Role

We are looking for two CRM Managers to fulfil a dedicated role on our longest standing client - Ovo Energy. These are for either a 6-month or 12-month contract, employed by Soul, but embedded into the client's CRM team.

OVO is a challenger in the residential energy market, taking the bold step of acquiring one of the big six players (SSE) in 2020, to take a leading position in the market and now grow further as the energy market continues to open up again.

We are looking for someone who thrives on a challenge, is willing to get stuck in, roll their sleeves up - a real team player with a can-do attitude.

This is a hybrid working role, allowing for a working from home arrangement for the majority of time, but typically may include one day of face-to-face meetings every month, either in London, Bristol or Glasgow with the OVO CRM team. There will also be an initial period of weekly face-to-face immersion with the team at Soul, in central London.
