This is a permanent role, where you’ll provide robust economic, regulatory and market analysis to support the development of future energy strategies. You’ll work across the business and with external stakeholders to develop insights, scenarios and frameworks that support the evolution of gas networks, including hydrogen, biomethane and hybrid energy systems.

Policy & Regulatory Influence – Contribute to consultation responses and help shape future regulatory and market frameworks.

Scenario & Modelling Development – Build and apply economic models and scenarios to evaluate future energy options.

Thought Leadership – Support the development of high‑quality insight and publications that position Cadent as an industry leader.

Stakeholder Engagement – Work with government, regulators and industry groups to influence outcomes and build relationships.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration – Partner with strategy, regulation, finance and external affairs teams to deliver joined‑up outcomes.

What you’ll bring:

Energy or Regulatory Experience – Understanding of UK energy markets and regulated network environments.

Strong Analytical Capability – Experience developing and using economic or financial models to inform decisions.

Policy & Strategy Awareness – Understanding of regulatory frameworks and energy transition challenges.

Communication Skills – Ability to translate complex analysis into clear, impactful insight.

Stakeholder Confidence – Experience engaging with senior stakeholders, including government or industry bodies.

Innovative Thinking – Ability to develop creative solutions and forward‑thinking strategies.

Delivery Focus – Able to manage multiple priorities and deliver high‑quality outputs to tight timescales.
