Company Description

Statkraft is Europe's largest generator of renewable energy from hydro, wind and solar power. We have over 5,300 employees in 21 countries. We have been making clean energy possible for over 125 years, with unrivalled expertise in supplying the world with what it needs most. We envision a world that runs entirely on renewable energy.

Because in the fight against climate change, we do not see renewable energy as part of the solution - we believe it must be the solution.

With us, you will shape a career that is truly forward-facing with many amazing opportunities and offerings to match.

- Take an active role in our trade body memberships, enhance the benefits we get from such memberships and influence their positions
- Work with colleagues to develop points of view and positions on a wide range of technologies and regulatory matters
- Manage agency support in Scotland and Wales; ensuring we get value for money

**Qualifications**:

- Have worked in public affairs (experience considered will include in-house, agency, consultancy, charity, NGO, civil service, and/or parliamentary roles)
- Have a strong understanding of politics and policy making in Scotland and/or Wales
- Have examples of managing, in full or in part, successful public affairs campaigns
- Have experience of working on complex policy issues/in a highly regulated sector
