Exploit Development Lead
We’re looking for an Exploit Development Lead - someone who not only understands the technical detail of our water systems but can also use imagination and creative thinking to turn insights into compelling, evidence-based business cases.
If you can spot opportunity in data, envision smarter ways of working, and craft persuasive cases for investment in new technologies, this role offers a chance to make real impact across Water Services.
The Role
You will lead the development of business cases that support system optimisation, smart water solutions, and innovation initiatives. Working with teams across Water Services and the wider business to create a brighter future in water, you’ll shape proposals that are strategically aligned, financially robust, and deliver real value for our business, customers and the environment.
Your imaginative approach will help bring new ideas to life — translating technical findings into clear, engaging, and influential narratives.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop high-quality business cases for innovation and system improvement initiatives.
* Use creativity and technical insight to frame problems, explore options, and articulate value.
* Collaborate with stakeholders to support adoption and delivery of smart water solutions.
* Create templates, case studies, and guidance to strengthen our exploitation approach.
* Continuously refine business case methods and share best practice.
Qualifications
* Degree-level education or equivalent technical experience.
* A genuine passion for driving positive change.
* Strong technical understanding of operational or water systems.
* Creative thinker with the ability to transform data and ideas into persuasive business cases.
* Strong analytical, communication (including written), and presentation skills.
* Experience in financial modelling, risk assessment, or governance.
