About Ofgem
Ofgem is the energy regulator for Great Britain. https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/about-us/working-ofgem
Requirements of the role
This role sits at the centre of Ofgem’s work to promote fair, transparent and well‑functioning wholesale gas and electricity markets for the benefit of GB consumers. Working within the Wholesale Market Conduct team, you will play a leading role in monitoring wholesale energy markets for potential breaches of REMIT and relevant generation licence conditions, including prohibitions on market manipulation and insider trading. The role requires sound, real‑world experience of wholesale energy markets rather than purely academic knowledge, with the ability to understand market fundamentals, trading behaviours and complex commercial strategies as they operate in practice. You will lead and contribute to compliance and enforcement activity, producing robust, timely analysis and clear reports that stand up to scrutiny, and engaging directly with wholesale market participants, exchanges and brokers on conduct issues. A core feature of the role is working with large, complex and often unique datasets covering trading activity and physical asset characteristics, using both qualitative judgement and quantitative analysis to identify risks, investigate issues and support evidence‑based recommendations. You will help strengthen the team’s proactive monitoring capability by improving analytical tools and processes, escalating emerging risks, and supporting effective risk management. Alongside investigative work, you will collaborate closely with policy, legal and international colleagues across Ofgem and work with key external stakeholders including the National Energy System Operator, the FCA, ACER and other European regulators. The role also offers opportunities to mentor colleagues, build team capability and contribute to wider projects across the Wholesale Markets Oversight and International portfolio. This is a demanding and influential position for someone who can work independently, think creatively and communicate complex wholesale market issues clearly to non‑expert audiences, while operating confidently in a data‑rich regulatory environment.
