Strategy Manager

Overview

Ofgem is evolving, just as the energy sector it regulates continues to evolve. We’re looking for Strategy Managers to help shape how our organisation responds to change, ensuring we remain ready to deliver the infrastructure, resilience and clean power ambitions that will define the UK's energy future.

Ofgem is Great Britain’s independent energy regulator. We’re at the forefront of change across the sector, driving toward Net Zero whilst protecting consumers, especially vulnerable people.

We're offering a permanent opportunity within our Infrastructure Group, where you'll help shape our response to the Ofgem Review. Rather than simply responding to change, you'll lead analysis, coordination and strategic advice on review implications and the associated risk for the Infrastructure Group.

This is your chance to define how we are positioned to implement change, whilst remaining focused on our major priorities surrounding clean power and major energy infrastructure. It’s a multi-faceted challenge that will see you working across the Group and the wider organisation, looking at the bigger picture and helping shape the decisions that will define our future.

You'll be tackling a broad range of objectives, helping shape organisational priorities, influence major decisions and turn ideas into practical action. There's genuine variety, real ownership and the chance to see your thinking make a real difference.

You'll bring strong experience of strategy development, complex problem solving and high-quality analysis within a policy, regulatory or corporate strategy environment. You'll be confident turning complex evidence into practical recommendations, influencing senior stakeholders and communicating with clarity across organisational boundaries. Alongside excellent judgement and organisational skills, you'll thrive when balancing competing priorities within an evolving environment.

In return, you'll join us during one of the most significant periods of change in our history, giving you opportunities to grow and develop, diversify and define your skills. It's a chance that few strategy roles can offer, and one where you can make a lasting contribution to the future of energy regulation.

We have a critical purpose to ensure Ofgem continues to evolve alongside the energy sector it regulates. Join us and help shape the strategy that will support that mission.

Please ensure you demonstrate clearly, within your supporting statement, how you meet each of the essential criteria. In the event of receiving a large number of applications, an initial sift may take place on just the lead criteria indicated in the essential criteria.
