Translate insights into compelling business cases and support the transition from strategy to delivery

You'll be based at our Office in Raynesway, Derby. 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, WFH flexibility available and travel to other sites will be required at times so you’ll need to hold a full U.K driving licence.
