Descripción del empleo

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 Do

You’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.

Regulatory Reporting Cycles

• Operate the annual regulatory reporting cycle for Digital and IT, producing allocated tables to submission standard and to deadline.
• Complete assurance documentation, maintaining verification checks, sign-off evidence and a clear audit trail.
• Reconcile reported positions to finance control totals and resolve boundary, classification and tagging issues with the relevant owners.
• Design and establish a quarterly internal reporting rhythm from the annual cycle, reducing end-of-year effort and key person dependency.
• Support ad-hoc regulatory activity, such as reopeners, with traceable portfolio and cost evidence.

Connected View and Traceability

• Establish and operate the view linking regulatory commitments, funded investment, delivery and outcomes across the Digital and OT portfolios.
• Maintain traceability between what was funded and what is being delivered, surfacing gaps and divergence early and objectively, for others to act on.
• Source portfolio and financial data from the portfolios that own it, holding a documented record of source, ownership and reconciliation rather than recreating or correcting it.
• Maintain and improve the underlying data product, reporting tooling and automation, for example Power BI and ServiceNow SPM.

Insight and Decision Support

• Analyse trends, risks and divergence, providing actionable insight and recommendations to portfolio leadership and senior stakeholders.
• Support option and scenario analysis to inform prioritisation and sequencing within a fixed funding envelope.
• Operate and develop the funding triage and pipeline process, enabling portfolios to self-triage and supporting recommendations to Digital Guild.
• Prepare analysis and evidence for governance forums, senior reviews and investment decision points.
• Communicate insight clearly and concisely to technical, non-technical and senior audiences.
