We’re looking for someone who can set strategic vision, identify and articulate complex problems and can work with a range of experts (engineers, economists, policymakers) to develop solutions.
Market Design and Strategy:
• Understanding of GB electricity market design: this could be from a market participant’s perspective, for example via trading in GB power markets, or through experience in the regulatory or policy arena.
• Knowledge / understanding of key electricity policy instruments (e.g the capacity market) and understanding of economics of investment in GB electricity assets (generation, flexibility, DSR).
• The ability to think outside of the box and to conceptualise the impact of net zero on the GB electricity wholesale and ESO balancing service markets.
Analytical Thinking:
• An evidence-led approach to developing strategy. Proven ability to use quantitative and qualitative evidence to develop a thoughtful and independent viewpoint.
• Proficiency in the use of excel would be well regarded
Communication and Stakeholder Engagement:
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• Ability to analyse and present complex issues to audiences with varying levels of familiarity in power systems and power markets.
• Strong interpersonal skills in influencing and working effectively internally across an organisation, gaining buy in to priorities and driving delivery through others.
• Flexibility and agility to manage a wide range of issues at the same time and to prioritise use of resources
If you are excited about change and comfortable with shaping and delivering fast-paced projects and if you care about making our customers and stakeholders’ experience of working with the ESO continuously better, we would love to hear from you!
