The team focuses on the end-to-end customer journey of purchasing, installing and monitoring the technologies. 

What does it mean to be part of the LCT data team?

The Octopus data team builds tools, pipelines, analysis and machine learning products across the business - we are organised so that each team or ‘pod’ is embedded within and focused upon a specific domain - the LCT data team is dedicated to the Low Carbon Tech business. The data team work closely with other pods to maintain the different tools we build - it’s a collaborative environment and we encourage everyone in the team

  • Ideally 4+ years of professional experience

  • Be highly data literate and numerate - can make sense of lots of data and shape it into a coherent structure
