You will have experience working in a dynamic and complex environment where risks continuously evolve, with the ability to support an organisation in achieving its objectives while maintaining an appropriate balance between risk-taking and compliance.

You are an effective communicator who can build strong stakeholder relationships and explain risk concepts in clear, accessible language. Experience working with risk systems, or project risk management frameworks will be highly regarded. Most importantly, you bring a strong commitment to public sector values, including integrity, transparency, accountability and ethical decision-making, and are motivated to contribute to EnergyCo's mission by helping build a resilient and risk-aware organisation.
