- Undertake transaction benchmarking and impact assessments, preparing clear analysis and supporting information for regulatory and commercial requirements.

- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to work with structured data, identify what it is telling you and turn the findings into meaningful actions or improvements.
- An ability to interpret legislation, regulation or complex commercial information and translate it into clear, practical business requirements. Exposure to gas or energy regulation would be highly regarded.
- A curious and improvement‑focused mindset, with examples of questioning existing ways of working and developing better processes, tools or solutions.
- Strong attention to detail and written communication skills, with confidence preparing accurate analysis, reports, documentation and supporting materials.
- A collaborative and accountable approach, comfortable working across different teams, managing priorities and taking ownership of work through to completion, with an openness to using AI and other digital tools to work more efficiently.
