About the role

12 Month Fixed Term | Melbourne Based | Hybrid Office

As Initiative Lead, you'll lead AGL's business response to key upcoming regulatory changes, including the Energy Retail Code of Practice (Victoria), AEMC Consumer Focussed Reforms (NSW, QLD, SA), and Accelerated Smart Meter Deployment.

You'll manage the full program lifecycle—from strategy and planning to delivery and compliance—working across teams to ensure regulatory requirements are met while supporting customer and business outcomes. Strong project leadership, stakeholder management, and a solid grasp of the energy retail sector are essential.

What you'll be doing:

  • Define and document the regulatory approach by analysing rule changes, clarifying grey areas, collaborating with legal and regulatory teams, and leading strategic decision-making via a Steering Committee.
  • Own the successful delivery of the Regulatory Reform Program—mobilising cross-functional teams, applying strong project management practices, and ensuring delivery meets time, budget, and quality targets.
  • Build strong relationships with executive sponsors and stakeholders, influence decision-making, and keep the business aligned and informed through tailored change and communications plans.
  • Ensure a smooth transition to business-as-usual with thorough post-implementation reviews, robust reporting, and clear handovers that enable ongoing compliance and performance tracking.
  • Stay across the wider regulatory landscape to identify overlaps, support other change initiatives, and act as a subject matter expert where needed to maintain alignment and consistency.

About you:

  • Strong leadership and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to influence and drive change at all levels of the organisation.
  • Strong project management skills and a detail-oriented mindset
  • Previous experience leading teams to deliver programs of work.
  • Deep retail energy industry understanding, with strong knowledge of processes.
  • Commercial acumen with excellent communication and presentation skills.

At AGL, we offer a wide range of benefits including:

  • Flexible working options including hybrid work.
  • Discounts on energy, telcos and solar plans.
  • Participate in Energise - our reward & recognition program.
  • Play an active role in our diversity & inclusion initiatives.
