Stakeholder Relationship Executive

Job description

We are looking for someone who shares our passion for the energy sector and the UK’s transition to Net Zero. We see the decarbonisation of our economy as one of the issues of our time, and believe that working in partnership across the sector is key to its delivery. The person in this role is crucial to helping us make that happen – helping us deepen our understanding of our members and stakeholders across the sector, to strengthen our relationships, and to help find opportunities whereby working together we can achieve more. This role gives a great platform that would be suitable for someone in the early years of their career to be right at the heart of what’s happening in the sector early on.

This role will look across the full breadth of our membership, working to deliver impactful initiatives, through strong relationships both with our member companies and trusted partners. Our members include some of the biggest companies in energy, as well as fast-growing start-ups, offering opportunities to raise your profile across the sector.

The role holders will have strong relationship-building skills and enjoy finding ways to strengthen our partnerships with Members, sponsors and stakeholders across the breadth of the sector. They will have a thirst for knowledge and relish the challenge of engaging with a renewable energy provider one day and a tech disruptor the next. They will have an interest in commercial operations, shaping revenue opportunities and fostering new collaborative partnerships. This role will also have the unique opportunity to lead our work on the Young Energy Professionals Forum, an established network of inspiring professionals with less than a decade of experience in the energy sector.

• Building your understanding of the energy landscape and Energy UK’s role within it.
• Using data to track and improve member engagement and the attendance and quality of our events.
• Leading on specific events and projects for Energy UK and those related to our Young Energy Professionals Forum.

What we are looking for

• We are looking for someone who is personable, organised, goal-oriented and who will enjoy the challenge of being part of a high-performing team within Energy UK that is transforming our approach to stakeholder engagement.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build positive working relationships with a range of stakeholders.
• Good organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and work across a varied workload.
• A proactive mindset, with the confidence to take ownership of tasks and contribute ideas.
• Comfortable working with data and feedback to help improve engagement, attendance and overall delivery.
• An interest in developing commercial opportunities and supporting member engagement activity.
