**Working for us**

At Origin we have a strong purpose and values that challenge us to find the answers to the big energy questions. Every person that works with us helps us reach that goal. If you bring good energy to Origin, you’ll get it in return. A challenging career. An exciting industry. And the support to grow and explore your potential.

**About Retail X**

Retail X is the strategic partnership with Octopus Energy that we announced in May 2020 Partnership-with-Octopus. Through this partnership, we will empower our people to deliver outstanding customer service and propositions that embrace a smarter, cleaner energy future.

We will do this by adopting the Octopus technology platform, Kraken, and by replicating their customer centric operating model which is built around creating autonomous teams, a culture of customer and employee trust, and puts the energy specialist at the centre of everything they do.

There is great alignment between the Octopus approach and our Origin values and retail strategy. The partnership will enable us to further accelerate the execution of our retail strategy. We are excited to share this unique opportunity where people can contribute to the future of the retail business. The challenge ahead of us is substantial. The opportunity, even bigger. Come be part of something truly transformational.

You’ll be part of our Energy Sales Specialist team, where you’ll will be at the heart of everything we do - working with customers. You will proactively support new and existing Origin customers with sales activity including win-back, cross-sell, and move and acquisitions, ensuring utility needs for residential and SME customers are met. You’ll be fully trained in every aspect of the customer experience and be able to help with any problem. Every day, we come across problems not seen before, and those in Retail X are tasked with bringing about awesome solutions while keeping up with rapid fire change as we grow. Expect the unexpected.
