In this case, we're looking for someone who:

Good electricity industry knowledge and some level of understanding of how the energy market operates and the challenges the industry, specifically Markets face, in the path towards Net Zero.
Knowledge or experience in change management, particularly developing complex changes that impact multiple stakeholders and taking them through to implementation
Stakeholder management both internally and externally is key.
Aptitude to take complex topics and present them in a simple way to a range of stakeholders.

A competitive salary between £48,000 - £57,000 pa - dependent on capability.

As well as your base salary, you will receive a bonus based on personal and company performance and a competitive contributory pension scheme where we will double match your contribution to a maximum company contribution of 12%.

You will also have access to a number of flexible benefits such as a share incentive plan, salary sacrifice car and technology schemes, support via employee assistance lines and matched charity giving to name a few.

About us:

The ESO has a key role to play in tackling climate change by transitioning GB's electricity system to net zero.

We already operate the fastest decarbonising electricity system in the world, with an ambition for zero carbon operation by 2025.

And by 2035, we want to run 100% clean, green energy, all the time.

We welcome the recent announcement, by BEIS and Ofgem, to create a Future System Operator that builds on the track record and skills of the ESO with enhanced roles and responsibilities to unlock additional value for consumers and drive towards net zero.
