Lead Energy Regulatory Change

Drive the transition to a secure, reliable, and affordable energy future in Australia as a high-impact leader.

The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) works to make energy consumers better off, now and in the future. We focus on ensuring a long-term, sustainable energy future for Australia through effective regulation and enforcement.

Our Key Objectives:
  • Protect vulnerable consumers while enabling all consumers to participate in electricity and gas markets
  • Effectively regulate competitive electricity and gas markets primarily through monitoring and reporting, and enforcement and compliance

  • Evolving our regulatory frameworks and approaches to support the transition to a net-zero emissions future

As a senior leader, you will navigate complex regulatory landscapes and help shape the AER into a recognised, high-performing regulator who is committed to transparently working with all stakeholders invested in the affordable and reliable supply of energy.

  2. Develop and manage the AER's annual budget, ensuring activities are conducted within approved parameters and aligned with the strategic priorities
  3. Lead and empower the senior leadership team, assigning responsibilities clearly, supervising performance, and fostering a high-performing, values-driven culture
  4. Maintain regular contact with the Chair, ensuring timely communication of developments that might require board-level action
  5. Oversee strategic and operational planning, identifying objectives and strategies required to achieve the AER's approved strategic plan
  6. Recommend significant operational changes to the Board as required, ensuring responsiveness to emerging challenges and opportunities
  7. Ensure the Board is provided with accurate, timely, and clear information and materials, enabling effective governance and decision-making
  8. Implement board-approved policies, processes, and codes, ensuring alignment with broader APS governance frameworks
  9. Instil and reinforce the AER's purpose and values, promoting ethical and responsible behaviour, innovation, and excellence
  10. Represent the AER externally, providing a strong, credible presence in engagements with senior government officials, regulators, industry leaders, and consumer groups
  11. Model exemplary standards of behaviour, stewarding the agency and articulating the organisation's culture, thereby fostering a positive internal climate
