Job Description & Qualifications

We’re making zero carbon happen

We’re OVO Group, a big family of companies united by a single vision: to get to zero carbon, fast. 

We call this Plan Zero – and it shows how we’ll be fighting the climate crisis and transforming the way people use energy over the next decade. To do this, we need the sharpest minds. Are you up for the challenge?

Do great green things with OVO Energy

So much has changed since we launched in 2009.  Our goal remains the same though: make energy cheaper, greener, and simpler. Just as it was on day one.

Everyone belongs at OVO

Our aim is to build a diverse and inclusive movement: teams of brilliant people, with unique talents, skills, passions, and experiences. 

We encourage everyone to join us, whatever your gender identity, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, life experience, or background. So please come as you are – we can’t wait to meet you.

Where in the world of OVO will I be working?

This role sits in Product Marketing as part of our growing Zero Carbon Living team, where we're responsible for supporting the development of products within the Zero Carbon Living space to help increase our efforts to decarbonise homes and transport for our 5 million customers’. The team is mainly based in our Bristol and London Hubs but this can be a remote role with travel to the office as and when required. 

What will I be doing?

Working closely with the Product Marketing Manager and the rest of the Zero Carbon Living team, the Product Marketing Executive will help OVO scale the Zero Carbon Living business and all of its product lines across E-mobility, decarbonisation of heat, renewable energy and innovation.

Key responsibilities include:

• Contribute ideas to the tactical product marketing plans for Zero Carbon Living
• Work with the broader marketing teams in LTV, Brand, PR and Performance Marketing to build customer facing content on our channels
• Work with our internal Creative Studio to develop creative briefs to support the implementation of agreed activity
• Support with any competitor analysis to help craft our strategy
• Implement test and learn plans and present findings
• Be the advocate and the voice for Marketing & Brand when it comes to Product/Proposition development
• Become a subject matter expert in their category
• Develop briefing packs to raise awareness and get consensus across the business for Zero Carbon Living products
