At Octopus Energy Generation (OEGEN), we're passionate about powering a sustainable future. As pioneers in the renewable energy space, we don’t just invest in utility-scale projects; we invest in people, communities, and a greener tomorrow.
Since stepping into the renewables arena in 2010, we've made waves - becoming a top investor in onshore wind across mainland Europe and the largest backer of solar power in Europe. Today, we proudly manage over £8bn in renewable energy assets worldwide.
We are looking for an experienced Finance Systems Administrator with strong, practical knowledge of both Yooz and SAP. This role supports a complex portfolio of renewable energy assets and requires close collaboration with finance, fund, asset management, external asset managers, and third-party system providers.
Average of 3 days per week in the office - Initial 12-month fixed-term contract
About the Team:
You will join a dynamic transformation function supporting a complex portfolio of global renewable assets. You’ll work in close collaboration with internal Finance, Fund, and Asset Management teams, as well as external asset managers and third-party software providers, ensuring robust controls and seamless system operations.
What you'll do
- Yooz Administration: Act as the primary system administrator for Yooz, managing supplier onboarding, bank detail changes, user roles, approval workflows, and query resolution.
- SAP & Systems Support: Support day-to-day SAP finance processes, performing data reconciliations between systems while troubleshooting interface or transaction errors.
- Controls & Risk Management: Enforce strict financial controls over payments and supplier master data, maintaining clear audit trails, ensuring segregation of duties, and proactively escalating fraud risks.
- Continuous Improvement: Assist with continuous improvement initiatives, including system enhancements, software integrations, user-access reviews, testing, and process simplification across finance platforms.
What you'll need
Essential
- Demonstrable hands-on experience administering Yooz and supporting SAP within a live finance environment.
- Proven experience managing purchase-to-pay (P2P) processes, supplier master data, invoice workflows, and strict financial controls.
- Sharp analytical problem-solving skills to independently investigate data mismatches, interface errors, and system-processing issues.
- Clear, plain-English communication and collaboration skills to effectively liaise with internal teams and external stakeholders.
- High attention to detail, sound judgement, strong integrity regarding risk management, and the ability to handle high transaction volumes.
- Experience supporting system changes, testing, or migration activity.
Desirable
- Experience integrating or reconciling data between Yooz and SAP.
- Background in an asset-backed, renewable energy, infrastructure, or investment management environment.
- Knowledge of segregation-of-duties frameworks, audit requirements, and regulated environments.
- Experience working with external asset managers, outsourced finance providers, and third-party system vendors.
- Familiarity with finance reporting platforms (such as Horizon) and process mapping/documentation.
