We’re offering a permanent opportunity with the chance to influence some of the most significant financial resilience challenges facing the energy sector today.

You’ll contribute to work that supports a resilient, investable and competitive market capable of delivering long-term benefits for consumers.

This role offers exposure to complex and high-profile issues across the energy landscape, with the opportunity to engage directly with senior industry stakeholders and influence critical decisions. Working within a collaborative and forward-looking environment, you’ll help drive proactive approaches to resilience, risk management and regulatory oversight during a period of significant sector transformation.

You’ll be part of a dynamic and supportive directorate that values strategic thinking, sound judgement and constructive challenge. The role combines leadership, analysis and stakeholder engagement, giving you the opportunity to lead our delivery of both firm-level supervision and wider market resilience priorities.

We’re looking for someone with a strong background in finance, insolvency, risk management, corporate finance or financial supervision, alongside the ability to analyse complex issues, operate with autonomy and influence senior stakeholders effectively. You’ll bring excellent judgement, strategic thinking and the confidence to navigate ambiguity within a fast-paced regulatory environment.

In return, you’ll join an inclusive and purpose-driven organisation that offers hybrid working and the opportunity to work alongside highly experienced colleagues across regulation, policy and analysis.

We have a critical purpose to strengthen financial resilience across the retail energy market. Join us to help combat instability, reduce the risks and costs of supplier failure, and support a more secure, sustainable and consumer-focused energy system.
