At Smart Energy GB, we aim to engage and communicate with our diverse nation about the smart meter rollout across England, Scotland, and Wales. We are an independent organisation set up by the government to deliver the national public engagement campaign, raise awareness of smart meters and drive adoption of this technology in everyone's homes. Smart meters are essential building blocks in the creation of a cleaner, greener energy system for the future.

We are looking a Policy Manager with experience in monitoring and analysing complex policy environments at pace, interpreting relevant impacts on an organisation, and subsequently advising on the organisation’s approach to join our team in our London office!

Sitting within the Corporate Affairs Directorate, you will be instrumental in delivering Smart Energy GB’s policy programme in support of Smart Energy GB’s strategic aims. Within Smart Energy GB, there are two primary elements to the policy function:

The first is to work with internal and external stakeholders to identify potential barriers to the installation of smart meters and any missed opportunities for their promotion. We want this role to support and socialise well designed and evidenced proposals for reform as well as creative ideas to further their promotion, from a policy perspective.

The second element is to understand the complex and ever-changing energy sector and the role of smart meters within that. These policy areas are expected to include (but not necessarily be limited to) those relating to the smart meter rollout, the flexibility of the electricity system, and the changing nature of consumer participation in energy and wider energy consumer policy, which, if shaped correctly, could further extend the benefits that can be gained from smart meters.
