At OVO, we understand that a one size fits all approach doesn’t work for everyone. That’s why we created the OVO Way of Flexibility.

All our roles are hub based (Bristol, Glasgow or London), providing a dedicated space for collaboration, connection and teamwork. You’ll also have the flexibility to work from home.

At OVO, we are on a mission to solve one of humanity's biggest challenges, the climate crisis. And we know it takes all of us to change the world. That's why we need diverse people from all abilities, gender identities, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, life experiences and backgrounds to join us.

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:

This role is part of the Growth Analytics team. Our team's focus is very much that of 'applied analytics' - developing, running and maintaining analytical assets which support the commercial objectives of the wider OVO Growth team. The Growth team itself is concerned with finding, winning and keeping valuable customers across the range of OVO propositions:
Energy, Home Services, Smart Metering and Zero Carbon Living.

The Growth Analytics team is crucial to driving better decisions across these activities, and quantifying the impacts of these decisions via comprehensive Performance Analytics. With our focus on applied analytics, we are not part of centralised data science and data engineering teams - however we do engage with such colleagues to build and run crucial analytics assets which drive Growth. Therefore we are looking for a Growth Analytics Manager with an understanding of the skills and processes across the analytics spectrum, including data asset design, process engineering, visualisation and insight.

We tend not to be the team which builds machine learning models but we do deploy these as part of a prescriptive analytics approach.

Reporting to a Senior Growth Analytics Manager, the Growth Analytics Manager will work alongside team colleagues and a wider cross functional network to drive our applied analytics for Growth outcomes.
