Job description:

Would you like to work in a friendly and encouraging team? Do you want to play a key part in the UK's Net Zero journey of decarbonising the electricity system?
If so, we are looking for three talented and motivated grade 7 implementation policy leads to drive forward the Governments Review of Electricity Market Arrangements (REMA) programme.
Current electricity market arrangements were implemented before renewable energy became significant for the UK's electricity generation mix. These markets need to change, and we need to ensure this proceeds in a coordinated and effective way.
This is a rich and complex policy area which offers an exciting opportunity to play a key role in shaping REMA policy implementation. This means understanding the strategic context and partnering with specific policy workstreams towards delivering shared objectives, as well as providing the right governance and effective programme management.
Our energy markets are ultimately responsible for sending the price signals to deploy a huge range of low carbon technologies for example solar and wind power, energy storage, hydrogen, and digitally enabled technologies in people's homes. Getting the market design right is therefore absolutely critical, and the results will be felt for decades to come. You will play a vital role in making this happen.
As part of the REMA delivery and implementation team, you will work closely with your G7 and G6 colleagues to build a high performing multidisciplinary team. You will work across DESNZ, HMG and with external stakeholders in Ofgem, ESO, LCCC and industry to shape and define the roadmap for implementation of preferred REMA policy options. You will provide expert advice to policy teams ensuring that the implementation considerations are fully developed as the programme moves from policy into implementation.

Person specification:

As part of the REMA delivery and implementation team you will work closely with colleagues and contribute to building a high performing multi-disciplinary team.

You will:

Build strong working relationships with REMA colleagues and develop our understanding of the implementation considerations relating to the REMA options under consideration.
Lead the process of working through the complex implementation issues that relate to REMA options
