Job description

At Severn Trent, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide for employee engagement, and we’re equally proud of our strong Glassdoor score – reflecting how much our people love working here.

Join us to make a positive impact on the environment and our communities, while being valued and supported in a truly inclusive workplace.

If you want to do more, because you care, we want you on our team.

Everything you need to know

We’re looking for an ambitious and proactive Investor Relations Analyst to join our high-profile IR team. This is a fantastic opportunity to work closely with senior leaders, including the Executive Committee, CEO and CFO, while helping shape and communicate our equity story to the market.

In this fast-paced and visible role, you’ll play a key part in preparing external communications, ensuring our performance, strategy, and vision are clearly articulated to investors and analysts. You’ll build strong relationships across the business, using data and insight to support compelling and accurate messaging.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting the delivery of interim, full-year and quarterly results – including presentations, scripts, announcements and Q&A
• Creating high-quality investor materials such as presentations, reports and website content
• Monitoring market trends, competitor activity and shareholder movements, turning insights into clear recommendations
• Producing reporting and analysis for senior stakeholders, including the Board and Executive Committee
• Maintaining market consensus data and providing insight into analyst expectations
• Delivering financial analysis, modelling and benchmarking to support performance storytelling
• Supporting engagement with investors and analysts, responding to queries with clear, data-driven insights
• Helping to plan and deliver investor events, including Capital Markets Days and site visits
• Ensuring all external communications are accurate, consistent and compliant

How We Work

You’ll be based at our Severn Trent Centre in Coventry. With this being such a critical role, we’re looking for someone who can join us 37 hours a week.

You’ll join a caring culture that collaborates to achieve, grow, and develop. Our employee engagement scores are among the highest globally in energy and utilities. That’s why we value in-person moments to keep our culture alive but also understand the flexibility working from home can bring. So, you’ll usually find us in the office, but working from home is supported, when you need it.

What we’re looking for

To succeed in this role you will have:

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to simplify complex information
• Excellent communication skills, with confidence engaging senior stakeholders
• A proactive, self-starting mindset and a genuine interest in financial markets
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to work at pace across multiple priorities
• A collaborative approach, with the ability to build relationships across a wide network
• Resilience, motivation and a strong team spirit

It would be great if you also have

• Experience in Investor Relations, financial reporting or corporate communications
• A background in finance or capital markets
• Knowledge of the regulated water sector
• An accountancy qualification (desirable, not essential)

How we’ll reward and care for you

It’s not just a job you’ll get here, you’ll get a career too.

We have a range of benefits that reward and recognise great work and award-winning training to ensure you reach your potential. And we’ll also help you play your part in looking after the environment and the community in which we live.

Here’s some of our favourites

• 28 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy/sell up to 5 days per year)
• Annual bonus scheme (of up to £2,250 per annum based on company performance)
• Leading pension scheme – we will double your contribution (up to 15% when you contribute 7.5%)
• Sharesave – the chance to buy Severn Trent Plc shares at a discounted rate
• Dedicated training and development with our ‘Academy’
• Electric vehicle scheme and retail offers
• Family friendly policies
• Two volunteer days per year
