Manager - Power and Utilities - Energy Regulation and Policy in London

KPMG is one of the world's largest and most respected consultancies. We have supported the UK through times of war and peace, prosperity and recession, political and regulatory upheaval. The Infrastructure Advisory Group function is a cornerstone of our Deal Advisory business. Operating from London, we do work that matters, serving the Country with diligence and expertise.

Within The Infrastructure Advisory Group function, we are a team full of subject matter experts, responsible for providing best in class support on everything from developing acquisition strategy and raising funds, through to making the deal and integrating the acquisition.

Power & Utilities (P&U) is the largest business area of the IAG and encompasses work for major clients in the sector, including all UK utilities as well as some of the largest energy and water companies in Europe and beyond. We provide in-depth strategic and technical advice on:

• Strategy and business planning and analysis
• Corporate finance and corporate financial management
• Regulatory policy
• Cost assessment and benchmarking

What will you be doing? You will have specific responsibilities for contributing towards the team's energy networks business. Working closely with sector and subject matter experts, you will have an in-depth understanding of Ofgem's RIIO price controls and its wider regulatory framework. You will build relationships with key clients across the sector, as well as with other advisors. The projects that you will advise on will be high profile and varied, expected to include advising on:

• Regulatory strategy
• Core elements of regulated price controls
• Regulatory policy developments
• Support and provision of energy regulation expertise in terms of major transactions

There is no 'typical project'. You will need to apply a structured strategic approach to problem solving, drawing on established economic principles, while having the capacity to think creatively. The work will include a combination of report drafting, economic (including quantitative) analysis, and engaging with clients. As a manager, you will be expected to manage projects from conception to completion.

What will you need to do it? We are looking for someone who is passionate to learn and develop in the sector, while taking personal responsibility for the quality of deliverables produced. You will have knowledge of the regulatory frameworks for utility companies, micro-economics, or regulatory finance (ideally all three). You will be a strategic thinker who is able to bring new insights to bear in helping clients think about new problems which the evolving industry context throws up. You will have a developed analytical skillset which you are keen to deploy and grow to bring innovative solutions to problems. Be a highly motivated, ambitious self-starter, willing to take advantage of the opportunities this position offers.
