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.
