Governance Analyst - Retail Energy Code
Gemserv is constantly looking ahead to ensure we continue to deliver exceptional service in a rapidly changing world. Our business is evolving, but we remain clear about where we want to be and how we want to get there. We are looking for an ambitious and enthusiastic Governance Analyst to join our REC team.
The Retail Energy Code (REC) has set a new standard for industry code governance in the GB energy market, differing significantly from existing models under other industry codes. It marks the transition from the traditional ‘Code Administrator’ model to an empowered ‘Code Manager’ function, delivering an accessible set of arrangements in plain English and digital format with robust technical and performance assurance frameworks, and a clear focus on consumer outcomes.
One of the key step-changes is the operation of the change process. Rather than responding reactively to industry driven change, and utilising industry working groups to develop solutions to identified issues, the REC Change Management Team is responsible for the detailed analysis, solution design and requirement specification for all Change Proposals. The responsibility for the development of solutions sits with the Code Manager, and not through the use of industry working groups.
The Role
The Change Management Team is empowered and responsible for delivering a strategic programme of change to the industry, proactively raising Change Proposals to address known issues and opportunities and prioritising the change agenda to deliver an innovative, transparent and effective change process that focuses on consumer outcomes.
The Governance Analyst will provide governance and delivery support for the end-to-end change process through to implementation. Creating and providing accurate and timely information across the portfolio of changes, to enable effective control and decision making. Taking on responsibility for the development and progression of low complexity changes and working as part of a project team for high complexity changes.
