Lead Financial Policy Specialist

Requirements of the role

Financial resilience is a critical factor in today’s energy market. At Ofgem, we deliver robust analysis that supports our policies, organisation and the wider industry, and we’re seeking a Lead Financial Policy Specialist to drive this important work.

We’re offering a permanent opportunity within our Financial Resilience and Controls Policy team, where you’ll contribute to how financial safeguards are designed, assessed and strengthened across our regulatory framework.

This work focuses on areas such as capital adequacy, liquidity, governance and insolvency, helping ensure the companies we regulate remain stable and that risks are effectively managed in the interests of consumers.

You’ll operate in a high-profile and fast-moving area, contributing to how financial resilience is understood and applied in practice. Working with colleagues across Ofgem and with external stakeholders, you’ll help ensure decisions are grounded in strong evidence and reflect wider economic and commercial considerations.

To be considered, you’ll need significant experience of leading analysis to support policy development or evaluation, using both quantitative and qualitative evidence to inform decisions. You’ll be an effective leader with a strong understanding of financial resilience, capital and liquidity, or related prudential frameworks, gained within a regulatory, economic or financial institution setting.

In return, you’ll have the opportunity to work on issues that are central to how the energy sector manages financial risk, applying your expertise to complex and high-impact challenges. You’ll be part of a collaborative and inclusive team environment, with the opportunity to develop your leadership and contribute to work that supports a resilient and secure energy system.

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 policies that underpin financial resilience across the energy sector.
