- Take concepts from idea to operation, such as subscription products and new business vertices.
- Iterate the business model and evolve the franchise proposition.
- Build new propositions with OVO Energy, pairing installations with tariffs.
- Run initiatives independently with Revenue and Operations teams, and directly with franchisees.
- Evaluate and potentially deliver on new business opportunities, such as entering the funded space, selling plug-in solar panels, insurance products, adjusting fees, or entering the Irish market.
Requirements

- Commercial and/or analytical experience, for example in strategy consulting roles.
