Our UK energy system continues to change rapidly and fundamentally on the path to net zero by 2050.

National Grid and its Business Units are pivotal to enabling the Net Zero transition, and Strategy is the engine room for this, setting the direction for National Grid to operate in, to deliver a clean, fair and affordable energy future for all.

Your curiosity, attention to detail and focus will enable you to absorb the questions and break the problems into manageable building blocks - quickly picking up the sector content and understanding required.

You'll lead and undertake primary research, developing structured and insightful strategic analysis; and by translating this into meaningful insights and recommendations, you'll create high quality Board and Executive level communications to shape prominent strategic decisions.

Being part of our high calibre, motivated and inclusive team, your continued expertise will lead to further excellent career opportunities.

About You:

You're analytical, inquisitive, able to constructively challenge, whilst building strong and meaningful relationships with stakeholders internally and externally.

Your enthusiasm for sharing knowledge with others and openness to diverse ideas, will enable you to successfully solve complex problems, and present them to large audiences.
