Operational Account Manager
About this role
The role of Operational Account Manager (Energy Codes) sits within Talan UK's Future Markets function and is part of the Stakeholder Engagement team. Energy Codes are at the heart of the regulation of the GB energy market, setting the standards for new and improved ways of working. Covering the complete breadth of the market, Code Reform has introduced a new model of cooperation and best practice for Code Management and delivered a new digital, modern, and accessible, consumer-centric code.
Our team of Operational Account Managers is integral to the onboarding and socialisation of these arrangements. The team is responsible for working with Parties to the Codes, and other key stakeholders. They have a primary role, providing named support to multiple parties and stakeholders. They understand differing party types and individual company needs and recognise where parties may be impacted by changes to the Codes and the way the arrangements work.
They are responsible for working with Stakeholders to help them develop their understanding of the code and respective responsibilities within it. The Operational Account Managers work with all Code Manager functions to understand the scale and impact of change and ensure parties are always informed and supported. They work across the Code Manager teams to ensure new parties are onboarded to the arrangements, and fully supported as they enter the market.
They ensure parties know how to access all elements of the code manager service and how they can provide feedback queries, and improvements to the arrangements. They need to explain the Code strategy in a language and context that is relevant to different organisations, accounting for their market role, experience, and business model. As well as high-level plans, the Operational Account Managers are sharing information and contributing to the training and development of new parties and new personnel.
The Operational Account Managers have a key supporting role in identifying and predicting change for the market and its participants. They contribute to the strategic direction of the Codes by evaluating its future requirements and assessing the appetite for change amongst parties and categories of Party, which in turn contribute to a more balanced and equitable market. Responsibilities include: Create and maintain close working relationships with a wide variety or party types, supporting them in engaging with all aspects of the Code and the services that it provides.
