Reporting to the Group Head of Compliance, the role acts as the primary interface between Group Compliance and UK leadership, providing independent oversight, challenge and guidance on compliance matters and supporting the effective identification, assessment and management of compliance risks. The role leads the UK business compliance team and serves as a key member of the wider Group Compliance leadership structure, working closely with Legal, Risk, Internal Audit and business leaders to strengthen compliance performance, promote ethical decision-making and ensure compliance considerations are effectively integrated into business strategy, operations and transformation activities.
You’ll lead and develop the UK business compliance team and play an important role in the wider Group Compliance leadership structure.

Experience interacting with relevant UK regulators such as Ofgem, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), and Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) would be particularly valuable.
A professional compliance qualification, such as ICA, SCCE or equivalent, would be desirable but is not essential.
At National Grid, we’re at the heart of a major change in how energy is produced, delivered and used. We connect millions of people to the energy they need across Great Britain and the US, while investing to support a cleaner, more reliable system for the future.
Joining us means working on challenges that matter. You’ll help shape how the energy system evolves, supporting the transition to net zero while helping keep energy affordable and reliable.
