About the role
You’ll lead value and efficiency delivery across our East Region, working alongside initiative leads to turn strategic change into measurable business results.
You’ll connect delivery, performance, cost, and benefits information to show where initiatives are making an impact, where intervention is needed, and how we can demonstrate the value being delivered.
Why this role matters
Our East region includes seven compressor stations, Bacton Gas Terminal, and key technical and corporate teams in Peterborough. With a number of strategic change and efficiency initiatives already underway, this role will play an important part in turning those plans into tangible outcomes.
You’ll work across the region to bring initiatives together, help teams overcome barriers, and translate change into measurable benefits. The insight and evidence you develop will help our senior leaders make informed decisions and demonstrate the value of our investment through future regulatory reporting.

- Drive progress across established strategic change and efficiency initiatives, turning plans into measurable business outcomes
- Partner with initiative leads to understand delivery progress, identify risks and blockers, and agree actions to keep initiatives moving
- Translate strategic initiatives into clear milestones, benefits, and measures of success
- Analyse costs, benefits, and unit-cost performance to quantify impact and demonstrate real business gains
- Turn complex project and performance data into meaningful insight for initiative teams, senior leaders, and regulatory reporting
- Provide clear executive-level updates on progress, performance, risks, benefits, and areas requiring intervention
- Connect activity across East’s strategic change portfolio, identifying opportunities and lessons that strengthen overall value delivery
