Are you an analytical thinker who can translate complex regulatory and technical developments into clear, engaging insights and communications? The Smart Energy Code Company (SECCo) is looking for a Strategy & Communications Analyst to strengthen our strategic capability and support high-quality engagement with SEC Parties, Government, Ofgem and the wider smart metering ecosystem.

Smart Metering sits as a key enabler of a net‑zero energy system and there has never been a more important time for ensuring that smart meters and the supporting Smart Energy Code (SEC) arrangements are fit for the future. The parties to the SEC are at the forefront of developments that will allow energy consumers to make better use of their energy and reduce their energy bills, whilst ensuring more efficient use of the energy system and assets.

At the heart of decarbonising the UK economy, the energy sector is an exciting place to be! SECCo is arguably one of the most important bodies in ensuring we achieve the UK’s low‑carbon goals.

This role sits at the heart of that evolution, providing the analytical and narrative foundations that underpin SECCo’s corporate communications, strategy, Party engagement and organisational planning.
