We’re more than just an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers, a team of 21,000 colleagues energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels, while living our commitment to positive change in communities. Here, you can find more purpose, passion, and 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.

We’re seeking a passionate and strategic Social Impact Strategy Manager to join our team. In this newly created role, you’ll support the Sustainability Transformation Director in shaping and delivering Centrica’s social impact strategy. You’ll lead on identifying social risks, opportunities, and impacts (IROs), ensuring our approach meets stakeholder expectations and aligns with regulatory requirements like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

Location: We work flexibly according to our Flexible First arrangements, believing that empowered colleagues are happier and more productive. The successful candidate will need to be comfortable commuting regularly to our Windsor office and other locations as needed.

What will you do?

  • Lead the development of Centrica’s social impact strategy and contribute to our double materiality assessments.
  • Support delivery of ESG compliance programmes (e.g., CSRD, CSDDD).
  • Collaborate with internal teams (e.g., People, Procurement) and external partners to identify and manage social impacts, risks, and opportunities.
  • Develop strategic action plans, metrics, and targets to improve social performance.
  • Provide expertise to shape group-wide social policies and governance.
  • Work with Issue Owners to review governance controls for social issues and facilitate external assurance.
  • Contribute to ESG reporting, ensuring alignment with investor and regulatory expectations.
  • Support social impact projects benefiting customers and communities.

Who are we looking for?

  • Significant experience in Social Impact, ESG, or Sustainability roles with a successful track record.
  • Ability to lead programmes, manage stakeholders, and drive change.
  • Experience in stakeholder engagement, research, and insights tracking.
  • Skills in research, data analysis, and ESG reporting.
  • Excellent communication and project management skills.
  • A relevant degree (e.g., Sustainability, ESG, Social Sciences) is desirable.
