Job description

Join us, be part of more.

We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We’re energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that’s energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently - we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.

About your team:

At British Gas, our mission is to sell it and mend it.

We’ve been powering the UK’s homes and businesses for over 200 years – but supplying energy is just part of what we do. We’re making the UK greener and more energy efficient, getting closer to Net Zero. By using clever tech like thermostats, heat pumps, solar panels and EV chargers, we’re making it cheaper and easier for our customers to reduce their carbon-footprint.

You’ll be responsible for delivering cross-functional brand initiatives that shape the B2B customer journey. Centrica’s purpose is to energise a greener, fairer future - and this role will help bring that purpose to life by translating brand direction into clear plans, aligned workstreams and consistent customer experiences across our B2B brands: British Gas Business, Centrica Business Solutions, Bord Gais and PH Jones.

You’ll work across marketing, digital, product, sales, operational communications and external partners to bring structure to complex activity, manage dependencies and ensure agreed brand initiatives are implemented accurately, consistently and on time.

• Identify delivery risks, gaps and conflicting requirements early; facilitate decisions, agree mitigations and elevate issues where needed.
• Provide clear progress reporting for stakeholders, including milestones, decisions, risks, dependencies and next steps.

• Stakeholder coordination and influence: Builds effective relationships across functions and levels of seniority. Creates clarity on roles, decisions and expectations, and can constructively challenge to maintain momentum and alignment.
• Attention to detail and quality control: Exceptionally thorough, with the ability to manage a high volume of interconnected deliverables without losing sight of accuracy, consistency or the wider customer experience.
• Risk, dependency and decision management: Anticipates issues, understands how changes in one area affect others, and creates practical routes to resolution. Comfortable escalating decisions with clear evidence and recommendations.
• Brand implementation: Understands how brand positioning, visual identity and messaging need to translate across customer journeys, channels and operational touchpoints. Able to assess whether execution is consistent with agreed direction.
• Clear communication: Produces concise plans, briefs, updates and recommendations that make complex activity easy to understand.
• Strong facilitation and presentation skills: Able to create alignment without relying on specialist marketing language.
