UK Head of M&A

At National Grid, we are investing around £70bn over five years in our networks in the UK and the US, with a range of ground-breaking projects to expand our networks. We operate across six business units in the UK and the north-east of the US, with group revenue around £18bn.

Our strategy is focussed on delivering the brilliant basics to lead on performance, driving big shifts to define our future, and building our delivery credibility to drive disciplined growth. With a CEO change in the last year, our M&A team will be at the heart of a range of strategic conversations, with our portfolio continuing to evolve.

We are now recruiting for a Head of UK M&A, to support the Group Head of M&A, providing regional leadership across UK / Europe M&A and strategic investment activity.

Job purpose

Reporting to the Group Head of M&A, this role will act as a senior representative in the UK and European M&A markets with investment banks, potential partners, and industry peers, supporting the evaluation of major financial, investment, and portfolio matters for the CFO, CEO, Executive Committee, and Board.

The role may lead individual transactions or support the Group Head of M&A in the execution of projects, depending on the scale and complexity of the opportunity. The person in post will be equally comfortable operating as a strategic thinker and a ‘hands-on doer’, and will be adept at building relationships internally and externally.

Key accountabilities

Mergers, Acquisitions, and Disposals

Act as a key interface to the UK / European M&A market, helping lead relationships with investment banks, boutiques, potential equity partners, and peers in target companies, and using these networks to gather intelligence on opportunities, pricing, and competition.
Support regional origination and screening of acquisition, partnership, and disposal opportunities, helping to identify priority targets for monitoring and further analysis, and contributing recommendations to the CEO, CFO, and Board.
Lead or support multi-disciplinary teams comprising investment banks, technical, legal and other professional advisers, together with directly and indirectly reporting National Grid staff, to evaluate, make recommendations and, where appropriate, structure, design, and execute transactions.

Investment Guidelines and Appraisal

Support the ongoing development of the Group Investment Guidelines and regional stewardship of their application within National Grid’s businesses, helping ensure a consistent framework for evaluating and framing investment proposals.

Corporate Analysis and Advisory

Acts as a senior business partner on major strategic, financial and portfolio questions arising across the Group and regional businesses, supporting the CEO, CFO, and Board to advance the strategic agenda and respond to external developments as required.

Candidate profile

An extensive track record of M&A transaction experience
Experience in the energy sector, which could be in-house or in investment banking, PE, or similar
Adept at building senior-level relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, internally and externally
Able to operate both strategically and operationally, and to balance these areas
Experience on both buyer and seller side would be preferred

Location: the role will be based in London, with the person on-site around 3 days per week on average.

Salary: competitive base salary plus commensurate benefits.

The role closes on Wednesday 8th July at 23:59 BST.

We value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace for all. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates – we make appointments purely on merit, assessed against objective selection criteria. We support flexible working and will make reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process should you have any physical or mental impairment which may affect your ability to participate in the process.

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.
