Experience developing and communicating high-quality performance insights for a range of audiences, ideally supported by portfolio management experience within major infrastructure or capital development programmes.
A good understanding of the energy sector, including the role of interconnectors, and awareness of the economic, regulatory and political factors shaping the transition to a net zero future.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex information into clear and compelling messages for a range of audiences.

What you'll get

A competitive salary between £94,000 - £117,000 per annum– dependent on capability.

Please note that in most cases, National Grid is unable to offer sponsorship for employment under the UK points-based immigration system. As such, applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK without requiring sponsorship now or in the future under the UK points-based immigration system. However, in exceptional circumstances where there is a clear and demonstrable need for specialist skills that cannot be sourced from the local labour market, National Grid may consider offering sponsorship. All applications are welcome from candidates who meet these requirements, regardless of race, nationality, or ethnic origin.
