Amber is an entirely new way to buy and sell power, designed for a world powered by renewable energy.

Key Responsibilities

- Own Amber's compliance framework across all NEM retailer obligations: designing, maintaining, and continuously improving the systems, registers, and processes that keep us on top of our obligations.
- Act as Amber's point of contact for regulators including the AER, AEMO, AEMC, and state-based bodies: building trusted relationships and representing Amber's interests with credibility.
- Work with the Legal team to translate regulatory obligations under the NERR, NER, and relevant state legislation into accessible, actionable guidance for operations, product and finance teams.
- Oversee all regulatory reporting submissions, formal information requests, and licence condition obligations: ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and cross-functional validation.
- Coordinate Amber's engagement in regulatory consultations, rule change processes, and reform workstreams: project managing submissions, tracking deadlines, and ensuring cross-functional input is gathered and distilled effectively.
- Maintain a forward‑looking view of regulatory change: horizon‑scanning for reforms across retail, network, and wholesale markets and assessing their business impact before they land.
- The opportunity to represent Amber externally in stakeholder forums: advocating for fit‑for‑purpose regulatory frameworks that work for innovative retailers.
- Maintain Amber's regulatory innovation pathways, including engagement with bodies on bespoke compliance approaches suited to our wholesale pass‑through model.
- Drive cross‑functional delivery of complex regulatory projects.
- Partner with teams across the business to embed regulatory requirements into roadmaps and processes: acting as a strategic enabler rather than just a compliance review department.
- Build and uplift regulatory capability across the operations business: training teams,



creating accessible guidance materials, and instilling a culture of proactive compliance.
- Manage and develop compliance staff.
- Support the business to build scalable internal compliance systems and tooling that can grow with the business, reducing manual effort while increasing rigour and auditability.
