About the role
Help turn data into decisions across a £600m+ capital programme in our East region.
You’ll lead our portfolio intelligence and delivery reporting capability, giving leaders a clear view of performance and helping identify where intervention can keep projects and programmes on track.
Why this role matters
Our East region includes some of the most important operational sites on our network, from Bacton Gas Terminal to compressor stations across the region. Behind that infrastructure sits a significant programme of investment, and good decisions depend on having the right insight at the right time.
You’ll bring together data from across the portfolio, spot emerging risks, trends, and dependencies, and translate them into clear recommendations. Your insight will help leaders focus attention where it matters most, strengthen delivery confidence, and get the best from our investment across the region.
What you'll be doing
- Lead and continually improve portfolio intelligence and reporting across the East region
- Provide clear, decision-focused insight on delivery performance, risks, dependencies, and emerging issues
- Own Programme Board and executive portfolio reporting, turning complex data into actionable recommendations
- Develop performance measures covering areas such as cost, schedule, milestones, delivery confidence, and intervention
- Challenge teams on performance, data quality, assumptions, risks, and recovery plans
- Lead intervention and escalation processes to help teams address slippage, blockers, and cross-portfolio dependencies
- Manage, coach, and develop a Reporting Analyst, setting priorities and maintaining high standards of reporting
What you'll bring
This role would suit someone who enjoys looking beyond the numbers to understand what they mean, asking the right questions, and using insight to influence better decisions.
