At Severn Trent, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re in the top 5% of utility companies worldwide when it comes to employee engagement and ranked as a Top 50 UK Employer on Glassdoor. Join us in making 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 a motivated Financial Performance Analyst to join our Commercial team on a 12‑month fixed‑term contract. Reporting to the Senior Commercial Business Partner, you’ll provide financial and commercial insight that supports key decisions across Severn Trent and our partner Water Companies.

You’ll play an important role in managing revenue and bad debt reporting, preparing budgets and forecasts, and maintaining strong relationships with Other Water Companies. This is a great opportunity to work in a collaborative team, gain exposure to senior stakeholders, and make a real impact.

 

What you’ll be doing:

 

  • Managing the Other Water Company (OWC) revenue and bad debt model

 

  • Building strong working relationships with OWCs

 

  • Reviewing OWC forecasts and submissions for budgets and regulatory reporting

 

  • Leading bad debt modelling and supporting revenue planning

 

  • Completing month‑end reporting and balance sheet reconciliations

 

  • Acting as the main contact for audit queries

 

  • Providing insightful analysis on variances, risks and opportunities

 

  • Preparing clear monthly forecasts

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

 

  • Fully qualified accountant (ACA / CIMA / ACCA)

 

  • Experience in a financial analyst role

 

  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret and explain complex information

 

  • Excellent communication with confidence to challenge and influence

 

  • Ability to build strong internal and external relationships

 

  • Strong MS Office skills, especially Excel

 

  • Highly organised and able to manage deadlines

 

  • Commercial awareness and good financial judgement

 

Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter too. We welcome and celebrate diverse individuals, knowing they help us better serve our communities. We seek people who get involved, want to be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.

 

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.
