    Default job background
    Description
    The Strategy, Economics, Research and Net Zero (SERN) Directorate sits at the heart of Ofgem's work to deliver net zero and protect the interests of energy consumers. We work across the organisation - developing cross-cutting strategy and supporting the senior leadership and board to make Ofgem an even more dynamic and impactful organisation.

    Ofgem - and the wider energy sector - faces fundamental choices about the future - including how we get to net zero. We are seeking a high-calibre colleague to join the Directorate as Senior Strategy Manager, with responsibility for developing and running priority strategic projects to better understand these choices and making robust and impactful recommendations to our senior leadership team and board. This role provides a rare opportunity to directly shape the future UK energy system - with the successful candidate's recommendations likely to influence key decisions taken by Ofgem in the coming years.

They will be a proactive, skilled critical thinker and strong communicator. All team members are involved in a broad range of topics, with an understanding of the need to bring a strategic and analytical approach to the work at hand to distil complex problems into impactful projects.
