Why this role matters:
At OVO, our mission is simple but huge: solve the climate crisis through Plan Zero.
As a Senior Compliance Analyst in our Policy & Regulation team, you'll be instrumental in steering our strategic compliance initiatives and maintaining regulatory excellence. By translating complex energy regulations into practical operational advice, you will help bake risk mitigation directly into our long-term business decisions as we drive toward net zero.
What you’ll be doing:
Reporting directly to the Senior Compliance Manager, you'll work independently to keep our regulatory compliance activities running seamlessly:
- Strategic Regulatory Advice: Dissect complex regulations and translate them into clear guidance for commercial and operational leaders.
- Evidence-Backed Risk Assessments: Conduct deep-dive research across OVO and the external landscape to deliver well-evidenced risk assessments.
- Clear & Influential Communication: Draft polished briefings, advice, and reports ready for senior leadership and regulatory audiences like Ofgem with minimal rework.
- Regulatory Preparedness: Lead the groundwork and evidence-gathering for regulatory submissions and major compliance projects.
- Compliance Culture Advocacy: Champion regulatory integrity and the Standards of Conduct across OVO, helping teams flag risks early.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Nice to have (but not essential):
