We do energy differently - we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it and mend it.

About your team: At Centrica Energy, our mission is to move it. We're energy movers by nature. We're a global renewable energy trading company which helps move energy from source to use - powering businesses, homes, and societies as they transition to a new sustainable energy future. If the idea of working to create a sustainable energy future also moves you, we may very well be the right place for you.

Centrica Technology is a core driver of how we deliver our strategy. You'll join a team modernising our platforms, strengthening cyber and operational resilience, and advancing a product-led way of working that brings engineers, data specialists and business experts together to deliver meaningful outcomes at pace. We're scaling automation and AI from proof-of-concept into real, end-to-end change - improving customer journeys, reducing cost-to-serve, accelerating delivery, and building the digital foundations that underpin everything from energy trading and risk to field operations and critical infrastructure.

If you want to work on complex, high-impact problems using modern engineering practices, and help build reusable platforms that will shape how Centrica operates over the next decade, this is the place to do it.

An opportunity to play your part - At Centrica Energy, we use data to drive better decisions and shape a more sustainable future. As a Reporting Manager, you'll be at the centre of that story, delivering clear, insightful reporting that helps senior leaders understand what's happening and what's next. You'll work closely with teams across the business, turning complex data into meaningful insights, improving reporting processes, and ensuring information is accurate, timely and impactful. It's a great role for someone who enjoys collaboration, likes making things better, and wants their work to genuinely influence how the business moves forward.
