Veolia UK is looking for a visionary Head of Flexibility to own, grow, and transform our flexibility portfolio – and help power Britain’s transition to a cleaner, smarter energy future. This is a chance to define the strategy for a rapidly growing, high‑impact team at the cutting edge of energy flexibility, battery storage, grid balancing, and demand‑side response. You will be the commercial owner and operational leader of a portfolio already generating 6 M+ in revenue, with a gross margin target exceeding 5.5 M, and the mandate to grow it further.

• Lead with strategy. Define and implement Veolia’s UK flexibility services strategy – evaluating new markets, building board‑ready business cases, and advising on where to invest (and where not to).
• Own the commercial agenda. Grow Veolia’s Capacity Market activities and develop an external‑facing Flexibility Services offering targeting 1 M+ in new revenue.
• Build a winning team. Coach, develop, and hire talented people; create a high‑performance culture built on ownership, accountability, and shared purpose.
• Champion decarbonisation. Integrate flexibility into Veolia’s ecological transformation agenda – enabling local energy loops, circular economy models, and a low‑carbon future.
• Be the face of flexibility. Represent Veolia at industry forums, engage with customers across municipal, commercial, treatment, and IWE sectors, and position Veolia as the UK’s trusted flexibility partner.

What we are looking for:

Essential:

• Deep expertise in energy flexibility, DSR, or related UK energy markets
• Technical firepower – strong modelling skills in Python, Excel, and SQL
• Commercial sharpness – a critical eye for market evaluation and business case development
• Leadership presence – a track record of setting direction and delivering results through others
• Communication excellence – able to translate complexity into clear, boardroom‑ready narratives
• Stakeholder gravitas – experience influencing senior leaders and managing relationships with NESO, DSOs, and regulatory bodies
• Financial acumen – comfortable owning P&L and driving financial performance

A degree in a numerical discipline (mathematics, engineering, or economics) is preferred, along with proven consultancy or commercial energy experience.

We are committed to ensuring that all applicants and colleagues receive fair treatment without discrimination on any grounds, aiming to create a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive.
