We can't hire everyone… but we can help them shine somewhere brilliant.
At Octopus, we're lucky to attract some incredibly talented humans. And while we can’t bring every talented person into our team, we can help them land somewhere that’s just as mission-driven. That’s why we’re sharing opportunities from MOPO; a company we’ve proudly backed through a strategic investment.
MOPO is transforming access to clean, affordable energy across Sub-Saharan Africa with its pioneering solar battery technology. As part of our partnership to accelerate global electrification and leapfrog dirty fossil fuels, we’re supporting their hunt for exceptional talent. If you share our passion for tech-driven climate solutions, this could be your chance to make a serious impact.
What is the role
Joining their Sheffield-based team, you'll be driving the product development of their batteries and solar hubs—the core hardware that powers our energy distribution network across Africa. You'll guide cross-functional teams spanning mechanical, electronics, software, and firmware to bring these products from concept through to production, field deployment and operations support.
Working closely with their CEO (also Head of Product), you'll drive the successful planning and execution of multi-disciplinary initiatives that integrate hardware and software systems with their Chinese supply chain. From early-stage planning through to post-deployment support, you'll ensure their products get to market on time and continue to perform reliably in the field. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, excels at balancing multiple priorities, and brings strong organisational and communication skills to drive alignment across diverse teams and time zones.
