Familiarity with key industry stakeholders (e.g. Ofgem, DESNZ, Energy UK, Citizens Advice). Exposure to compliance topics such as consumer protection, environmental obligations, or advertising standards. Confidence delivering presentations or leading discussions with senior stakeholders. A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for continuous learning and improvement.
