Job Description

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
We have a fantastic opportunity for you to join our Finance team as a Financial Performance Analyst. You'll be responsible for leading the analysis of Severn Trent Water and Hafren Dyfrdwy Non-Household revenue of c.500m per annum, providing commercial, operational and financial performance insight and decision support for senior stakeholders.
Reporting into the Senior Finance Business Partner, this role comes at a critical time with the financial, settlement and customer processes which are undergoing significant transformation with the introduction of BR-MeX, the Business Retail Experience ODI.
Key responsibilities will include:

• You will own the monthly reporting for Non-Household Revenue, diving deep into variance analysis and ensuring accuracy.
• Collaborate with our Settlements team to make sure revenue is correctly reported each month, including NAV and Bulk revenue, with strong financial controls in place.
• Deliver reliable revenue forecasts, backed by sound assumptions and robust enough to meet external assurance standards - feeding directly into tariff setting.
• Support the Wholesale Market Unit, contributing to annual business planning, stakeholder engagement, and financial modelling.
• Provide clear, insightful management information that helps our Executive team and strategic leaders make confident decisions.
• Chair the Non-Household Revenue Committee, helping drive performance and engagement across a community of senior leaders and our CFO.
• Help us evolve how we work, using data smartly and building a future-ready, efficient operating model.
• Build strong relationships with our retailers' finance teams, including Water Plus, to ensure transparency and early identification of any issues

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 per week.
HOW WE WORK
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
You will bring substantial experience in financial analysis, with a proven ability to deliver strategic insights and influence decision-making at a senior level.
Strong analytical and diagnostic skills, excellent communication, and the ability to build credible relationships across the business are essential. Experience of regulated revenue, and a wholesaler/retailer market would be advantageous.
The role requires a commercially minded individual with a solid understanding of control processes, capable of managing high workloads and driving performance improvements through data-led insight.
You will be a fully qualified accountant (ACA, CIMA, or ACCA) with strong MS Office skills.
We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities.
Skills and experience are important, but character, positivity, and a caring attitude matter too. We welcome and celebrate diverse individuals, knowing they help us better serve our communities. We seek people who get involved, want to be part of something bigger, and make a difference because they care.
HOW WE'LL REWARD AND CARE FOR YOU
It's not just a job you'll get here, you'll get a career too.
We have a range of benefits that reward and recognise great work and award-winning training to ensure you reach your potential. And we'll also help you play your part in looking after the environment and the community in which we live.
Here's some of our favourites:

• Annual salary of 55,000 - 60,000
• 28 days holiday + bank holidays (and the ability to buy/ sell up to 5 days per year)
• Annual bonus scheme (of up to 2,250 per annum based on company performance)
• Leading pension scheme - we will double your contribution (up to 15% when you contribute 7.5%)
• Sharesave - the chance to buy Severn Trent Plc shares at a discounted rate
• Dedicated training and development with our 'Academy'
• Electric vehicle scheme and retail offers
