Job summary

Energy is making headlines like never before, and, at Ofgem, we're right at the centre of the story. We're looking for a Media Manager to join our busy press office, working on major stories that regularly lead the national news agenda.

Ofgem is Great Britain's independent energy regulator. We're at the forefront of change across the energy sector, driving toward Net Zero whilst protecting energy consumers, especially vulnerable people.

This is a permanent opportunity to build your media career in an environment where no two days are the same. Energy has never been more prominent in the news, giving you the chance to work on high-profile stories and issues that matter to households, businesses and communities across the country.

You'll join a friendly, practical team who'll support you as you take the next step in your career. Growing your media skills and networks, you'll have the chance to work closely with experienced communications professionals and gain fantastic exposure to journalists, senior colleagues and some of the biggest stories on the news agenda.

What's more, you'll turn complex energy issues into clear, engaging communications, and will be involved in everything from responding to fast-moving media enquiries to preparing spokespeople and advising colleagues on high-profile issues. This is a great opening to further develop your press office experience whilst having the freedom to take a different approach to a story when it needs it.

We're looking for someone with press office experience, excellent written and verbal communication skills and fantastic attention to detail. You'll be confident communicating with journalists and senior colleagues, able to turn complex information into engaging content and comfortable prioritising a varied workload when deadlines are tight. The willingness to get stuck in and take part in our out-of-hours media rota, including evenings and weekends, will also be key.

In return, you'll be given the support to grow your expertise and confidence, sharpen your media instincts and take on bigger challenges as your experience develops. Add in a fantastic benefits package and a team that genuinely wants to see you succeed, and you'll have everything you need to take your communications career forward.

We have a critical purpose to protect consumers and support the transition to Net Zero. Join us and help tell the stories behind some of the biggest issues shaping the future of energy.
