Why this role matters:

At OVO, our mission is simple but huge: solve the climate crisis through Plan Zero.

As a Senior Compliance Analyst in our Policy & Regulation team, you'll be instrumental in steering our strategic compliance initiatives and maintaining regulatory excellence. By translating complex energy regulations into practical operational advice, you will help bake risk mitigation directly into our long-term business decisions as we drive toward net zero.

What you’ll be doing:

Reporting directly to the Senior Compliance Manager, you'll work independently to keep our regulatory compliance activities running seamlessly:

  • Strategic Regulatory Advice: Dissect complex regulations and translate them into clear guidance for commercial and operational leaders.
  • Evidence-Backed Risk Assessments: Conduct deep-dive research across OVO and the external landscape to deliver well-evidenced risk assessments.
  • Clear & Influential Communication: Draft polished briefings, advice, and reports ready for senior leadership and regulatory audiences like Ofgem with minimal rework.
  • Regulatory Preparedness: Lead the groundwork and evidence-gathering for regulatory submissions and major compliance projects.
  • Compliance Culture Advocacy: Champion regulatory integrity and the Standards of Conduct across OVO, helping teams flag risks early.

What you’ll bring to the table:

You don’t need to tick every single box to apply - if you have the core toolkit and a passion for problem-solving, we want to hear from you!

The Essentials:

  • Energy Regulation Expertise: Direct experience reading and translating complex energy regulations into clear guidance for non-specialist operational teams.
  • Regulatory Engagement: Confidence engaging with external stakeholders, including energy regulator Ofgem.
  • Analytical Precision & Curiosity: A keen eye for detail, pride in accuracy, and a natural curiosity to ask better questions and spot risks early.
  • Autonomy & Organisation: Ability to manage your own time, prioritise multiple workstreams, and meet deadlines without needing to be prompted.
  • Collaborative Communication: Strong written and verbal skills, with a track record of building trusted working relationships across a business.

Nice to have (but not essential):

  • Prior experience using workflow tools like Jira.

Where & how you’ll work:

We believe in flexibility that works. You’ll be assigned to your closest hub office (Bristol, Glasgow, or London). We expect hub-based team members in the office at least once a week for collaborative days and in-person OVO Connection events, combined with flexible work-from-home options.

What’s in it for you?

We reward impact. On top of your core salary (£45,000–£51,665 depending on experience), you’ll get:

  • 15% On-Target Bonus: Discretionary, tied to our collective Plan Zero mission performance.
  • 9% Flex Pay: An extra 9% on top of your salary (4% auto-enrolled into pension, 5% yours to take as cash, put into pension, or spend on flex benefits).
  • Time Off: 34 days of holiday (including bank holidays).
  • Green & Home Perks: Up to £400 towards OVO Energy plans, plus discounts on solar, smart thermostats, and EV chargers.
  • Health & Lifestyle: Healthcare cash plan / private medical options, gym discounts, cycle-to-work scheme, and ultra-low emission car leasing.

Everyone Belongs at OVO:
