• Translate policy, regulatory, market, and technical developments into practical delivery approaches that address real industry challenges.
• Run engagement, training, and support activity for industry participants and senior stakeholders.
• Help clients improve outcomes for energy consumers and for the wider energy system by shaping and implementing effective strategies.
• Lead continuous improvement activity across services and delivery models.
• Take ownership of complex workstreams and multidisciplinary teams, ensuring quality, delivery, and outcomes are maintained even when the situation is unclear or changing.
• Contribute to the wider ET&U practice by building client relationships, supporting proposals, helping generate revenue, and developing people and the practice itself.

What the role requires

• Deep understanding of GB energy market regulation, including specialist knowledge of industry systems and the ability to turn regulatory and policy change into practical implications for organisations and programmes.
• Experience of energy system operations, including how the physical system works, how data moves through it, and the agreements that underpin those processes.
• Relevant background gained through work with transmission operators, system operators, distribution network operators or distribution system operators, or significant delivery partners to those organisations.
• Experience working with or for organisations across the regulated energy system, such as government, regulators, system operators, code and market bodies, energy suppliers, and network operators.
• Strong leadership and management consulting capability, including the ability to lead complex technical change through ambiguity.
• Working knowledge of modern architecture frameworks and technologies.
• Ability to build trusted relationships with senior clients and to identify and resolve issues effectively.
• Experience shaping and leading complex change programmes and workstreams.
• Ability to shape and oversee digital technology requirements as part of delivery.
• Track record of driving operational improvement and better delivery performance.
• Experience leading industry change and senior stakeholder engagement across complex environments with multiple parties.
• Ability to lead teams of different sizes, manage several workstreams at once, collaborate across organisational boundaries, and support the development of colleagues.
• Digital and systems experience, with the ability to connect business and industry needs with technology delivery.
• Experience operating at a senior level suitable for a Managing Consultant or Senior Manager position.
