## Job description

## What we do. Electric Car Leasing

Why we do it. Greener. Fairer. Future.

We are a market-leading, mission-driven organisation focused on accelerating the transition to a net-zero economy through innovative financing solutions. As we enter a significant period of growth, we are scaling our Capital Markets team to support our increasingly sophisticated funding requirements.

This is a high-growth opportunity for an analytical professional looking to build a career in Capital Markets. Joining as an Analyst, you will gain hands-on exposure to complex debt facilities and see the full lifecycle of a securitisation facility. You won't just be processing data; you will be learning how to structure and manage the capital which fuels a rapidly expanding leasing business.

## What you'll do

- Own the finance requirements for the development of our leasing and billing platform, ensuring it supports securitisation reporting, accounting treatment and day-to-day operational finance
- Translate complex finance processes into clear, testable requirements that engineering and product teams can build from
- Design and build new finance processes end to end and hand them over so they run reliably without you
- Identify and remove manual BAU work across Financial Operations, Financial Control, FP&A, Credit and Capital Markets
- Lead the practical deployment of AI (we use Claude Enterprise) to automate repetitive finance tasks, applying rigorous cost/benefit judgement
- Work collaboratively across Finance, Data, Product and Operations on problems that don’t sit neatly within one team’s remit
- Help drive AI and data literacy across the Finance team

## What you'll need

- 4+ years experience in consulting, finance transformation, finance systems, or finance-technology advisory, with accountability for delivery rather than contribution
- Experience shaping requirements for, implementing or advising on finance systems that connect billing, accounting, reporting and operational finance — you understand how data moves from a contract through to a report or regulatory return
- A consulting or internal-consulting background, with clear evidence of getting up to speed on unfamiliar finance processes quickly and driving structured problem solving independently
- The ability to translate finance needs into requirements technology and product teams can build from

## Nice to have

- In-house operating experience after consulting, ideally in a fast-moving scale-up or comparably autonomous environment

- Exposure to financial services, energy, leasing, billing, securitisation or other complex finance and operational systems

- Finance process improvement, workflow automation, data analytics, SQL or low-code automation experience — enough to have a real conversation with engineers and data people

- Practical AI literacy — you’ve used AI tools to improve real processes, not just trialled them

- A track record of building processes and operating models, not only producing recommendations

## Why else you'll love it here

- 💰 Wondering what the salary for this role is? Just ask us! On a call with one of our recruiters it's something we always cover as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary. The reason why we don't advertise is because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn't apply to Octopus - what's more important to us is finding the right octofit!
- 🎉 Octopus Energy Group is a unique culture. An organisation where people learn, decide, and build quicker. Where people work with autonomy, alongside a wide range of amazing co-owners, on projects that break new ground. We want your hard work to be rewarded with perks you actually care about! 🎁 Visit our perks hub - [Octopus Employee Benefits](https://octopus.energy/octopus-employee-benefits/)
- 🏆 Octopus Electric Vehicles, part of the Octopus Energy Group, won the Sunday Times [best company to work for in 2024](https://www.thetimes.com/static/best-places-to-work-2024-big/). We were named 6th out of the [top 100 start-ups](https://www.heytempo.com/super-startups-list-2025/) to work for by Tempo in 2025 and on Glassdoor we were voted [50 best places to work](https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/Award/Best-Places-to-Work-UK-2022-LST_KQ0,27.htm) in 2022.

We’ve also been placed in the [top 10 companies for senior leadership](https://www.businessleader.co.uk/the-top-25-uk-companies-for-senior-leadership-revealed-by-glassdoor/)
