About the role
Full job description
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. The deals are first-of-a-kind: private wire, behind-the-meter generation and storage, flexible load, novel grid connections. This is a quantitative role with direct exposure to large-scale innovative power projects. You'll own the project model, build pricing strategies and directly participate to final investment decisions.
Own the project model for each opportunity - generation, BESS, flexible load, network cost; capex, opex, revenue stack, IRR, downside cases. Build project-specific models while developing toolings and standard assumptions to support our growing pipeline Price the offer. Turn a customer's load profile and reliability requirement into a deliverable price and structure - tariff, PPA, tolling, availability-based - and show which one allocates risk sensibly for both sides. Value the flex. 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. Build internal and external presentations to support from indicative customer proposals to project final investment decisions. Track the portfolio and read the market. Monitor live projects against approved cases - spend, milestones, connection dates - and identify early and quantify regulatory change (connections reform, REMA, network charging). Support term sheets and diligence from indicative to signed.
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. You can build a model someone else can follow and eventually develop it as a standard tool for other team members to use. Advanced knowledge of GB/European power markets, and how network and connection costs land on a project. Advanced Excel and Python Able to take a messy, incomplete problem to a clear recommendation Quantitative degree - economics, engineering, finance, maths, physics - or equivalent experience. It would be nice if you have... Datacenters, large industrial load or behind-the-meter/private wire projects; BESS revenue stacking; a PPA, tolling or connection agreement taken to signature; Aurora, PLEXOS or equivalent.
