About The Position

Join us, be part of more. We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that's energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels, whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently - we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it. The Strategy Analyst supports the Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer (CSTO) in translating strategic priorities into structured plans, clear governance, and disciplined execution. The role helps close existing governance and coordination gaps by tracking strategic initiatives, supporting prioritisation, and ensuring actions, decisions, and dependencies are visible and followed through. Operating at the interface of strategy and transformation delivery, the role combines analytical support with light project management and administrative coordination. It enables the CSTO to focus on strategic leadership by taking ownership of the “doing”: preparing materials, maintaining oversight of priorities, coordinating inputs across teams, and ensuring strategy-related activity progresses in line with agreed direction.
