We can't hire everyone… but we can help them shine somewhere brilliant.

At Octopus, we're lucky to attract some incredibly talented humans. And while we can’t bring every talented person into our team, we can help them land somewhere that’s just as mission-driven. That’s why we’re sharing opportunities from MOPO; a company we’ve proudly backed through a strategic investment.

Already operating in Nigeria, DRC, Sierra Leone and Liberia, their solar power stations distribute energy through proprietary MOPO Batteries managed by a network of local agents.
