When we started back in 1995, we were the first company in the world to provide a new kind of electricity - the green kind.\nOur mission was, and remains, to change the way energy is made and used in Britain - by replacing fossil fuels with clean, renewable energy.\nWe don't just supply green energy, we use the money from our customers' bills to make it ourselves too - we have built windmills and sun parks in Britain. We call this turning 'bills into mills'.\nWe don't just focus on energy though- we built the Electric Highway, Britain's leading network of electric vehicle charging points; we helped Forest Green Rovers become the greenest football club in the world; and we launched Britain's greenest mobile phone service, Ecotalk, where they use the money from their customers' bills to protect and regenerate Britain's lost rainforests.\nEcotricity is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to providing equality for all.","description_format":"text","description_chars":8707,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Power Grid","Solar Energy"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-28T08:17:01Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-09-29T17:48:40Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-01T16:56:04Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-03T15:30:15Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-04T14:31:12Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-06T10:15:22Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-07T02:08:38Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-12T15:26:44Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-12T20:24:00Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-20T00:22:39Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-21T06:25:45+00:00","sources":["UK Home Office: register of licensed sponsors (workers)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ecotricity-product-owner","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ecotricity-product-owner.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T12:38:23Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":17851,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1776671},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1776671"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fecotricity-product-owner"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fecotricity-product-owner"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fecotricity-product-owner"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ecotricity-product-owner\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fecotricity-product-owner"}]}
