We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that's energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently - we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.
At British Gas, our mission is to sell it and mend it. We’ve been powering the UK’s homes and businesses for over 200 years – but supplying energy is just part of what we do. We’re making the UK greener and more energy efficient, getting closer to Net Zero. By using clever tech like thermostats, heat pumps, solar panels and EV chargers, we’re making it cheaper and easier for our customers to reduce their carbon-footprint.
We have an exciting opportunity for a Strategic Initiatives Senior Manager to join our Centrica Home Strategy team. This team sets the strategic vision, ambition, and direction for Centrica Home, ensuring alignment with the wider Centrica corporate strategy. We translate strategic and financial priorities into actionable business plans, performance measures, and investment decisions that drive success.
In this role, you’ll lead the definition and delivery of strategic initiatives that shape our future in the evolving energy, services, and home energy management (HEM) landscape. You’ll identify, develop, and execute opportunities that deliver sustainable growth while keeping us at the forefront of meeting our customers’ changing needs.
What you’ll be doing:
- Translate Centrica Home’s long-term strategy into high-impact initiatives that deliver transformational growth.
- Identify disruptive trends early and develop strategies to seize opportunities and mitigate risks.
- Lead input into Quarterly Strategic Reviews (QSRs), including competitor analysis, scenario planning, and market insights.
- Present complex strategic concepts clearly and persuasively to influence senior decision-making.
- Collaborate with Centrica Group strategy leadership to ensure alignment across the business.
- Develop investment papers and support cross-functional business cases.
- Build deep expertise in retail energy markets, regulatory developments, and emerging technologies.
- Support evaluation of mergers, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships.
- Establish robust measurement frameworks to track success and optimise execution.
- Build and lead a high-performing strategy team, fostering a culture of collaboration, analytical rigour, and innovation.
What we’re looking for:
- Experience: Desirable experience in a similar corporate strategy role. Proven ability to manage executive stakeholders in complex organisations. Expertise in energy and services markets and regulatory environments.
- Skills & Competencies: Strong strategic toolkit: hypothesis-driven thinking, MECE frameworks, and narrative building. Excellent financial modelling and business case development skills. Ability to synthesise market trends, customer insights, and competitor analysis into actionable strategies. Exceptional communication and collaboration skills. Comfortable working with ambiguity and adapting quickly to overcome challenges.
- Mindset: Customer-focused, future-oriented, and passionate about driving transformation. Inclusive leadership style that empowers and develops others.

We’re not a perfect place – but we’re a people place. Our priority is supporting all of the different realities our people face. Life is about so much more than work. We get it. That’s why we’ve designed our total rewards to give you the flexibility to choose what you need, when you need it, making sure that you and your family are supported not only financially, but physically and emotionally too.
If you're full of energy, fired up about sustainability, and ready to craft not only a better tomorrow, but a better you, then come and find your purpose in a team where your voice matters, your growth is non-negotiable, and your ambitions are our priority.
