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.

About the role:

The UK energy system is at a pivotal point: the transition to net-zero by 2050 is reshaping the energy landscape, with Hydrogen, Biomethane & Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) expected to play a pivotal role in decarbonising industry and infrastructure. At the same time, geopolitical events are driving a heightened interest in energy security. As the backbone of the UK energy system, National Gas’ network is a key part of any solution, making it central to delivering secure, resilient, and decarbonised energy.

The Insight & Business Development (BD) Manager leads the development of customer, stakeholder, competitor, and market intelligence across the UK and Europe. The role ensures that National Gas has the knowledge and insight required to identify and develop opportunities, manage risks, and shape future infrastructure and commercial strategies.

The Insight & BD Manager also leads programmes of work designed to strengthen National Gas’ competitive position and maximise returns across all activities and molecules, both regulated and unregulated. This includes leading on portfolio management, supporting project development and improving business performance and productivity by embedding data-led analysis and first principles thinking into decision-making. By combining quantitative analysis, customer insight and market intelligence, the role provides strategic recommendations that inform National Gas' long-term business development activities, regulatory positioning, investment decisions, and executive decision-making.

Key accountabilities:

  • Ownership of key customer and stakeholder intelligence processes including satisfaction surveys, insight reporting and analysis, business intelligence dashboards
  • High-quality analysis, models, and strategic recommendations to the Executive and Senior Leadership Team to inform decision-making and prioritisation across the development of natural gas, hydrogen, biomethane, CCS, and the wider energy markets.
  • Own and manage the business development opportunity pipeline, driving identification and prioritisation of new opportunities through market scanning and early decision-gates.
  • Lead early-stage opportunities from conception through to investment case development, working closely with other Business Development Managers.
  • Develop and lead programmes of work assessing the commercial viability, economics, strategic alignment and customer demand associated with projects across all molecules and drive projects towards delivery by providing robust analyses, scenario modelling, evidence, and recommendations.
  • Support competitive bid processes, regulatory submissions and funding applications through the provision of market intelligence, customer evidence and strategic analysis.
  • Collaborate with business development, strategy, regulation, commercial and technical teams to convert complex information into clear and actionable insights.
  • Lead external engagement activities with customers, regulators, government bodies, industry groups and European market participants to obtain market intelligence, develop propositions, explore market opportunities, and influence strategic and policy outcomes.
