Come and join our expanding Sizewell C (SZC) team and work on one of the most exciting and largest megaprojects in the UK, whilst being at the forefront of the UK’s climate change agenda and energy policy. Following on from the success of Hinkley Point C (HPC), the SZC Project is a nuclear new build project in Suffolk, which has obtained planning approval and Government financing support. The project has started construction and is now seeking private investment. When completed, it will provide dependable electricity to 6 million homes for 60 years, which along with renewables, will support Britain to achieve Net Zero by 2050.
We have a fantastic opportunity for a Head of Corporate Strategy. The Corporate Operations Directorate drives transformation and change, develops and implements strategy and increases the overall clarity and organisational efficiency of Sizewell C to support the delivery of the project.
Our teams are set up to work flexibly, with a hybrid working approach between our offices and your home. We provide a full suite of IT equipment to ensure that our employees can work from home comfortably and effectively.
The Role
As the Head of Corporate Strategy, you will be responsible for developing and managing the company's strategic plan. The Corporate Strategy team is a newly formed function in the company and you’ll be pivotal in the development of SZC’s strategic planning capability, including people, processes and systems.
You will design, implement and manage the strategic planning process in the company in an annual cycle, drive SZC’s strategy, narrative, plans and be responsible for a range of strategic topics and projects.

* Build and maintain Sizewell C’s strategy and strategic planning capability, including people, processes and systems.
* Design, implement and manage the strategic planning process in the company in an annual cycle and prepare the strategic plan for Executive Committee and Board.

What We’re Looking For
* Strong academic credentials from a relevant field (undergraduate degree level required as a minimum).
* Strong strategy experience, either in consultancy or in-house; including deep understanding of business value drivers and strategy development and risk analysis approaches and techniques.
* Listed company experience or experience in companies with high standards of corporate governance (e.g. UK Corporate Governance Code).
* Experience in working collaboratively across an organisation, delivering outputs where there is no direct control of resources.
* Proven experience of recruiting, leading and motivating a small team of exceptional people to deliver outstanding results in an analytical field.
* Proven experience coaching others through complex tasks and developing skills and abilities. Able to develop organisational talent.

Sizewell C Limited (Sizewell C) is a nuclear site licensed company whose business is to design, finance, construct, commission, operate, maintain, and eventually decommission the nuclear power plant and related infrastructure at Sizewell C in Suffolk. Sizewell C was formerly under the majority ownership of the EDF Group but is currently majority owned by HM Government and operates as an independent company. EDF remains a key shareholder in Sizewell C and the business therefore maintains close links to EDF as a part of its ‘nuclear family’.
As a Sizewell C employee, you may wonder why you are contacted by colleagues with an EDF email, or see the EDF logo on portals that you access and/or documentation you receive; this is because we have partnered with EDF for the provision of a number of support services whilst we complete a successful transition out of the EDF group.

Additional Information
Join the team at Sizewell C. The power of good for Britain.
It’s not every day you get the opportunity to shape the working culture of what will be one of Europe’s largest construction projects, while also helping Britain to reach its target of Net Zero emissions by 2050. That’s one of the reasons Sizewell C will be unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before, and you’ll need to be an exceptional professional to reach the high standards this critical infrastructure project demands.
The UK is experiencing a nuclear renaissance and Sizewell C – along with its sister project at Hinkley Point C in Somerset – is powering the change. We’re ramping up at pace as we look ahead to the Financial Investment Decision in early 2025, and the start of construction soon after. With government fully on board and public opinion shifting significantly in favour of nuclear, there’s never been a better time to join our project.
By submitting an application to this role, you acknowledge that you have read and understood Sizewell C’s employee privacy policy and EDF's employee privacy policy. Just to let you know, EDF will be processing and sharing information about your application on behalf of Sizewell C.
