Job description
Who are we?
Thames Water is the UK's largest water and wastewater company. We make a daily difference to our 15 million customers by supplying 2.6 billion litres of water through 32,000 km's of pipes, to keep taps flowing and toilets flushing. We are an essential service and have operated throughout the Covid19 pandemic.
At Thames Water, every one of our actions, big and small, matters every day. Water is essential to daily life, and that means our business is always open.
What you will be doing
We are looking for an experienced Project Business Manager to lead the business management function within the team, managing the rhythm of the business, ensuring that work is tracked, resourced, and prioritised in line with our organisational strategy and the regulatory strategy that sits underneath it.
You will facilitate prioritisation discussions and lead our reporting of risks, issues, and opportunities across both strategy and regulatory affairs. You will work closely with the leadership team to help drive strategic alignment and continuous improvement. You will work closely with the Director of Strategy and Regulatory Affairs to coordinate across areas of work, identifying and helping to manage linkages and interdependencies.
You will also work closely with the Director's EA to track, review and reallocate budgets and play a key role in the preparation of briefings for the Director and potentially other members of the Executive, in particular for meetings on regulatory issues
We're looking for you to:
This role will be varied and demanding but will allow you to gain new skills and experience. You will support key discussions and decision-making on medium- and long-term strategic thinking, business-critical issues as well as regularly liaise with a range of senior stakeholders both inside and outside the business. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to gain a deeper understanding of the whole of Thames Water, to gain a real appreciation of our context, and to have a tangible impact on our success.
Our competitive salary package includes an excellent contributory pension, 26 days holiday per year increasing to 30 with the length of service, and a wider benefits scheme. We are proud of the positive ways of working we have adopted during the pandemic. We want to create a more flexible and dynamic environment so all our colleagues can thrive. For our office-based roles, we are moving to a hybrid approach where we will provide options around working from our offices, our operational sites, and home dependent on role/team/individual. This will be discussed during the assessment process.
Thames Water is a unique, rewarding, and diverse place to work. If you join our team, you will enjoy fast-tracked career opportunities, flexible working arrangements, and unparalleled benefits. We are also proud to be an equal opportunity employer, Stonewall Diversity Champion, and Disability Confident Leader and we are a Times Top 50 Employer for Women.
