Head of Policy (Intelligent Oversight Development)

We’re offering a permanent opportunity within our Network Price Controls directorate, where you’ll lead the development of our Intelligent Oversight approach. This is a newly developing area of work, giving you the opportunity to shape frameworks, processes and regulatory approaches from the very beginning.

Intelligent Oversight is focused on how Ofgem identifies issues earlier, strengthens regulatory assurance and applies more proportionate and effective responses across energy network companies. Your work will contribute to how this approach is designed, embedded and applied across the organisation.

You will have the chance to influence a major new direction for Ofgem, working on approaches that will support the future regulation of energy networks. Alongside this, you’ll help build capability across teams, embedding consistent approaches and supporting continuous improvement as the work develops.

But what will you need? Experience leading policy development and operational design within a regulated, supervisory or performance oversight environment will be vital, and you’ll be someone with strong policy development and writing skills. You will also need the ability to shape clear frameworks, translate complex evidence into practical recommendations and work across multidisciplinary teams to deliver outcomes. Strong communication, stakeholder management and influencing skills will be essential, alongside experience designing and embedding new approaches within evolving environments.

In return, you’ll have the opportunity to play a key role in a major new area of regulatory oversight at an early stage of development, making a real difference to work that is both strategically important and nationally significant. What’s more, you’ll discover a collaborative and inclusive environment, and an outstanding rewards and benefits package.

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 the future of Intelligent Oversight across Great Britain’s energy networks.
