Requirements of the role

We’re offering a permanent opportunity within our Digital Delivery portfolio, where you’ll be the vital piece of the digital puzzle that brings together our development teams and our digital stack. You’ll be leading a team of exceptional Technical Leads who oversee around 45 development staff, and ensuring the digital culture is focused on innovation, collaboration and high-quality delivery.

This is a chance to influence our digital teams from the inside, improving engineering standards and delivery approaches, supporting the use of new tech, tools and AI, and creating an environment where everyone feels empowered to deliver their best work.

The key focus of the role is people, not technical prowess, so you’ll be building trust and psychological safety, having honest, constructive conversations that improve performance and drive standards, and solving problems and making decisions in ambiguous situations.

You’ll bring significant leadership experience leading software development teams through other technical leaders, with a strong track record of coaching, performance management and building high-performing, supportive cultures. Alongside experience of driving technology adoption and change and delivering engineering standards, you’ll have credibility, judgement and exceptional communication skills with the ability to engage confidently at all levels and with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

In return, you’ll have the opportunity to shape a supportive and high-performing development environment within a major national organisation undergoing significant digital evolution. You’ll play a central role in building capability across the practice, supporting technical leaders and helping create a culture where people feel trusted, empowered and able to deliver their best work.

We have a critical purpose to drive the digital performance of the energy sector. Join us and help build the leadership, culture and development capability that will enable Ofgem to deliver on that mission.
