Learning & Development Specialist

🌍 We’re Revolutionizing Energy to Change the World

At Octopus Energy, we’re not your typical utility company. We’re a team of passionate people working every day to make energy 100% renewable, accessible, and fair for everyone.

We believe technology and innovation are key drivers of change. Our mission is to transform the way the world consumes energy breaking down barriers, simplifying processes, and delivering a more human and transparent service.

That’s why our commitment is clear: clean energy should be the norm, not the exception. To achieve this, we combine sustainability with a people-first approach, delivering outstanding service and building a team that shares our vision.

💡 But none of this would be possible without people like you. To keep growing and transforming the energy sector, we’re looking for talent that wants to make a real difference. If you want to be part of this change, bring your energy, and help build a greener future, we want to meet you!!

🔍 What are we looking for?

We're looking for a Learning & Development Specialist to join our People Ops team and help us empower the growth of our people at Octopus Energy Spain.
