Across government, the increasing use of data and artificial intelligence is transforming how organisations operate, make decisions and deliver services. As digital and data portfolios expand, the need for strong operational support, governance and coordination becomes critical to ensuring that programmes run effectively, comply with standards and deliver value. Ofgem plays a vital role in the UKs energy system, protecting consumers and enabling a more secure, fair and sustainable energy future, and effective operational leadership is essential to supporting this transformation.
Ofgem is on an ambitious transformation journey. Within the Digital, Data and Security Services (DDSS) directorate, we are building a modern data and AI capability, supported by a growing portfolio of digital, data and AI initiatives. Alongside this, the Chief Digital, Data and AI function (CDAIO) requires strong operational coordination to ensure that priorities are planned, governed and delivered effectively.
As a Data and AI Operations Lead, you will play a key role in supporting the effective operation of the CDAIO function. You will provide oversight across financial management, governance, planning and coordination, ensuring that leadership teams have the information, structure and support needed to manage complex initiatives. You will act as a central point of coordination, helping to align activity across teams, support decision-making and ensure compliance with government standards.
This is a broad and high-impact role requiring strong organisational, analytical and stakeholder engagement skills. You will operate across a complex environment, balancing operational detail with strategic awareness, and ensuring that systems and processes enable effective delivery.
