Job summary:

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.

Joining our policy team and be part of the forefront of change, influencing the energy industry, and contributing to a Net Zero future.

We are on the lookout for individuals who have a proven track record of delivering tangible benefits for consumers, communities, or society at large.

Your diverse background, whether in strategy development, policy analysis, financial management, or operational delivery, will be valued as we work together to tackle the multifaceted challenges of the energy sector.

At the heart of our policy practice are three pillars: Strategy, ensuring evidence and analysis inform our approach; Democracy, ensuring robust governance supports effective decision-making; and Delivery, implementing policies that make a real impact.

If you champion a culture of inclusion, celebrate diversity, and are passionate about representing the interests of consumers and communities, you could be the change-maker we are looking for.

As a Senior Policy Lead in our Low Carbon Regulated Asset Base (LC RAB) team, you will play a crucial role in shaping policies for Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), New Nuclear, and Hydrogen (H2) Transport.

This exciting opportunity involves providing expert advice on financial matters related to LC RAB projects, influencing regulatory decisions, and advocating for policies that align with consumer interests.

Your responsibilities will include leading policy development and delivery, collaborating with cross-disciplinary teams, and building strong stakeholder relationships.

As part of our flexible resourcing model, you will have the opportunity to work on diverse projects, supporting your career and personal development goals.

If you are passionate about the energy sector, share our commitment to sustainability, and are ready to take on the challenges of a fast-paced environment, we invite you to be a part of our team.

Together, we will shape the future of energy policy and contribute to a more sustainable and inclusive society.

Join us in making a meaningful impact on the energy landscape and be a driving force behind the transition to a low-carbon future.

Ofgem can offer you a comprehensive and competitive benefits package which includes a 20% hybrid working policy, up to 30 days annual leave after two years, and flexible working arrangements.

The team's remit currently includes Carbon Capture Utilisation and Storage (CCUS), New Nuclear, and Hydrogen (H2) Transport.

As part of a cooperative and interdependent team of policy, finance, engineering, legal and regulatory experts, new joiners to the team will have the opportunity to take responsibility for managing aspects of the programme and to undertake detailed development of core components of the regulatory regime for Ofgem's Low Carbon RAB work.
