National Grid is hiring a Portfolio Analyst to join our team in Warwick, with hybrid working. You'll play a key role in connecting regulatory commitments, investment and delivery across our Digital and Operational Technology portfolios, helping leaders see where delivery is moving away from the funded plan.

About

The Role This is an exciting opportunity to sit at the heart of NGET’s Digital and IT portfolio, helping senior leaders understand how our technology investment is performing against our regulatory commitments.

As a Portfolio Analyst, you’ll bring together the bigger picture across our Digital and Operational Technology portfolios, connecting regulatory commitments, investment and delivery into a clear, reliable view of performance.

You’ll play a key role in our annual regulatory reporting cycle, while helping us move towards a stronger quarterly rhythm supported by trusted data and insight. Your analysis will give leaders the evidence they need to understand where delivery is moving away from the funded regulatory plan, identify emerging risks and take action earlier.

This is particularly important in a fast-changing digital environment. Business priorities, technology and delivery will continue to evolve, but our funded RIIO commitments remain fixed across the price control period. You’ll help us navigate that challenge, providing the insight needed to protect our regulatory commitments while allowing delivery to adapt as priorities change.

You’ll own the integrity of this connected portfolio view, making sure the evidence behind it is robust, transparent and trusted. You won’t own the underlying financial or portfolio data itself, but you’ll work closely with the teams that do to turn their information into a powerful picture of investment, delivery and regulatory performance.

What You'll DoYou’ll play a key role in connecting our regulatory commitments, investment and delivery, providing the insight that helps leaders make confident, evidence-based decisions across our Digital and OT portfolios.
