About Electrify Britain
Electrify Britain is the national campaign for electrifying the UK's homes and businesses. We make the case that running our country on cheaper, home-grown electricity is the route to lower bills, a more secure country and a more productive economy. Electrify Britain is backed by EDF, Octopus Energy and E.ON, and works with a growing coalition of businesses through Electrify Business.
Our work runs from household bills and the Warm Homes Plan to industrial electricity costs, EVs and reindustrialisation, and the rules that decide how fast heat pumps, solar, batteries and chargers get installed. We publish our own State of Electrification tracker, commission independent economic analysis, deliver high impact stunts and creative comms, and brief ministers, special advisers, officials and MPs directly. We get out of the bubble and talk to people, industry and communities about their experience of electrification, making this massive opportunity tangible for the media and politicians.
The next twelve months are busy. The government is writing a ten-year plan, consulting on the ZEV mandate, scaling up Warm Homes Plan delivery and changing the way we pay energy bills. We are hiring a Policy and Advocacy Manager to help us turn evidence into arguments and campaigns that move those decisions.
About the role
The Policy and Advocacy Manager will do much of the core analytical work in Electrify Britain's policy team: researching, modelling and drafting the briefings, consultation responses and reports that carry our asks into government. You will own pieces of work end to end, from pulling the data to writing the note that lands on a minister's desk. You will collaborate with communications and campaign colleagues to fuel our campaigns with analysis that packs a punch. This is a role for someone who already knows how Whitehall works and wants to sharpen their skills on one of the biggest economic questions facing the country. Critically you will be tenacious, committed and unrelenting in your drive for a campaign win.
What you'll do
Who you are
We care more about what you can do than where you have done it. You might come from a think tank, a trade body, a consultancy, a regulator, a campaign, the civil service, Parliament or an energy company.
Why else you'll love it here
Wondering what the salary for this role is? Once you're in the interview process with one of our recruiters, it's something we always cover as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary. The reason why we don't advertise is because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn't apply to Octopus - what's more important to us is finding the right octofit!
If this sounds like you then we'd love to hear from you, tell us what you care about, why this opportunity feels right and most importantly, bring us the real you! Applying for jobs can be a bit scary so have a nose through some of our tips first 🚀
P.S. Our process usually takes up to 4 weeks, but we’ll always do our best to flex around what works for you. Along the way, you’ll chat with our recruitment team and your Recruiter will help you throughout different stages. Got any burning questions before then? Drop us a message at talent@octoenergy.com and we’d love to help!
Are you ready for a career with us? We want to ensure you have all the tools and environment you need to unleash your potential. Need any specific accommodations? Whether you require specific accommodations or have a unique preference, let us know, and we'll do what we can to customise your interview process for comfort and maximum magic!
Studies have shown that some groups of people, like women, are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet 100% of the job requirements. Whoever you are, if you like one of our jobs, we encourage you to apply as you might just be the candidate we hire. Across Octopus, we're looking for genuinely decent people who are honest and empathetic. Our people are our strongest asset and the unique skills and perspectives people bring to the team are the driving force of our success. As an equal opportunity employer, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected attribute. Our commitment is to provide equal opportunities, an inclusive work environment, and fairness for everyone.
