The Head of Finance - Strategy and Regulation, is responsible for the accountabilities listed below at the BU organisation level and is therefore a key point of contact for the MD, FD, and Commercial Director, advising them on the financial/Regulatory impact of key decisions. This role may also be required to deputise for the FD at appropriate forums.
Reporting directly into the Director of Finance Distribution, the Head of Finance and Regulation is a role focussed on Regulatory Reporting, Price control work, strategic business planning, business analysis and insight and budgeting and forecasting activities. This role will work closely with the Head of Commercial and Operations supporting the Distribution business with performance improvement initiatives.

- Lead a team of Senior Finance managers, analysts, and regulatory specialists through the complex process of price control completion and the annual Regulatory Reporting pack completion to our regulator, Ofgem. This involves working with, and where applicable informally leading staff within the Distribution business who do not have the requisite Regulatory Knowledge, to report activity, costs and outcomes to the best advantage of SSEN.
- Work with business management teams to identify and implement initiatives and opportunities e.g. how best to represent our cost base from a regulatory perspective, areas of major divergence from other Distribution companies, to allow cost reduction, and asset level performance improvement.
- Represent SSEN at Regulator meetings such as Cost Assessment Working Groups, Business Plan Data groups, driving the agenda and ensuring SSEN is well represented and well briefed internally.
- Ensure business alignment on strategic planning activities from a finance perspective, for example by working with the Finance team on 5-year modelling, providing financial analysis and challenge in 5-year planning sessions with the business.
