Finance Business Partner

At National Grid, we keep people connected and society moving. But it’s so much more than that. National Grid provides the environment for our teams to thrive and make a real impact. As we drive momentum in the energy transition for all, we are committed to ensuring that every employee feels empowered and engaged. So, join us as a Finance Business Partner and find your superpower.

National Grid sits at the centre of delivering the UK’s transition to Net Zero, and strong regulation is critical to making this happen.

As a Finance Business Partner in our Revenue & Regulation team, you’ll play a key role in shaping and delivering our regulatory strategy. You’ll lead financial submissions to Ofgem, working with a wide range of stakeholders to set future allowed revenues and support delivery against our business plan.

You’ll also provide insight into how reported performance aligns with regulatory measures, partnering closely with Group Financial Control and the wider business to deliver accurate forecasts and high-quality regulatory advice that drives value.

This is a unique opportunity to gain a deep understanding of how National Grid operates—how we create value, generate returns, and balance this with the impact on consumer energy bills in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment. You’ll quickly build expertise in regulatory finance, becoming a trusted advisor across both Finance and the wider business.

This role is based out of our Warwick office; this role offers hybrid working (typically two days in the office). We’re also happy to discuss any additional flexibility to help you succeed in the role.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead the annual revenue forecast submission to Ofgem via the Price Control Financial Model, optimising our revenue whilst ensuring compliance with reporting guidelines, and managing financial risk in partnership with Finance and the wider business. 
• Partner with Group Financial Control to reconcile Ofgem revenue positions against reported Underlying Revenue, highlighting key sensitivities and assumptions. 
• Project manage the Regulatory Financial Performance Reporting (RFPR) process, coordinating with numerous business stakeholders to optimise performance outcomes. 
• Engage with Ofgem to ensure financial elements of the price control are correctly applied, supporting responses to relevant consultations. 
• Act as a centre of excellence Regulatory Finance , delivering clear, insightful advice to Finance and non-specialists. 
• Build and embed an understanding of RIIO and regulatory requirements to support informed, value-adding decisions. 
• Manage and develop one direct report while contributing to a high-performing team and driving continuous improvement. 
• Identify and deliver efficiency improvements, including the use of AI tools.

What You'll Have:

• Fully qualified accountant (CFA, CIMA, ACA or ACCA) with strong financial reporting expertise (data and narrative). 
• Ability to turn complex financial data into clear, actionable insight for both technical and non-technical audiences. 
• Strong commercial acumen, with confidence to challenge, influence and support decision making.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the credibility to operate at senior levels.
• Experience working with large, complex datasets to drive insight-led decisions. 
• Strong financial modelling and investment appraisal capability. 
• Regulatory knowledge or experience (desirable, not essential).
