About the role:

We are looking for a strategic and impact-driven Operations Implementation Director to lead cultural and operational transformation for energy retailers transitioning to the Kraken platform. This role is suited for a proven change leader with experience in operational restructuring, stakeholder engagement, and embedding new ways of working at scale within complex organisations.

As the Operations Implementation Director, you will be at the forefront of supporting energy retailers through major shifts in their operating models and organisational culture. While Kraken is the enabler, your focus will be on ensuring that clients fundamentally transform the way they work — aligning people, processes, and behaviours with the opportunities unlocked by the platform.

You’ll work closely with executive stakeholders, operational teams, and cross-functional Kraken experts to drive adoption of new workflows, mindsets, and service models. Success in this role requires strong leadership, a deep understanding of operational excellence, and the ability to influence and guide organisations through large-scale change.

This is not a technical implementation or training role — it’s about leading real transformation, challenging legacy thinking, and enabling our clients to operate more efficiently, customer-centrically, and sustainably in the green energy future.

You’ll play a key role in our mission to make sustainable living accessible and affordable — by helping utilities build the operational backbone to thrive in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.
