About you

You have the gravitas to operate independently both internally and externally and to stand by your positions.

You are entrepreneurial, an expert at driving commercial value and can bring best practice from other parts of the energy sector as well as from other industries. You are open to new ideas and new ways of doing things.

You are keen to learn and will not be bound by your role profile in driving commercial value. An understanding of the regulatory environment that National Grid operates in would be desirable, as would a good understanding of procurement, commercial value, contractual processes, project management, and analysing and identifying sources of risk.

So if you’re excited about this role but your experience or qualifications don’t match the job description exactly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might just be the right person for our growing business in this role or another one.
