Ofgem is working at the forefront of the transition to a greener, fairer energy system, supporting the development of new regulatory frameworks that protect consumers and enable innovation across rapidly evolving markets. We’re looking for a Senior Technical Business Analyst to join our Heat Networks team and play a key role in designing and delivering the digital services that will underpin future regulation.

We’re offering a two-year fixed-term opportunity to work on a high-profile and business-critical programme that will shape how heat networks are regulated for the first time. This role sits at the heart of a major transformation, supporting the design and delivery of new digital capabilities that enable Ofgem to monitor, regulate and interact with the market effectively.

This is an exciting role for someone who enjoys tackling complex problems, working across technical and non-technical teams, and translating business needs into effective digital solutions.

Working within a specialist and fast-paced area of Ofgem, you’ll support the development of a new digital platform that will enable activities such as authorisation, licensing, market monitoring and payments. You’ll contribute to shaping how services are designed, built and improved, ensuring they are efficient, scalable and aligned with user needs.

The role offers significant scope to influence the end-to-end delivery of digital services, from discovery through to live operations. You’ll lead on business analysis activities including requirements gathering, stakeholder engagement, process modelling and continuous improvement, while also supporting ongoing service optimisation using live operational data and user feedback.

We have a critical purpose to deliver a robust and effective regulatory framework for heat networks, ensuring the market works fairly for consumers while supporting the transition to a low-carbon future. Join us in helping build the systems, services and capabilities that will enable Ofgem to regulate this evolving sector with confidence and impact.
