**Summary**:

- The Low Carbon Regulated Asset Base (RAB) team is a collection of high performing, collaborative, and flexible staff, working across a number of new and exciting policy areas. Our work is excitingly varied, from advising the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and Her Majesty's Treasury (HMT) on regulatory and strategic issues, developing new approaches to financing large scale energy investment, regulating new energy technologies and services, to developing policy crucial for meeting our decarbonisation goals.**Job description**:
Some of the team’s remit currently includes carbon capture use and storage (CCUS), new nuclear investment, and monitoring the implications of hydrogen as an emerging energy source.

As part of a cooperative and interdependent team of policy, finance, engineering, legal and regulatory experts, new joiners to the team will have the opportunity to take responsibility for managing aspects of the programme and to undertake detailed development of core components of the regulatory regime for Ofgem’s Low Carbon RAB work.

**Responsibilities**:

- Support the development of policy thinking and delivery for the specific policy aspects of the Low Carbon RAB programme. For these aspects, this will include responsibility for preparing senior management briefing materials, development of strong relationships with relevant parties, and supporting the team’s strategic planning.
- Develop a growing ability to take effective leadership for the delivery of assigned regulatory workstreams, working directly and cooperatively with the Head of CCUS Policy and/or Head of Nuclear Policy, BEIS, HMT, other workstream leads, and the programme management officer (PMO) to champion and deliver successful and coordinated regulatory decisions and advice. This will include working together with all other policy leads, and teams in Ofgem, to monitor the impact their workstreams can and will have on the overall programme and the organisation more broadly.
- Working in a dynamic, fast-paced, supportive, inclusive and high-performing team. This will include participating in open policy debates, enthusiastically embracing change and new workstreams, sharing views, and representing the team and Ofgem with other areas and agencies. Extensive external engagement will include building consensus where possible, and defending and explaining contentious policies when necessary.
- Providing recommendations to the team and Senior Management to support their understanding of key elements of the programme, strategy, policy, regulatory functions and potentially specific projects.
- Responding to changing priorities when necessary and helping manage organisational risk. As a flexible team, the postholder will be expected to support a range of projects across Strategy and Decarbonisation (and potentially other directorates). They may be deployed in other high priority areas, should the need arise.
