Why this role matters:

At OVO, our mission is simple but huge: solve the climate crisis through Plan Zero.

As a Compliance Analyst in our Policy & Regulation team, you’ll be a key member driving our strategic compliance initiatives and maintaining regulatory excellence. By analysing and distilling complex energy regulations into practical, informative advice, you'll ensure operational risks are well understood and mitigated as we shape policies that drive our net zero ambitions.

 

What you’ll be doing:

Reporting directly to the Compliance Manager, you'll work independently to keep our regulatory compliance activities running seamlessly:

• Risk-Aware Operations: Analyse and distill complex regulations to provide clear, accurate, and timely advice to operational and commercial teams, ensuring risks are understood and mitigated.
• Business Collaboration: Build strong internal relationships to seamlessly integrate compliance support into business-wide projects and planned changes.
• Knowledge Building: Design training materials, practical guides, and advice notes that shape and inform business policy and practice.
• Regulatory Implementation: Develop an in-depth understanding of new rules and regulations, supporting business areas through their implementation approaches.
• Compliance Culture Advocacy: Advocate for regulatory integrity, actively promoting good practices and the Standards of Conduct across OVO.

 

What you’ll bring to the table:

You don’t need to tick every single box to apply – if you have the core toolkit and a passion for problem-solving, we want to hear from you!

The Essentials:

• Regulatory Interpretation: Experience reading and interpreting regulations (ideally within the energy sector) and translating them into clear, actionable advice for operational teams.
• Analytical Precision & Detail: A keen eye for detail, pride in accuracy, and a natural curiosity to ask better questions and spot things that don't look right.
• Organisation & Adaptability: Ability to prioritise tasks effectively, manage your own workload, and adapt seamlessly to changing priorities.
• Communication & Collaboration: Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of explaining complex rules in plain language and building strong relationships.

Nice to have (but not essential):

• Prior experience using workflow tools like Jira.

 

Where & how you’ll work:

We believe in flexibility that works. You’ll be assigned to your closest hub office (Bristol, Glasgow, or London). We expect hub-based team members in the office at least once a week for collaborative days and in-person OVO Connection events, combined with flexible work-from-home options.

 

What’s in it for you?

We reward impact. On top of your core salary (£36,000–£45,000 depending on experience), you’ll get:

• 15% On-Target Bonus: Discretionary, tied to our collective Plan Zero mission performance.
• 9% Flex Pay: An extra 9% on top of your salary (4% auto-enrolled into pension, 5% yours to take as cash, put into pension, or spend on flex benefits).
• Time Off: 34 days of holiday (including bank holidays).
• Green & Home Perks: Up to £400 towards OVO Energy plans, plus discounts on solar, smart thermostats, and EV chargers.
• Health & Lifestyle: Healthcare cash plan / private medical options, gym discounts, cycle-to-work scheme, and ultra-low emission car leasing.
