Job Purpose

National Grid Electricity Transmission's Asset Management team plays a critical role in shaping the future of the UK's electricity transmission network.

What you'll do

Lead and manage the Asset Management leadership team's performance rhythm, ensuring the right discussions, decisions and actions happen at the right time.
Own the monthly Asset Management Performance Pack, bringing together operational, financial, capability and risk insights into a clear executive-level view.
Support the Director and Senior Leadership Team with governance, decision-making, action tracking and strategic delivery.
Develop and maintain the department's capability framework, helping identify future skills requirements, training needs and workforce priorities.
Build strong relationships across Finance, HR, Communications, Regulation, Digital and operational teams to ensure effective collaboration and alignment.
Own the Asset Management Risk & Opportunity Log, facilitating reviews and ensuring actions are tracked through to completion.
Capture and represent the voice of internal customers, ensuring stakeholder feedback is understood and reflected in departmental priorities.
Develop and deliver internal communication plans that connect colleagues to the department's strategy, priorities and achievements.

Excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence and build trusted relationships at all levels.
Strong communication skills with the ability to turn complex information into clear, actionable insight.
Experience producing performance reporting, dashboards or executive-level management information.
A structured and proactive approach, with the ability to identify issues, opportunities and trends before they become challenges.
Confidence working across multiple disciplines including people, performance, risk, communications and business planning.
An understanding of organisational capability, workforce planning or skills development would be advantageous.
Experience working with financial performance information would be beneficial, although deep financial expertise is not required.
The ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities can evolve and no two days are the same.

What you'll get

A competitive salary between £60,000 – £75,000 – dependent on capability
