• Assess the impacts of industry modification proposals, regulatory changes and licence developments on operational processes and systems.
• Collaborate with operational, commercial and market teams to identify and respond to emerging system constraints and capacity risks.
• Support the design and implementation of innovative capacity release and constraint management solutions.
• Influence stakeholders across National Gas, Ofgem and the wider industry to support strategic outcomes and continuous improvement initiatives.

Essential

What you’ll bring

• Experience assessing complex business, operational or commercial risks and developing recommendations to mitigate them.
• Experience using data and insight to identify trends, evaluate options and support strategic decision-making.
• Experience developing and implementing process improvements, new approaches or business change initiatives.
• Experience presenting complex information and recommendations to senior stakeholders, influencing decisions and securing buy-in.
• Experience working across multiple teams and stakeholders to deliver outcomes in a complex operational or commercial environment.
• Experience balancing short-term priorities with longer-term strategic objectives and business performance goals.
• Ability to understand complex regulatory, commercial or operational frameworks and apply them to business decisions.
• Degree qualified in a numerate discipline, or equivalent professional experience.

Desirable

• Knowledge of gas industry regulations, licence obligations or industry codes such as the Uniform Network Code (UNC).
• Experience working with Gemini or similar commercial and operational systems.
• Understanding of energy markets, network operations or regulated utility environments.

What We Offer

• Market-leading double-match pension (up to 12% company contribution)
