Transformation Workstream Analysts

As the UK's largest water company, we are taking action for a new world of water - fixing the problems of today, and building resilience for tomorrow. Finance and Commercial are embarking on a multiyear transformation journey programme to transform our function – the way we are organised, the systems we use, the processes we have in place and the data we rely on.

As a function we need to develop "FTSE Fit" capabilities across our people, processes, systems and data to effectively support a business of this significance.

The Workstream Analyst will work closely with Workstream Leads, subject matter experts, business stakeholders and delivery partners to analyse business challenges, develop recommendations, coordinate delivery activities and support the successful implementation of change. Analysts may support multiple work streams simultaneously, depending on programme priorities and business needs.
