Job Details

SSE is one of the largest and most diverse energy companies in the UK and Ireland with around 9 million customers and over 20,000 staff. SSE's Corporate Affairs (Retail) team is responsible for all external relations that impact upon the retail business.

The policy area of the team engages with government and other key stakeholders to understand and influence retail energy policy and help to ensure the implications of policy changes are effectively communicated to and acted upon by the business. An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Policy Manager based in London.

Working with the Head of Corporate Affairs (Retail), you will develop and manage relationships with key policy influencers to support the process of policy development. You will establish and maintain strong relationships with internal colleagues and work across the SSE business to develop common policy positions.

Your responsibilities will extend to gathering and analysing up to date information on political, governmental and key influencer activities to provide policy and strategy support to different parts of the SSE business. Drafting policy responses to government consultations, you will ensure that SSE views are represented in policy development.

You will brief appropriate internal audiences on relevant policy developments to ensure the SSE business stays up to date. You will perform most duties independently and be responsible for developing project plans that may establish objectives and timetables for others outside the policy team.

To be successful in this role, you should have a proven track record of managing and influencing in a policy development environment, combined with a detailed understanding of the political, regulatory and business landscape in which SSE operates.

You should display excellent communication skills which will assist you in communicating complex policy ideas and concepts. A minimum 2:1 degree and a relevant MSc qualification or equivalent, along with three years' relevant work experience, would be desirable.

Successful candidates will be subject to the Company's verification and vetting process. This includes a basic criminal record check.
