Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here’s how:

Our team is responsible for the price setting of our energy tariffs as we work to value optimise within our pricing principles. The principles and strategies we develop have a significant impact on how we engage and retain our current customers and gain new customers so that we can bring them on a journey to net zero.

 

This role in a nutshell:

This is an exciting role responsible for delivering high profile analytical output to enable OVO to engage and retain customers and grow strategically. The role informs critical business planning and pricing processes against the backdrop of fast paced retail and wholesale markets.

 

Your key outcomes will be:

Within your first 3-6 months you’ll:

• Sharpen your understanding of the wholesale and retail market dynamics which impact OVO’s pricing and the regulatory framework in which OVO operates
• Understand and contribute to maintaining the price setting frameworks we use
• Track competitor behaviour and undertake analysis to better understand their strategies
• Support the presentation of pricing recommendations to senior management
• Collaborate with the wider business, including Propositions, Growth, Tariff Delivery and Energy Economics teams to deliver price changes and support improved agility of price changes
• Support and develop standardised ways to assess the short and long term value of potential new customer propositions and compare these against each other
• Work collaboratively with the wider OVO data analyst community to provide joined up insights on the impact of pricing decisions on customer acquisition, retention, gross margins, and value.
• Develop strong relationships with internal stakeholders across all levels to consolidate and cascade information, highlight risks and opportunities and develop business processes.

Systems: We primarily use Google Sheets so advanced experience in this or Microsoft Excel is a must. Experience in SQL is highly beneficial as we use BigQuery SQL for working with large volumes of data. Experience in Google Looker Studio and JavaScript Google Sheets macros is beneficial but not essential.
