Join us, be part of more. 

Were so much more than an energy company. Were a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that's energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesnt rely on fossil fuels, whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential. Thats why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently - we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.

We have a fantastic new opportunity for a Senior Strategy Manager to join our Centrica Home Strategy team. This team is responsible for setting the strategic vision, ambition and direction for the business and linking it with the wider Centrica corporate strategy. The team is also responsible for translating the strategic and financial priorities into business plans, performance measures and investment allocation that will be used to track delivery and measure success.

In this role, you will lead the strategy definition of Centrica Home by driving high-impact initiatives that shape our future in the evolving energy, services and HEM landscape. You'll be responsible for identifying, developing, and executing strategic opportunities that deliver sustainable growth whilst ensuring we remain at the forefront of serving our customers' changing needs.

What you'll do

• Translate the Centrica Home long-term strategy to strategic initiatives, able to deliver the transformational growth ambition

• Establish robust measurement frameworks to track the success of strategic initiatives and their contribution to business performance.
• Build and lead a high-performing strategy team, providing mentorship and development opportunities for analysts and graduates.

Experience

• Management consulting in a top-tier firm or in a similar corporate strategy role (3-5 years minimum required)
