Experience: Mid Level
Working pattern: Full-Time
Reporting to: Thomas McBride - Senior Manager Growth Analytics
This role in 3 words: Data/Analytics/Insight
Top 3 qualities for this role: Technical Know How/Stakeholder Engagement/Proactivity
In the words of the team, you should leave your current role for this one because….
"Growth Analytics is at the heart of all the decision making and performance measuring of the Growth mission: to find, win and keep valuable customers. We convert data into many forms of insight to drive this mission"
Where you’ll work:
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.
Everyone belongs at OVO
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.
Teamworking for the planet
Everything we do here spins around So, naturally, the team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here’s how:
The Growth Analytics team 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 team is essential 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. We're therefore looking for someone 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.
This role in a nutshell:
Reporting to the Senior Growth Analytics Manager, you'll be working alongside team colleagues and a wider cross functional network to drive our applied analytics for Growth outcomes.
Your key outcomes will be:
We’ll pay you between £46,000 and £50,000, depending on your specific skills and experience. If your expectations are a little different, have a chat with us!
We keep our pay ranges broad on purpose to give us, and you, flexibility to match your experience to our zero carbon mission.
You’ll be eligible for an on-target bonus of 15%. We have one OVO bonus plan that focuses on the collective performance of our people to deliver our Plan Zero goal.
We also offer plenty of green benefits and progressive policies to help you feel like you belong at OVO…and there’s flex pay. It’s an extra 9% of your salary on top of your core pay to use as you like. You can take it as cash, add to your pension, or choose to spend it on a huge range of flex benefits.
Here’s a taster of what’s on offer:
For starters, you’ll get 34 days of holiday (including bank holidays).
For your health
