Job description:

Energy policy is something that touches on every aspect of our lives - at home, at work and at play.

Energy fuels our society and our economy. That's why our policy work is so important, and so rewarding. It protects consumers. It enables businesses. It influences the entire energy industry.

And it helps to bring about the seismic societal and infrastructure changes that will be the foundations for a Net Zero future.

Rising prices and security of supply are challenging all parts of the energy sector to consider how we can collectively ensure that this crucial foundation for our society remains accessible to all.

And as well as the complexity of the here and now, we continue to look to the future - ensuring that energy policies support a shift away from fossil fuels and that new, renewable energy sources are identified and developed into viable alternatives.

And we are challenging the wholesale energy market to do more to ensure more efficient pricing and a better deal for consumers.

Such challenging times require bold action.

We are looking for people to meet the challenges we face head-on, and help us deliver a greener, fairer energy system.

Our policy practice is founded on three pillars: Strategy - ensuring that sound evidence and analysis informs our approach; Democracy - giving confidence that robust governance and accountability supports effective decision-making; and Delivery - effective implementation and delivery systems that see policy impact on practice.

The purpose of this specific role is to produce robust analysis to make evidence-based recommendations on technical policy areas to decision makers.
