• As required, undertake financial, operational and data analysis to support internal decisions.
• Analyse data sources, business rules and reporting outputs to identify impacts of system or process change.

• Take a hands-on, delivery-oriented approach to problem solving, moving fluidly between strategy, process, systems, regulation and commercial analysis as needed to help the program maintain momentum and resolve issues.
• Escalate risks, blockers and unresolved decisions early, with clear framing of impacts, options and recommended paths forward.

• Internal: Energy Solutions leadership, IT/Digital, Finance, Legal, HSSE, retail operations and other shared service teams involved in the carve-out.
