Stakeholder Manager

We’re more than just a water company. We're dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment, sustainability, and the communities we serve. By joining us, you’ll work with the latest technologies, driving forward-thinking projects that enhance and protect national infrastructure, making a real difference to the communities we serve.

With nearly 10,000 colleagues, we're looking for more brilliant people who are passionate about sustainability, eager to innovate, and ready to turn challenges into opportunities for a better future.

LET’S CUT STRAIGHT TO IT

Are you a strategic communicator with a passion for stakeholder engagement? We’re looking for a Stakeholder Manager to lead communications and engagement across key planning initiatives, including Water Resource Management, Drought and Drainage Plans, and Strategic Resource Options.

Some of the other key accountabilities:

Lead stakeholder engagement across complex and sensitive projects
Collaborate with other water companies and organisations and promote Severn Trent’s interests in joint schemes
Translate customer and stakeholder feedback into actionable insights
Act as a key internal contact, liaising with Press Office, Legal, and other teams
Produce high-quality communications, briefings, and engagement plans

You'll be based at our Head Office in Coventry. You’ll work within our Asset Strategy Team. With this being such a critical role, we’re looking for someone who can join us 37 hours a week, but someone who can also be flexible. This is because occasionally there will be an expectation to work evenings and weekends, however you’ll be able to claim the time back.

As travel is required, you’ll also have to hold a full U.K driving licence.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Excellent communication skills
Strong relationship-building and influencing abilities across all levels
Strategic thinking with a customer-centric approach
Experience managing sensitive projects and navigating emotional issues
Ability to work independently and thrive in a fast-paced environment

Join us in shaping the future of water resource planning through impactful engagement and collaboration.

Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter too. We seek people who get involved, want to be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.
