As part of the Financial Resilience and Controls Directorate, you will support the regulatory framework that has strengthened the financial resilience of energy suppliers, helping to protect consumers while enabling a competitive, innovative and investable energy sector.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced PMO professional who thrives in a fast-paced, complex environment and enjoys building strong stakeholder relationships. You will have the chance to make a meaningful impact on consumer outcomes, influence strategic delivery across the Markets Group, and contribute to the evolution of one of the UK's most important regulatory functions.
