About the Role

This role sits at the intersection of trading, markets, and regulation, translating regulatory complexity into clear, actionable guidance across Octopus businesses engaging in UK and European energy markets. You will bring deep expertise in energy trading regulation and support the business wherever wholesale market regulatory obligations apply.

Responsibilities

• Own regulatory interpretation and compliance across electricity, natural gas, and environmental products.
• Translate regulatory frameworks into practical guidance on physical and financial hedging strategies and complex products.
• Embed REMIT, EMIR, and MiFID II into trading strategy and processes from inception.
• Evaluate and advise on regulatory treatment of emerging strategies, including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), demand-side flexibility portfolios, and renewable generation optimisation.
• Track and interpret regulatory developments across power markets, gas markets, carbon/environmental regimes, and flexibility participation rules.
• Develop practical, accessible training to keep teams current on evolving regulatory obligations and market impacts.
• Build and maintain relationships with regulators, industry bodies, and peers.
• Lead cross-functional planning and implementation of upcoming market related regulatory reforms and rule changes.

Requirements

• Strong background in energy wholesale market regulations (UK and/or Continental Europe).
• Deep understanding of power and gas market design, trading structures, and regulatory frameworks.
• Hands-on experience with REMIT, EMIR, and MiFID II compliance and application.
• Exposure to environmental markets, certificates, or carbon trading.
• Experience supporting trading operations or market-facing commercial teams.
• Familiarity with BESS, demand flexibility, or optimisation strategies is valuable.
• Experience translating complex market regulations to non-specialist audiences.
• Commercially aware and understand how to support complex hedging structures while ensuring regulatory obligations are met.
• Provide specialist regulatory guidance to the Energy Markets team while supporting broader business functions on regulatory compliance.
• Default to 'how do we do this?' rather than defaulting to 'we can't'.
• Work comfortably in real time with the Energy Markets team and cross-business stakeholders — handling ambiguity and competing regulatory priorities.
• Simplify complexity without losing accuracy or regulatory substance.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to synthesize complex topics for non-specialists.
• Strong presentation skills and comfortable in a data-rich, tech-enabled environment.
• A genuine fit with our culture and commitment to our mission.
