About the job

Job summary

Ofgem works on behalf of energy consumers to ensure every household and business in Great Britain can rely on a safe, affordable and environmentally sustainable energy supply. As our Behavioural Science function continues to grow, we are recruiting a Senior Behavioural Scientist/Behavioural Economist.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced behavioural scientist, behavioural economist or academic looking to apply and develop their expertise in a high-profile and impactful policy environment. Established in 2016, Ofgem's Behavioural Science function has built a strong reputation across Government and the regulatory sector for embedding behavioural science into policy and decision-making.

The team supports the design and delivery of Ofgem's work by applying behavioural insights and testing new interventions using robust experimental methods, including online experiments and field trials. These projects generate behavioural evidence that helps shape market interventions and improve outcomes for consumers.

In this role, you will lead behavioural research projects and apply behavioural expertise to complex policy challenges. A key focus will be the design, delivery, analysis and communication of online experiments and, ideally, field trials, providing behaviourally informed, empirical evidence to support organisational decision-making.

We are looking for someone with practical experience delivering behavioural research end to end, alongside a strong understanding of behavioural science and economics literature. You will have excellent quantitative analysis skills, be an effective communicator, and work closely with policy colleagues to develop robust research that delivers meaningful impact.

You will join Ofgem's multidisciplinary Consumer Insights and Behavioural Science (CIBS) team, which brings together behavioural, qualitative and quantitative research expertise to better understand consumers and inform policy decisions.
It is a particularly exciting time to work in energy. Technological innovation, evolving business models and the transition to Net Zero are transforming the sector, creating significant behavioural challenges and opportunities. Whether helping to shape future retail markets or supporting consumer flexibility, your work will play an important role in ensuring behavioural evidence is embedded within policy and regulation.
