EnergyCo NSW is spearheading the transition to renewable energy to deliver clean electricity to the people of NSW as coal-fired power stations near closure.

About the Opportunity
EnergyCo’s Strategy & Policy division plays a pivotal role in shaping the organisation by developing strategies, delivering high-quality analysis that supports executive and board decision-making and building relationships with key stakeholders. The Strategy Manager will lead the Strategy team, working closely with the Director of Strategy and Relationships to engage leadership, set priorities, and deliver strategic initiatives.

In this role, you will manage EnergyCo’s corporate strategy function – developing strategies aligned with the organisational vision, presenting analysis and recommendations to inform leadership decision-making, and executing and coordinating initiatives that help achieve our goals.
You will help shape the company’s strategic priorities and direction, engage and influence internal and external stakeholders, and play a key role in positioning EnergyCo for future success. This is a unique chance to have an impact in a dynamic growth industry at the heart of the energy transition.

About You
You’re a proactive and collaborative problem-solver and project manager with strategy experience. You thrive working both autonomously and as part of a team, have sound qualitative and quantitative analytical skills and can tackle complex challenges with confidence. You excel at building strong working relationships, collaborating across divisions and organisations and influencing through clear communication of complex ideas.

Ideally, you have experience in strategy roles, such as consulting or in an in-house/corporate strategy function, and knowledge of the electricity or energy industry (but those are not essential). You’re skilled at managing projects and leading agile/cross-functional teams, with a demonstrated ability to structure and solve problems, analyse data and deliver results.
You have a reputation as a trusted partner to your branch, division and organisational leaders and are a valued leader within your division.
