**Job description**:
We are hiring Grade 7 Senior Policy Advisors to join the DESNZ Review of Electricity Market Arrangements (REMA) team - a flagship reform programme, and top priority across Government including for No. 10 and HMT, where you will contribute to shaping Great Britain’s long-term electricity market arrangements.

Whilst we have made huge progress in decarbonising the electricity system, our electricity markets were not designed for the new challenges that Net Zero brings. The REMA team is central to delivering the changes needed. As the backbone of the future electricity system, it is critical that electricity markets are designed to rapidly deploy high volumes of renewables and other low carbon technologies, including electricity storage, hydrogen to power, and carbon capture, so that we can meet our climate change targets, maintain security of energy supply, and deliver value for money for consumers.

The REMA team is responsible for assessing, designing, and delivering a package of electricity market reforms that can drive the investment needed to achieve our decarbonisation targets. Our work going forward will focus on using evidence gathered through the 2022 and 2024 consultations, alongside external research, analysis, and through close working with internal and external stakeholders to determine which options can best meet the Government’s objectives for the future electricity system. We will also need to ensure the impacts and pathways to implementation for preferred policy options are properly understood, and that we communicate the programme's progress and objectives effectively for stakeholders.
- Investing to create a renewables-based system at pace
- Transitioning away from an unabated gas-based system to a flexible, resilient, and decarbonised system
- Operating and optimising a renewables-based system cost-effectively

We are recruiting to fill vacancies in the following areas:
**Future Electricity Security**

**Wholesale Electricity Markets**

**Future Renewables Investment**

We pride ourselves on having a friendly, inclusive, and supportive work environment. We support team members to develop themselves and their careers. We are committed to promoting equality and diversity and to offering flexible working opportunities. We are keen to hear from those who work part-time, job-share or have other flexible working arrangements.

**Person specification**:
As a successful applicant you will be at the forefront of a high-profile policy area. You will have the opportunity to contribute to developing, delivering, and communicating proposals for reforms that will be vital for the transition to Net Zero.

Not only will you have the chance to shape radical and long-lasting reforms to improve the energy markets, you will also have the opportunity to develop yourself and use your skills and talents to build a rewarding career.

The roles include:

- Leading the development of options for electric
