**Electricity Connections Strategy Lead - ESO**:

- Location: Warwick, GB, CV34 6DA- Division: Connections- Job Type:
- Requisition Number: 50232- Department:
- Job Function: Strategy**About the role**:
Great Britain's electricity system is undergoing an ambitious, exciting and vital transformation. Together with industry, we are creating a cleaner, greener system, one that protects the planet and serves generations to come.

We have created a new team that will carry out the tactical nearer-term changes to the connections process that are needed ahead of Connections Reform. A key focus will be on the transmission/distribution interface and enabling the DSO transition. We will work closely with the DNOs through the ENA, and internal stakeholders to highlight where our connection reform plans are at risk of non-delivery and help identify actions to resolve these risks. We will help deliver these actions. This includes supporting the implementation of our 5-point plan, the connection of storage, and to help identify and put plans in place to resolve any wider issues that will undoubtedly crop up. A critical part of our work will be to engage internally and externally to ensure alignment and support across industry, DNOs and the ESO with the actions we will look to implement. While we have come a long way towards developing a reformed connection process, there is still plenty more to do and this team is at the heart of delivering that ambition.

You will be based within the Customer Connections Team at ESO in Warwick that manages the connection of generation and demand to Great Britain’s high voltage electricity network. You’ll therefore be at the forefront of helping Great Britain transition rapidly towards a zero-carbon future that can deliver our climate change goals.

**About us**:
As Great Britain’s electricity system operator (ESO), we sit at the heart of the electricity system, using our outstanding engineering and commercial expertise to balance electricity supply and demand. Ultimately, we keep the electricity flowing directly to where it’s needed, second by second.

**Becoming the Future System Operator**
In 2021, government and Ofgem jointly consulted on proposals for an expert, impartial Future System Operator (FSO) with responsibilities across both the electricity and gas systems, to drive progress towards net zero while maintaining energy security and minimising costs for consumers. In October 2023, the Energy Act 2023 was passed, legislating for this Future System Operator to be created.

The ESO, including all of its existing roles, will be at the heart of the new Future System Operator. We will be taking on additional roles across vectors and sectors to create an organisation with a whole energy system mindset; enabling us to identify solutions to our energy system that are more sustainable, secure, and affordable for all.

The FSO will be set up as a public corporation with operational independence from government - bringing parties together to support optimised decision making and action. As now, it will be licenced and regulated by Ofgem through price control agreements. It is anticipated that the new organisation will be up and running in 2024.

The time to act on climate change is now. As part of our team, you won’t just be touching the lives of almost everyone in Great Britain - you’ll be shaping the way we use and consume energy for generations to come.

**About you**:
What we do isn’t just important - it’s essential. That’s why we look to recruit experts in their field. In this case, we’re looking for someone who has:

- Ability to analyse, and present complex issues and understand the impact on the connections process, the electricity system and the industry with a strong record of communicating these to internal senior management.
- Experience motivating, leading, and / or establishing commercial process improvements in a fast-paced, forward-thinking innovative environment whilst ensuring the best use of available talent and capacity.
- Experience in a commercial environment, preferable within regulated business, which include management of commercial contracts, change management, dispute resolution.

**What you'll get**:
A competitive salary between £55000-£71000 p.a. dependent on capability.
As well as your base salary, you will receive a bonus based on personal and company performance and a competitive contributory pension scheme where we will double match your contribution to a maximum company contribution of 12%. You will also have access to a number of flexible benefits such as a share incentive plan, salary sacrifice car and technology schemes, support via employee assistance lines and matched charity giving to name a few.

**Key Accountabilities**:
As an Electricity Strategy Lead you will:

- Identify and develop the tactical nearer-term changes needed to the connection process ahead of Connections Reform.
- Work closely with internal and external stakeh
