LCCC is looking for a Strategy Manager to become a core member of our Strategy team, and play an important role in helping the organisation develop and ultimately achieve its mission.
This role is for you if you…

LCCC is at a pivotal point in time; advising on, implementing and soon-to-be operating a growing number of these schemes. It is an exciting time for a proactive and driven Strategy Manager to support the effective growth and development of LCCC.
The team
LCCC’s Strategy and Shareholder team plays a central role in ensuring LCCC has a clear path to achieving its mission; including through delivering the strategy cycle and business planning.

We work in a collaborative, cross-departmental way at all levels. The team regularly engages with and shares findings and recommendations with the CEO, Executive Team, Board and DESNZ. This is an exciting area to have an impact given the scale of growth and change LCCC is experiencing as we take on new schemes, in new Net Zero areas.

- Communication and engagement –
- Building strong trusted relationships around the organisation and helping different new joiners and teams identify and articulate their contributions to LCCC’s overall strategy.
- Supporting Performance Reporting –
- Collaborating with the Performance team to facilitate strategy and business plan reviews, ensuring accurate reporting of progress against the business plan.
- Working with the Performance team to support the development of annual end-of-year corporate performance score and report.

LCCC’s main responsibility, amongst many, is managing the Contracts for Difference (CfDs) scheme which are agreements LCCC has made with renewable generators. These agreements are private law contracts to provide investors with confidence when investing in low carbon technology. CfDs are also designed to help and manage price increases for consumers, when electricity prices are high. See here for more information on how CfDs work: LCCC CfD Video on Vimeo.
LCCC’s other responsibilities include management of money flows across energy suppliers to fund the CfD portfolio, settlement of the capacity market and develop new schemes. Find out more about all that we do by visiting our main page.
