About the role
At National Gas, the work we do matters.
As Britain's national gas network, we help keep the lights on, businesses running, and homes warm by maintaining the critical infrastructure that transports gas across Great Britain. While providing the energy security Britain relies on today, we're also helping transform the network for a clean energy future.
Join us and help secure Britain's energy.
As a key member of our Strategy team, you will help shape the future direction of National Gas in an increasingly uncertain and fast-changing environment. The role combines corporate strategy development, strategic insight and executive decision support, helping the business navigate uncertainty arising from changes in energy markets, policy, technology and geopolitics while continuing to deliver energy security and enable a low-carbon energy system.
Key accountabilities
- Corporate strategy development: Develop corporate strategies and recommendations for Executive and Board audiences, combining clear storytelling with robust analysis and insight.
- Strategic insight and decision support: Provide strategic insight and decision support to the Strategy Director, Executive team and wider business on critical strategic questions.
- Navigating uncertainty and external change: Monitor developments in energy markets, regulation, technology, consumer and geopolitics, assessing implications for the company and identifying strategic opportunities and risks.
- Strategic projects: Lead and deliver high-value strategic projects that shape business priorities, investment decisions and future direction.
- Cross-functional leadership: Build relationships across the organisation, bringing together expertise from different teams to develop aligned recommendations and drive delivery of strategic outcomes.
