Ausgrid is on an exciting transformation journey and now is the time to be a part of something big.

We are proud to service Australia's east coast, as a leading business in energy distribution, delivering a safe and reliable electricity supply to more than 1.8 million homes and businesses - that's over four million Australians relying on us every day.

Our vision is simple; for our communities to have the power for a resilient, affordable net zero future.

We take pride in knowing that the work we collectively achieve today, will transform the world tomorrow. We value a culture of working and living safely, being customer focussed, commercially minded, collaborative, honest, accountable, and respectful. Our values are not just initiatives driven by leaders; they define the way we work.

Your new role


As Manager Grid Strategy you will lead a team to develop Ausgrid's electrification strategy to further drive the energy transition for our customers as they adopt greater levels of CER and electrify appliances.

You will drive transformation within the Network Strategy & Future Grid domain, helping it to achieve its overall strategic direction, transforming Ausgrid's network strategy, connection policy and other associated initiatives.

You will monitor how Ausgrid modernises its approach to delivering the future of the grid to unlock value for customers, stakeholders and shareholders.

This role is not just about transforming our business; it's about reshaping the future of energy delivery and unlocking value for our community.


Your key responsibilities will include the following:

Leadership

  • Lead a team of experienced strategists and specialists to deliver priorities in a commercially and politically nuanced manner, ensuring highquality outcomes communicated effectively to stakeholders.
  • Take a leadership role in developing the organisation's capabilities in options analysis, risk evaluation, and strategy recommendations suitable for executive and board consideration.
  • Cultivate a culture aligned with Ausgrid's values of safety, commercial focus, collaboration, customercentricity, and efficiency.

Strategy Development and Process Improvement

  • Lead the transformation of Ausgrid's network strategy, connection policy, and associated initiatives, modernising the approach to deliver value for customers, stakeholders, and shareholders.
  • Translate corporate objectives into actionable initiatives for strategic asset management, network strategy, and customer energy resource integration.
  • Develop technically and commercially effective network and asset management strategies leveraging best practice.
  • Implement an electrification, grid modernisation, and network strategy improvement plan, ensuring alignment with organisational goals and external influences.
  • Support the development of frameworks to monitor performance and sustainability, facilitating ongoing adjustments.

Governance

  • Develop a standardised framework for strategy and initiative development, maximising wholelife value and customer outcomes.
  • Ensure strategic asset management plans guide investment prioritisation and allocation effectively.
  • Review business cases to ensure accurate capture of benefits and implementation costs, adapting business processes for maximum benefit.
  • Manage knowledge management and risk valuation processes to align with changing customer needs and industry best practices.

Subject Matter Expertise & Change Management

  • Consult with internal and external stakeholders to develop network strategies and improve technical and commercial performance.
  • Develop strategies for asset management capability and knowledge management to embed sustainable practices within the business.
  • Foster a culture of innovation that adapts Ausgrid's direction and approach in response to industry developments.

Stakeholder Management

  • Represent Ausgrid at industry peak bodies to collaborate on relevant policies and industry approaches, such as integrating and unlocking customer energy resources.
  • Anticipate future needs and integrate information from multiple sources to effectively adjust the organisation's direction.
  • Work cooperatively with key stakeholders to improve the overall electrical industry approach to asset, network, and connection policy management.
