What you’ll be responsible for

Reporting to the Strategy Director, the Senior Strategy Manager plays a central role in shaping Welsh Water’s strategic direction by leading the development of strategic content, coordinating long-term business planning, and liaising with stakeholders on strategic issues.

The role is responsible for supporting the end-to-end strategy and business planning processes, ensuring that long-term pathways, choices and trade-offs are clearly articulated, credible and grounded in evidence.

4. Manage strategic planning frameworks and governance, ensuring alignment between corporate strategy, business planning and asset investment.

5. Prepare high-quality written materials for Executive and Board consideration, including strategy papers, long-term plans and options narratives.
6. Work closely with Regulation, Finance, Asset Planning, Customer and Operations teams to ensure long-term plans are informed by evidence.

7. Contribute to the ongoing development of tools to promote a strong strategic culture across the organisation, encouraging long-term thinking, collaboration and evidence-based decision-making

8. Support the development of policy positions on regulatory reform and national plans, and engage with external stakeholders to push forward and shape reforms to the regulatory framework in Wales, in line with the needs of our strategy and plans.

9. Support government and policy engagement by producing policy analysis, insights and strategic positions to inform external consultations and national strategic plans.
