Senior Manager – Strategy and Systems Good Growth

Good Growth is responsible for delivering and implementing the Mayor’s environment, transport and economic strategies and for the effective implementation of the London Plan. The Directorate is also responsible for regeneration (where the programme is not housing led), enterprise, growth, capital projects and design work.

The Energy Transition team at the GLA is focused on delivering the Mayor’s vision for a cleaner, greener, healthier city for all Londoners. The team’s work is fundamentally about reducing inequality through a just energy transition. This involves amongst other things supporting the decarbonisation of homes, hospitals, schools and other buildings across the capital alongside supporting Londoners to play a direct role through community energy projects and improving our sustainability through reducing waste.

This will help to protect Londoners from fluctuating energy costs and fuel poverty, support better energy security, grow the energy jobs market, improve the comfort and health of Londoners by making sure homes are cooler in summer and warmer in winter and save the public sector money on bills that can be better spent on essential services.

This newly created role will oversee the strategy and systems work of the Energy Transition team. Working alongside the delivery arm, this senior leader will ensure that there is robust policy to support all our programme initiatives, provide strategic leadership on emerging energy and waste issues, ensure the effective use of levers like the London Plan and London Energy Mission in delivering a just energy transition and support joined up working across the wider GLA in service of Mayoral priorities in relation to energy, environment and beyond.

This role will work closely with other policy teams, communications leads, the Mayor’s Office, external stakeholders and delivery teams to ensure that all our work is in the best interests of London, informed by sound evidence and impactful, always.
