3–5 years in energy, ideally somewhere near distributed energy resources, DERMS, demand flexibility, virtual power plants, wholesale markets, utilities, or energy policy. You don't need all of it — you do need to be curious about the whole picture.

Strong quantitative and data analysis chops. You're excellent in Excel, and you can wrangle data in Python, R, or SQL or can leverage AI proficiently to support (or you're hungry to get there).

An interdisciplinary brain. You can move between commercial, analytical, regulatory, and delivery work and hold the connections between them.

Excellent communication. You write clearly and persuasively, and you can build and deliver a compelling presentation.

A high tolerance for ambiguity — You're comfortable context-switching, reprioritizing on the fly, and building the plane while flying it.

Ownership and pace. You drive your own work forward, take responsibility from idea to delivery, and don't wait to be told what to do next.

A willingness to learn faster than the space moves

This way of working isn't for everyone, and we want to be honest about that.

You might be used to places where each function sits neatly in its own box. It doesn't here. You'll see more, influence more, and occasionally deal with a bit more chaos too.

If you want freedom, responsibility, and the chance to put a big green dent in the world, you'll fit right in.

A seat at the table as Octopus builds its North America flexibility business from the ground up.

A mission you can feel good about — accelerating the shift to a cheaper, greener grid.
