Octopus isn’t like your average company. While the last 21 years have seen us grow to more than 2,500 people and 2.5 million customers across the Group, we still like to think of ourselves as a bit like a start-up.
For us, great business is simply about how we make our customers feel. That’s why we hire as much for values as we do for our skills.
Octopus is full of open, vulnerable and helpful people who always want the best – for our customers and for each other.
Octopus is a group of innovative, entrepreneurial businesses investing in the people, ideas and industries that will help to change the world. We are experts in financial services and energy, and we’re also a certified B Corp, meaning we care as much about the impact of our investments as the returns they generate. Today we manage more than £10.6* billion on behalf of retail and institutional investors. Our energy supply business is one of the fastest growing companies in the UK, reaching 2 million customers in just five years, and is the only supplier to be recommended by Which? four years in a row.
Octopus Energy, Octopus Giving, Octopus Moneycoach, Octopus Investments, Octopus Renewables, Octopus Real Estate, Octopus Ventures, Octopus Wealth and Seccl Technology are all part of Octopus Group. Visit octopusgroup.com.

Diversity, in all its forms, makes a business stronger. As such, we’re committed to promoting equal opportunities for growth and development regardless of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, or socio-economic background.
We believe strongly that teams are at their best when everyone feels safe to bring their whole self to work, and we have an in-house working group dedicated to making sure that is the case at Octopus.
We’re proud to have created a culture where people talk openly about their mental health. We don’t believe the statistic that one in four of us has a mental health issue. We think we all do. Just like our physical health, we’re all on a spectrum and there are days when we feel great and days when we don’t.
That’s why, a few years ago, we set up Anchor, a range of mental health support services for our employees. Each month, there are 80 slots available for mental health coaching with Sanctus, a company that helps people take better care of their mental health.
A career at Octopus means being part of an inclusive, dynamic culture where everyone feels empowered to challenge convention and create meaningful change, not just for ourselves, but for society.
