What we do. Electric Car Leasing

Why we do it. Greener. Fairer. Future.

We are looking for a super collaborative Product Manager to join our London team in the development of one of Octopus Group’s most exciting businesses, and help accelerate the British driving public on their energy transition.

We are building a whole new way for drivers to join the electric revolution and not only learn about and shop for their EV online, but experience a ‘lease for life’ through an industry changing customer experience.

The Product team is crucial in defining and bringing to market this vision, while working hand in hand with teams across the company to deliver it in record time.

This role will focus on building out the back office finance and credit tools, to unlock 10x growth and innovative propositions and new markets.
