We’re different.
You won’t believe it until you actually start working here. We try to explain it during the application process and through our Discovery Days but really, until you’re immersed in our culture, you’ll realize you’ve never worked anywhere like it.
At Octopus, you’re not a number.
You're a human, and we treat you like one. We want our customers to feel the same. Our goal is to genuinely help our customers.
We don’t lie - it’s not easy.
We are in the middle of an energy crisis, so expect to handle challenging questions about energy costs while providing support and reassuring advice to our customers across the country facing economic challenges.
You’ll need resilience to meet the demands of this role.
You’ll communicate with customers over the phone and email, with the freedom to help in a way you would like to be helped.
You’ll take ownership of their needs, finding solutions no matter what. During this time, our role requires active problem-solving and delivering solutions in a friendly, timely manner.
We treat our customers like family—patience, kindness, warmth. Customers send us poems, artwork, handwritten letters, photos of their families, pets—it's the Octopus effect.
Your colleagues will be some of the most supportive and enthusiastic people you’ll meet. They love disrupting the energy industry and sharing our mission to humanize customer service. We encourage questions, innovation, and idea sharing.
This role involves a lot of learning and work. In our fast-paced environment, you’ll encounter new problems daily, requiring creative and practical solutions. We’ll support your development and knowledge growth. If you have the right attitude and want to make a difference, we’ll go the extra mile for you.
As a company, we are always evolving through innovation. We seek team members who are flexible and adaptable.
