Who are RECCo?
We are an independent, non-profit organisation responsible for the Retail Energy Code — a key part of how the GB retail energy market is regulated.
But we don’t just manage rules. We look ahead, not just react, helping the market change in the right way. We deliver secure digital services, clear governance, and practical solutions that protect consumers, support innovation, and help the energy system move towards net zero.
What you’ll be doing
We are seeking a strategically minded and analytically strong individual to join our team as Regulatory Policy and Strategy Manager. This is a senior individual contributor role within a flat team structure, reflecting the significance and autonomy of the post.
The successful candidate will be responsible for leading strategic initiatives that ensure the REC remains aligned with regulatory expectations and market evolution. The role balances forward-looking strategic development, compliance oversight, and regulatory policy analysis, with a particular focus on the governance of suppliers and other parties who interact directly with consumers.
You will work across RECCo to ensure the REC and its associated systems and services respond effectively to Ofgem’s Strategic Direction Statement and wider government reforms. This includes working proactively on change proposals, helping shape the strategic work plan, maintaining licence and code compliance, and engaging with policy consultations on behalf of the organisation.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the development and updating of RECCo’s strategic roadmap and contribute to the Forward Work Plan.
- Analyse policy and regulatory developments (including Ofgem consultations, licence changes and government energy reform proposals) and assess their impacts on the REC and retail market participants.
- Ensure ongoing compliance with code and future licence conditions, including impartiality, transparency, and not-for-profit governance.
- Collaborate with colleagues to ensure strategic initiatives are developed with customer and regulatory needs at their core.
- Draft responses to regulatory and government consultations to influence outcomes in line with RECCo’s mission.
- Act as Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) for assigned strategic projects, with responsibility for delivery and associated budget oversight as required.
- Present findings, recommendations, and policy positions to internal and external stakeholders including the Board, regulators and other stakeholders.
About You
- Strategic Insight: Able to connect high-level policy direction to practical code governance and delivery challenges.
- Compliance Understanding: Experience in compliance or regulatory governance within a regulated industry.
- Analytical Acumen: Strong ability to distil complex policy documents and consultation proposals into actionable strategies.
- Policy Literacy: Familiarity with energy licence conditions, code governance, or retail market operations preferred.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Effective communicator with a track record of influencing regulatory or industry stakeholders.
- Consumer-Focused: Committed to delivering regulatory outcomes that support end consumers, not just market participants.
Our Commitment
At RECCo we are committed to cultivating an environment that promotes equality, diversity and inclusion. We want you to bring your authentic self to work every day and feel comfortable being you, no matter your age, gender identity, ethnicity, religion, disability status or otherwise.
