Job summary:

Ofgem exists to ensure safe, sustainable and affordable energy supply to British households and businesses.

Project management and delivery is central to Ofgem's work:
ensuring change is undertaken efficiently and effectively to deliver on Ofgem's regulatory and statutory obligations. You'll be working at the interface between government policy and private sector investment, where you can make things happen.


Your work will play a part in helping us protect energy consumers and make a successful transition to a net zero future.

Our strategic data and digitalisation programme is far-reaching and ambitious.

Its purpose is to deliver better information and choice for consumers, sharing of energy sector data to enable cross sector planning, improving Ofgem's regulatory decision-making and supporting Ofgem's strategic objectives.


The programme's strategic objectives include:

  • Ensure Ofgem's digitalisation infrastructure (People, Process and Technology) is appropriate, reduces complexity and enables innovation
  • Ensure Ofgem is digitalisation savvy, efficient and creates and delivers better data driven regulation
  • Ensure Ofgem's data is accessible, and interoperable with established governance and standards
Head of Programme is a key leadership role in overseeing the delivery of this high-profile strategic programme.

As a minimum, we expect that you will already be an accomplished senior programme management professional, who has successfully managed complex Data and Digitalisation change programmes, with multiple workstreams.


You will need to assure that you have a good knowledge in the key areas of Data and Digitisation and be able to establish trust and confidence.

As a professions-based organisation, we are serious about offering you professional development, training, and support.

You can also expect an excellent benefits package, a great working environment with hybrid working, and a shared sense of purpose.
