Regulation and Sustainability Analyst

As Regulation and Sustainability Analyst, you’ll play an important role in supporting the development of our regulatory strategy and helping to coordinate activity across regulatory and market frameworks in England and Scotland. You’ll carry out background research, support the drafting of consultation responses and maintain our horizon scanning tracker to make sure key consultations, market developments and regulatory activities are progressed.

You’ll also help provide insight and guidance to the business on regulatory obligations, market changes and emerging sustainability requirements. Working closely with the Head of Regulation and Sustainability, you’ll support the delivery of Business Stream’s sustainability strategy, helping us build on the progress we’ve made since launching our sustainability-led vision, Make a Positive Difference, in 2019. This will include tracking sustainability trends, supporting internal and external reporting, and helping to drive forward partnership commitments and social value activity.

We’re looking for someone with experience working in a regulated environment, ideally within utilities or another regulated sector. You’ll bring strong regulatory knowledge, excellent written skills and the ability to turn complex information into clear reports, briefings and consultation responses.

You’ll be confident managing competing priorities, coordinating activity across stakeholders and working at pace with strong attention to detail. You’ll also be collaborative, comfortable communicating with senior colleagues and able to support governance, sustainability reporting and continuous improvement.

Ideally, you’ll have at least three years’ regulatory experience and a degree, or equivalent experience, in a relevant subject such as politics, economics, law or business management. An ESG or CSR professional qualification would be desirable, but is not essential.

You’ll be a key team player in one of the largest water retailers in the UK, with lots of benefits and the chance to grow your career.

• Salary up to £38,000 plus bonus up to 20%
• Attractive pension plan
• Hybrid working (3 days in office, 2 days at home)
• 31 days annual leave and six bank holidays
• Subsidised staff restaurant and free gym membership

In everything we do, we’re driven to make a positive difference, and always strive to do the right thing by our customers, our people, our local communities and the environment.
