UI/UX Designer

About Us The energy system works better when people can be part of it. At Octopus Energy, we do this every day: we make energy fairer and more accessible through technology. Present in Italy since 2022, we started from Ascoli Piceno, where our headquarters is located. Today we serve over one million customers, with a team of over 300 people in Ascoli Piceno, Milan and Rome, and over 250 million euros invested in the country. A growth based on a different approach to energy: simpler, more human, more technological.

How We Work We are not a traditional company, and we don't want to become one. We don't like bureaucracy, unnecessary procedures, or departments that pass problems onto each other. When a customer needs help, we want them to find people who can listen, take responsibility, and solve the problem. This approach has allowed us to achieve a rating of 4.9/5 on Trustpilot, reach first place in the Altroconsumo ranking, and win the 'Best Customer Service' award from Corriere della Sera.

Technology for Everyone Here, technology is not for a select few experts: it is a tool that helps everyone work better. You don't need to be a computer genius, but you do need curiosity. We use data, automation, and artificial intelligence to remove complexity, better understand problems, and focus more energy on what truly matters: improving how people experience energy.

What You Will Find at Octopus Octopus is the place for those who want to bring energy and common sense. Problems are not always orderly, answers are not always written in advance, and you often have to build on the go. But you won't be alone: you will work with curious, generous, and practical people who help each other and want to leave things better than they found them. We are already improving how energy works for people: if you want to take responsibility and contribute to this change, your work here can make a real difference.

Compensation Annual salary starting from €28,000, depending on experience Legislation requires us to indicate salary ranges, and we believe it's right to do so. At the same time, we don't like bureaucracy and don't believe a person's value can be confined to a spreadsheet. We prefer to act with fairness: the potential offer will be shaped based on the assessments made during the selection process, considering experience, skills, location, and fit for the role and what we are building.

Help us bring the Octopus revolution to Italy: send us your CV and tell us something about yourself.

But if this role truly excites you, even if you don't think you meet all the requirements, please apply anyway: you might be exactly who we are looking for. At Octopus, we want to work with decent, honest, and empathetic people. Our employees are our most valuable resource, and the diversity of opinions that everyone brings allows us to grow. We do not discriminate in any way: we provide equal opportunities to everyone in a fair and welcoming environment. We believe that many skills can be acquired, while passion, potential, and the desire to learn truly matter. Therefore, we value development paths and gender diversity at all levels.
