Ensuring the success of new and evolving digital services

Ofgem exists to ensure a safe, sustainable energy supply to the households and businesses of Great Britain. As the industry regulator, we promote the highest standards of customer care and work with industry partners to ensure that our energy system and supporting infrastructure is safe, resilient and sustainable. To be a smart regulator, fit for a future energy sector, Ofgem must also transform its own IT services, taking advantage of new technology to modernise working practise and find new solutions for the business.

You’ll be at the heart of innovation and change in our organisation as you plan for the delivery of new services to the live production environment and coordinate resources to ensure they succeed. Offering wide exposure across Digital Services, this is a critical, cross-functional role liaising closely with project teams as well as the service desk and other IT support functions. Working at pace, and across diverse technology and projects, you’ll quickly enhance your profile and expertise.

With a strong background in transition management, you’ll be looking for a step up to a larger and more challenging role. You’ll bring experience of collaborating with IT project managers to create and refine comprehensive service documentation. This will include good knowledge of ITIL in either service design or transition. Quick to assess situations and confident about making decisions, you’ll ensure we plan and prioritise effectively. An in-depth understanding of Service Management Framework principles and processes is important, and you should also be familiar with a recognised project management methodology such as Prince2.

Ofgem relies on having a workforce that reflects the society we serve, so we welcome candidates from all backgrounds, and especially those from underrepresented groups. While this is a full-time role, flexible working patterns and job shares are welcome. We will also support you with excellent training and development opportunities, plus a competitive benefits package.
