ODI CoE Analyst

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

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.

As a ODI CoE Analyst 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. This position is for a 12 month FTC.

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

Working with internal stakeholders to identify and understand how our business operates and how the data we hold can be used to improve our performance

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) within the team and to other stakeholders

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

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.

HOW WE WORK

WFH flexibility available: 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

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 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.
