Insights & Change Analyst

Hello, we’re Severn Trent and we think water…and people, are wonderful.

For the last 8 years, Severn Trent have led the sector for ODI performance, but ODIs have changed in AMP8. The rewards are higher, but so too are the risks.

Ofwat have reduced Outcome Delivery Incentives (ODIs) by around 40% and we now have 24 in total, with ODIs being the same for all water companies.

When it comes to reward for good performance, there will be more for us to go after, but the penalties can be much higher if we don’t perform.

With bigger risks and bigger rewards, we are truly getting behind our ODIs and are excited for you to join our ODI Centre of Excellence team.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

As an Insights & Change Analyst you will play a crucial role in bridging the gap between data and business strategy. You will identify improvements and innovations that will drive ODI benefits, cycling through two or three programmes of work with a handful of ODIs at a time.

You’ll support the development of new ideas and ultimately plans to deliver a step change in performance on key ODI’s for AMP8. This will be done by conducting analysis to identify drivers, reviewing innovations that have been rolled out by other companies and creating new ideas utilising multiple data sources.

Some of your other key accountabilities will include:

Identifying existing and new data analysis to inform improvements in ODI delivery and support in pulling together relevant business cases
Gathering and presenting evidence to support key arguments for what different approaches could deliver (whether that is a new product, specific types of interventions of other)
Reviewing and summarising published documents in both written and verbal formats
Conducting desk research to find opportunities and innovations from across the world that might have applications here that would improve ODI performance
Gathering and utilising data to support cost benefit analysis

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE

We are looking for a Data Analyst who excels in statistical analysis and data visualisation, capable of telling compelling stories to non-technical audiences. You will have excellent communication skills with the ability to present your findings to senior stakeholders, offering creative ideas and recommendations to improve ODI performance

You’ll join the team with a strong analytical mindset, with the ability to define and solve complex problems. You should have experience in utilising data from multiple sources to draw clear findings, as well as experience of writing succinct technical reports and compelling business case papers.

To be successful, you’ll need to have the capability to communicate your findings and progress within a larger team, as well as the ability to provide real added value insight and interpretation of performance outcomes, potential risks, and opportunities. You should be able to articulate and clearly frame these while guiding the stakeholders to the key issues and drivers.

It's expected that you’ll integrate complex, and sometimes disparate, technical information and be able to articulate key points clearly and persuasively using a robust foundation of communication skills.

We’ll also be looking for you to build an internal network with key stakeholders around Severn Trent and be able to manage and prioritise multiple activities at a time.
