Management Accountant - 12 month FTC

Help us make a big green dent in the universe. We're on a mission to drive the global renewable energy revolution, and we need many more people to help us make our vision a reality. 

Octopus Energy Generation (OEGEN) is a leader in sourcing, investing in, and managing a wide range of utility-scale renewable energy assets. As we continue to expand our investment base, we are dedicated to building a diverse team that reflects the communities we serve. Currently, we manage a global portfolio of over £8 billion in renewable energy assets.

We are committed to delivering best-in-class responsible investment activity, offering like-minded investors the means and products to invest their capital sustainably. It is our ambition to change the entire energy lifecycle and make every green electron matter, delivering the best outcomes for customers, investors, the environment and society, accelerating the transition to net zero.

About the role:

The role sits within the OEGEN's Funds Finance team, reporting directly into a Finance Manager. OEGEN Funds Finance are responsible for the financial reporting and analysis for an expanding portfolio of renewable assets that are owned by a number of Retail, Institutional and Listed Funds. These assets have a growing international presence across the UK, US, Europe, Australia and Asia. The team interacts with several other teams across OEGEN and its wider business, so it is imperative that the Management Accountant is able to build strong working relationships with both internal and external stakeholders.

While much of the day to day operations and accounting are outsourced, this role will be responsible for the quality of the management accounts and financial information at the asset level and so will spend a high proportion of their time managing the performance of the external accounting teams. This will include supporting and improving information flows between teams, managing the quality of their outputs and establishing appropriate controls. This is a wide-ranging role and will require the ability to manage a range of stakeholders and deliver to tight timelines

This role is a 12 month fixed term contract
