About the Role
Octopus is building a new business line delivering low-cost, reliable, clean energy and faster speed-to-power for datacenters and large industrials. This is a quantitative role with direct exposure to large-scale innovative power projects where you'll own the project model, build pricing strategies and directly participate in final investment decisions.
Responsibilities
- Own the project model for each opportunity, including generation, BESS, flexible load, and network cost, covering capex, opex, revenue stack, IRR, and downside cases.
- Build project-specific models while developing toolings and standard assumptions to support the growing pipeline.
- Price the offer by turning a customer's load profile and reliability requirement into a deliverable price and structure (tariff, PPA, tolling, availability-based), allocating risk sensibly.
- Model storage and flexible load across wholesale, Balancing Mechanism, ancillary services, and Capacity Market.
- Quantify network charges (TNUoS, DUoS, BSUoS), curtailment, and connection options.
- Develop the business case by building internal and external presentations to support from indicative customer proposals to project final investment decisions.
- Track the portfolio and monitor live projects against approved cases, identifying and quantifying regulatory change.
- Support term sheets and diligence from indicative to signed.
Requirements
- 3–5 years in a numerate commercial role (infrastructure or renewables development, project finance, banking, energy trading or origination, strategy or energy consultancy).
- Financial modelling from first principles (DCF, IRR, scenarios and sensitivities) with the ability to build a model that others can follow and develop into a standard tool.
- Advanced knowledge of GB/European power markets and how network and connection costs impact a project.
- Advanced Excel and Python proficiency.
- Ability to take a messy, incomplete problem to a clear recommendation.
- Quantitative degree (economics, engineering, finance, maths, physics) or equivalent experience.
