Salary banding:  £55,000 - £60,000

Experience: Experienced

Working pattern: Full-Time

Role Type: 6 month Fixed-Term contract

Reporting to: Commercial Solar Lead

Sponsorship: Unfortunately we are unable to offer sponsorship for this role.

This role in 3 words: Strategic. Analytical. Commercial.

Top 3 qualities for this role: Collaborative. Data-driven. Proactive

Where you’ll work:

Depending on the needs of your business area, we expect hub based people to be in the office at least once a week, and to go to OVO Connection events in-person. 

You’ll be assigned to the closest one of our three hub offices, Bristol, Glasgow, or London; unless your role requires field-based work. Each hub has accessible spaces to park your laptop, is designed to inspire people, help them connect and bring big ideas to life.

Everyone belongs at OVO:

At OVO, we are on a mission to solve one of humanity's biggest challenges, the climate crisis. And we know it takes all of us to change the world. That's why we need diverse people from all abilities, gender identities, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, life experiences and backgrounds to join us.

Teamworking for the planet:

Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here’s how:

This role sits in a fast paced and autonomous corporate venture called OVO Solar & Heating, whose remit is to re-establish and grow OVO’s renewables business. The business was launched in March 2025 on a highly innovative Franchising business model, and within 4 months outpaced OVO’s best ever monthly solar sales. By the end of 2027, the unit is expected to be one of the largest solar & heat pump installation companies in the UK.

This role in a nutshell:

We're looking for an experienced, high-energy Commercial Manager to accelerate the success of our national solar and heating franchise network. Your goal is to help our franchisees identify, pitch, and win B2B solar and heating projects.

You'll define and deliver BD strategies and work closely with our franchisees — building their local pipelines, crafting BD strategies, and supporting bids and pitches, whilst building up their capabilities. Ultimately, your success will be measured in the volume and value of sales you have co-authored. 

Your key outcomes will be:

 Commercial BD Strategy and Delivery

• Localised Growth Plans: Partner with each franchisee to build a commercial BD plan tailored to their specific territory, local economy, and experience.
• Campaign Development: Design and launch targeted BD campaigns (e.g., targeting local industrial parks, agricultural hubs, or property developers).
• Private Sector Bid Support: Support franchisees in identifying and winning private commercial contracts, including creating high-impact pitch decks and joining key sales meetings.
• Public Sector Bid Support: identify strategic opportunities and support franchisees to collaboratively build high-quality technical and commercial bids.

Commercial Partnerships

• New Partners: Collaborate closely with OVO’s Partnerships Lead to identify, vet, and manage high-impact commercial partners that align with strategic growth objectives.
• Value Proposition: Continuously refine and optimise our partnership value proposition, ensuring the offering is commercially competitive and meets the needs of key stakeholders.

Franchisee Enablement

• Capability Building: Move franchisees from "supported" to "independent" by building their capability to pitch and bid effectively.
• Knowledge Bank: Create and maintain a "Bid-in-a-Box"—a centralized library of templates, case studies, PSQ responses, and technical PDFs that make bidding fast and scalable.
• Review & Audit: Act as the final "expert eye" on franchisee-led bids to ensure quality and brand consistency.

You’ll be successful in this role at OVO if you are…

• Strong communicator - you can write a technical tender response that wins over a procurement board, and a pitch deck that excites a commercial business owner.
• Entrepreneurial spirit - You enjoy the "scrappy" nature of a franchise model. You're happy to jump on a call to help a franchisee close a £70k project one day, and support a £1.2m council bid the next.
• Strategic navigator - review opportunities and focus on the highest impact. You have the judgement to prioritise high-likelihood wins over "busy work."
• Pragmatic, resourceful and fast-moving - happy to operate in an ambiguous startup-style environment and make judgement calls
• Proven experience in bid management & BD - you have a track record of winning pitches, bids and tenders primarily in the private sector and possibly in the public sector.
• Commercial storyteller - you have the writing capability to turn technical solar and heat specifications into a compelling value proposition. You can create pitch decks that land with private-sector decision-makers.
• Strategic relationship builder - you have experience in "pre-tender" engagement. You know how to identify and influence key stakeholders in commercial organisations. An existing network is a big plus.
• Capability builder - You’ve built "knowledge banks" or "bid-in-a-box" templates before. You know how to centralise case studies, compliance docs, and technical PDFs to make the bidding process scalable.

Let’s talk about what’s in it for you:

We’ll pay you between £55,000 and £60,000, depending on your specific skills and experience.

We keep our pay ranges broad on purpose to give us, and you, flexibility to match your experience to our zero carbon mission.

You’ll be eligible for an on-target bonus of 15%. We have one OVO bonus plan that focuses on the collective performance of our people to deliver our Plan Zero goal. 

We also offer plenty of green benefits and progressive policies to help you feel like you belong at OVO…and there’s flex pay. We'll give you 9% Flex Pay on top of your salary – 4% of this is auto enrolled into your pension, and the remaining 5% is yours to do what you like with. You can use this to buy from our extensive range of flexible benefits, including our green benefits which we've put at the heart of our offering, add to your pension or even take it as cash.

Here’s a taster of what’s on offer: 

For starters, you’ll get 34 days of holiday (including bank holidays).

For your health
With benefits like a healthcare cash plan or private medical insurance depending on your career level, critical illness cover, life assurance, health assessments, and more

For your wellbeing
With gym membership, travel insurance, workplace ISA, will writing services, dental insurance, and more

For your lifestyle
With extra holiday buying, discount dining, home & tech loans, and supporting your favourite charities with give-as-you-earn donations

For your home 
Get up to £400 towards any OVO Energy plan, plus great discounts on solar, smart thermostats and EV chargers

For your commute
Nab a great deal on ultra-low emission car leasing, plus our cycle to work scheme and public transport season ticket loans

For your Belonging

To find better ways to support our people, we need to listen to each other’s experiences and find ways to build a truly inclusive and diverse workplace. As part of this, we have 8 Belonging Networks at OVO. Led by our people, for our people - so when you join OVO, you can play a part - big or small - with any of the Networks. It's up to you.

Oh, and one last thing...

We’d be thrilled if you tick off all our boxes, yet we also believe it’s just as important we tick off all of yours. And if you think you have most of what we’re looking for but not every single thing, go ahead and hit apply. We’d still love to hear from you!

If you have any additional requirements, there’s a space to let us know on the application form; we want to make the process as easy and comfortable for you as possible.

THE ROLE

We are seeking an experienced Change Manager to lead the people side of digital transformation at NextEnergy Group. This is a newly created function and role, the first of its kind in the organisation, and represents a genuine opportunity to define how change is managed, communicated, and embedded across the business. 

You will be responsible for ensuring that digital initiatives delivered by the Technology & Digital Services (TDS) team land successfully with end users, driving adoption, minimising disruption, and maximising the return on our technology investments. Working closely with a network of business-side change agents, including our Communications & Branding team, you will align internal communications, readiness activities, and training to support the rollout of our growing portfolio of digital products and platforms. 

This role requires someone who can build from the ground up establishing the change management standards, tools, and frameworks that will underpin TDS delivery for years to come – while simultaneously managing an in-flight portfolio of initiatives from day one.  

You will need to be as comfortable chairing our Change Advisory Board (CAB) and influencing senior stakeholders as you are coaching a change agent or product manager through the change process for the first time. 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Change Strategy & Framework 

• Define, implement, and continuously improve a structured change management methodology aligned to an industry-recognised framework (e.g. Prosci/ADKAR, Kotter, or equivalent), building a repeatable, scalable approach that can grow with the team. 

• Develop and maintain the organisation's change management standards, templates, and playbooks for digital initiative rollouts. 

• Assess the change impact and organisational readiness for each initiative, tailoring the approach to the scale, risk, and complexity of each rollout. 

• Ensure change management activities are fully embedded within the agile delivery framework, integrated from project inception through to post-launch adoption rather than treated as a downstream activity. 

• Ensure that all change initiatives are clearly positioned within the broader Group strategy, reinforcing organisational priorities and helping employees understand the strategic rationale behind digital transformation efforts. 

• Build the change management capability of the TDS team and wider business, creating shared language and consistent practices. 

• Define how change management success is measured, ensuring all metrics and outcomes are aligned to the organisation's existing benefits realisation framework, and incorporating employee engagement, sentiment, and change readiness indicators in collaboration with Communications and People teams. 

Change Advisory Board (CAB) 

• Co-Chair the CAB, joowning the agenda, process, and rigour of change request reviews across the TDS portfolio. 

• Ensure that change requests are assessed consistently, with appropriate stakeholder representation and clear decision-making on approval, deferral, or rejection. 

• Coach both change agents and product managers on the CAB process, building understanding and confidence in how to prepare, present, and respond to change requests effectively. 

• Continuously improve the CAB process to keep pace with the volume and complexity of digital change across the organisation. 

Digital Initiative Delivery 

• Partner with Product Managers and the PMO to embed change management activities into the agile delivery lifecycle from inception through to post-launch adoption. 

• Develop and execute change plans for concurrent digital rollouts, managing competing priorities and timelines across the TDS portfolio. 

• Track adoption and benefits realisation against agreed metrics, providing clear and regular reporting to senior stakeholders in line with the organisation's benefits realisation framework. 

• Lead post-implementation reviews to capture lessons learned and continuously improve the change approach. 

Change Agent Network 

• Identify, engage, and develop a network of change agents across the business to act as champions for digital initiatives within their teams. 

• Coach change agents on change management principles and practice, equipping them with the tools, messaging, and confidence they need to drive adoption locally. 

• Maintain strong, trust-based relationships with change agents, acting as their primary point of contact and escalation route throughout each rollout. 

Stakeholder Engagement & Internal Communications 

• Map and manage stakeholder groups across each initiative, developing targeted engagement strategies based on impact and influence. 

• Work in partnership with the Communications & Branding team to develop and coordinate internal communications, ensuring messaging is aligned to the Group’s strategic narrative, fully on-brand, clear, timely, and tailored to the audience, in line with established communications governance and approval processes. 

• All internal communications will be developed in partnership with the Communications & Branding team, who retain ownership of tone of voice, messaging standards, brand alignment, and channel governance. 

• Facilitate workshops, roadshows, and briefing sessions to build awareness and desire for change across affected teams. 

• Provide coaching and support to senior leaders to help them fulfil their role as visible and effective change sponsors, establishing clear expectations and accountability for active leadership throughout each initiative lifecycle. 

Training & Enablement 

• Identify training needs arising from digital rollouts and coordinate the development and delivery of appropriate learning interventions. 

• Ensure end users are fully equipped to adopt new tools, processes, and ways of working before go-live. 

• Develop self-service enablement resources to support ongoing adoption beyond the initial rollout period. 

Risk & Resistance Management 

• Proactively identify resistance to change and develop targeted mitigation strategies to address it. 

• Escalate material change risks to the Head of Product & PMO and relevant project sponsors, with recommended actions. 

• Monitor adoption and usage data post-launch, identifying areas where additional support or intervention is needed. 

SKILLS & COMPETENCIES

To be successful in this role, you will demonstrate:

• Deep expertise in at least one industry-recognised change management methodology (e.g. Prosci/ADKAR, Kotter, or similar), with the ability to adapt and evolve the approach to suit the organisation. 

• Proven ability to build change management frameworks and practices from scratch in an organisation with limited existing capability. 

• Strong understanding of how technology and digital change affects people, processes, and culture  and what it takes to make adoption stick. 

• Experience chairing or leading a Change Advisory Board process in a technology or digital environment is highly desirable. 

• Fluency in agile delivery practices and the ability to integrate change management activities seamlessly into agile ways of working. 

• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence and build trust at all levels of the organisation without direct authority. 

• Confident communicator, able to translate complex technical change into clear, compelling narratives for non-technical audiences.
