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.

We’re looking for 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 in line with our Flexible First working arrangements believing that empowered colleagues are happier and more productive. The successful candidate will, however, need to be comfortable commuting to our Windsor office regularly and also to our other locations as may be needed.

What will you do?

• Lead the development of Centrica’s social impact strategy and subject matter expertise input into 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 drive social performance.
• Provide subject matter expertise to shape group-wide social policies and governance.
• Work closely with Issue Owners to review and enhance governance controls for material Social issues and facilitate third party external assurance.
• Contribute to ESG reporting and ensure alignment with investor and regulatory expectations.
• Support strategic social impact projects that benefit customers and communities.

Here’s who we are looking for:

• Strong demonstrable experience in Social Impact, ESG, or Sustainability roles with a proven track record of successful programme development and implementation.
• Proven ability to lead programmes, manage stakeholders, and drive business change.
• Experience of stakeholder engagement, research and insights tracking.
• Skilled in research, data analysis, and ESG reporting.
• Excellent communication and project management skills.
• A relevant degree (e.g. Sustainability, ESG, Social Sciences) is desirable.

Why should you apply?

We’re not a perfect place – but we’re a people place. Our priority is supporting all of the different realities our people face. Life is about so much more than work. We get it. That’s why we’ve designed our total rewards to give you the flexibility to choose what you need, when you need it, making sure that you and your family are supported not only financially, but physically and emotionally too.
