Managing Consultant / Senior Manager – ETU – Energy Markets, Regulation, and Systems Operations

Managing Consultant / Senior Manager – ETU – Energy Markets, Regulation, and Systems Operations Overview

Capgemini Invent is looking for an experienced Managing Consultant or Senior Manager to join its Energy Transition & Utilities practice, with a focus on energy markets, regulation, and systems operations. The team works with clients facing major change across the energy sector, combining strategic thinking, creativity, scientific rigour, and technology-enabled delivery to help solve complex transformation challenges. This role sits within the Central Markets area of the practice and is intended for someone who can help shape and lead advisory, consulting, and transformation work at scale.

The wider Energy Transition & Utilities practice supports organisations across energy networks, energy retail, central markets, water, and nuclear. Demand for the team’s services is growing because of major investment across the sector and Capgemini Invent’s position in the market. The successful candidate will bring experience from Great Britain energy markets and will use that background to influence technical and regulatory change across organisations and industry participants, helping drive broader market and whole-system transformation.

What you will do

• Lead the design and evaluation of technical changes affecting central energy market systems.
• Oversee the delivery of industry change from a central code body perspective, ensuring coordination across all affected parties.
• Provide senior-level advice to clients and stakeholders on the technical aspects of regulation and the systems that support it.
• Convert policy, regulatory, market, and technical developments into practical delivery approaches and workable solutions.
• Run engagement, training, and support activities for industry participants and senior stakeholders.
• Help shape and implement strategies that improve outcomes for energy consumers and the wider energy system.
• Lead continuous improvement initiatives across services and delivery processes.
• Manage complex workstreams and multidisciplinary teams, maintaining accountability for quality, outcomes, and delivery in ambiguous environments.
• Contribute to wider ET&U initiatives by building client relationships, supporting proposals, and helping generate revenue.
• Support the development of colleagues and the broader practice.

What the team is looking for

• Strong expertise in Great Britain energy market regulation, including the ability to interpret regulatory and policy developments and explain what they mean in practice for organisations and programmes.
• Deep understanding of energy system operations, including the physical system, the data that moves through it, and the agreements that underpin it, ideally gained through work with transmission operators, system operators, distribution network operators, distribution system operators, or major delivery partners to those organisations.
• Experience in central markets, gained through work with or for organisations across the regulated energy system, such as government, regulators, system operators, code and market bodies, energy suppliers, and network operators.
• Senior consulting and leadership capability, including the ability to lead complex technical change in uncertain conditions.
• Familiarity with modern architecture frameworks and technologies.
• Ability to build trusted relationships with senior clients and to identify and resolve issues effectively.
• Experience leading major change programmes and workstreams.
• Ability to shape and oversee digital technology requirements.
• Track record of improving operations and delivery performance.
• Experience leading industry change and senior stakeholder engagement in complex, multi-party settings.
• Ability to lead teams of different sizes, coordinate several workstreams, work across organisational boundaries, and deliver positive outcomes while helping colleagues grow.
• Digital and systems experience, with the ability to bridge business, industry, and technology concerns.
