- Turn complex data and market dynamics into clear, accessible narratives that support senior leaders and decision forums
- Help shape commercial opportunities by monitoring regulatory change and industry challenges, and thoughtfully assessing impact and risk
- Bring care and precision to your work, maintaining strong attention to detail and supporting governance and controls
You have
- Deep experience and expertise in highly specialised areas of GB energy trading and market operations
- Strong commercial understanding and advanced numeracy, with confidence building insight from data and systems
- Comfort with coding and/or data management approaches, and an interest in continuously improving analytical capability
- A proven ability to influence with clarity and empathy - supporting stakeholders at all levels up to Executive Director and Board
- A collaborative, grounded style: you share knowledge generously, ask for help when needed, and bring others with you through change
