Finance Operations Lead (Major Projects)

Requirements of the role

Major infrastructure projects are central to the UK’s transition to Net Zero, and at Ofgem, we’re seeking a Finance Operations Lead to help shape how these projects are funded, managed and delivered.

We’re offering a permanent opportunity on a full or part-time basis (working at least 0.75 FTE) to join our Low Carbon RAB team within the Major Projects directorate. You will focus on a range of new-build, Regulated Asset Base (RAB) financed projects, including Sizewell C, Carbon Capture and Storage and Hydrogen Transport, supporting how these complex programmes are brought forward and delivered.

These projects rely on robust financial frameworks and oversight, and you’ll contribute to how costs, risk and value are understood, helping ensure projects are delivered efficiently and in the interests of consumers.

Operating at a senior level, you’ll lead how financial modelling and reporting underpin decision-making across major projects. You’ll also contribute to how financial approaches evolve over time, supporting wider policy development and ensuring consistency across programmes.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across policy, finance and technical disciplines, helping ensure complex programmes are delivered effectively. Alongside this, you’ll play a key role in supporting and developing others, contributing to a high-performing and inclusive team environment.

To be considered, you’ll need strong finance or commercial experience, a track record of leading the development and operation of complex financial models, and an understanding of regulatory and economic environments. You’ll also be able to apply your expertise in a way that supports clear decision-making and collaborative working.

In return, you’ll have the opportunity to work on projects that are central to the UK’s energy transition, applying your expertise to complex and high-profile programmes. You’ll be part of a supportive and inclusive team, with the opportunity to further develop your leadership and contribute to work that has national significance.

We have a critical purpose to ensure the energy system works in the interests of consumers, now and in the future. Join us and help shape how major energy infrastructure projects are delivered.
