Research Advisor

Requirements of the role

At Ofgem, understanding how consumers experience the energy system is critical to shaping decisions that are fair, effective and grounded in real life, and we’re seeking a Research Advisor to ensure those insights are at the heart of our work.

We’re offering a permanent opportunity within our Consumer Insight & Behavioural Science function, part of the Analysis profession, where you’ll contribute to work that informs policy across the organisation.

Working across research, analysis and policy, you’ll ensure that consumer voices are reflected in decision-making. From large-scale tracking surveys to in-depth qualitative and deliberative research, you’ll play a key role in building a richer understanding of how people experience the energy system and how that should shape future policy.

You’ll have the chance to work across multiple projects, engaging with a wide variety of stakeholders and helping translate complex policy questions into clear research approaches that deliver insight that informs high-profile decisions.

With strong experience in both quantitative and qualitative research, you’ll bring experience of designing and delivering end-to-end research projects and working with methods such as surveys, in-depth interviews and deliberative approaches. Comfortable working with data and evidence, you’ll be able to interpret complex information, draw clear conclusions and communicate your findings in a way that resonates with non-specialist audiences. Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities will also be key.

In return, you’ll join a collaborative and supportive team working on issues that have a direct impact on consumers across Great Britain. You’ll have the opportunity to develop your expertise, work across a wide range of policy areas and contribute to shaping how consumer evidence informs the future of the 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 ensure consumer insight remains at the centre of decision-making.
