About This role:
Are you excited by the challenge of turning complex data into smarter investment decisions that help deliver warmer homes and measurable progress towards net zero?
At MTVH, we are working to decarbonise our housing portfolio and deliver warmer, more energy-efficient homes for residents. We are looking for an Energy & Carbon Performance Manager to lead our energy data management, analysis and modelling capability – combining technical understanding with curiosity, sound judgement and a drive to improve how data is used.
Reporting to the Head of Decarbonisation, you will shape the evidence behind major decarbonisation investment decisions. You will strengthen data quality and governance, develop clear performance insight, and use modelling, visualisation and responsible tools to make analysis faster, more consistent and more useful. Your work will help us understand our housing stock, identify priorities and demonstrate the impact of our decarbonisation programmes.
This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys solving data challenges, influencing across teams and translating technical finding into clear recommendations. You may come from housing, energy, sustainability, engineering, information management, data analytics or another relevant area. What matters most is your ability to apply strong data capability to real-world challenges and outcomes for residents.
Key Responsibilities:
* Proactively lead the end-to-end energy data management function, with clear standards, controls and ownership for data quality, integrity and change.
* Oversee energy efficiency and stock modelling, ensuring systems and methods are integrated, streamlined, relevant and fit for purpose.
* Analyse large and complex datasets to identify trends, gaps, risks and investment opportunities across our housing stock.
* Build robust performance measures, monitor outcomes and provide clear insight on progress, benefits realisation and areas requiring actions.
* Communicate complex technical and performance information clearly to senior leaders, colleagues, contractors and other stakeholders.
* Lead, support and develop colleagues, and promote a collaborative, evidence-led and continuously improving culture.
* Proven ability to identify and resolve issues arising during data collection, ETL workflows and sustainability reporting cycles. A proactive, solution focused approach to improving data quality and reporting traceability.
* Attention to detail, proven organisational skills and ability to manage multiple workstreams, prioritise tasks, manage competing deadlines and work independently and as part of a project team.
* Motivated to develop new skills and share knowledge with colleagues to uplift data quality across the organisation.
What you'll need to succeed:
We are looking for someone who can combine strong data expertise with practical problem-solving and clear communication. You will bring:
* Passion for environmental impact, with the ability to confidently analyse and manage data.
* Experience of managing, assuring and improving complex or large datasets, including data validation, controls, documentation and governance.
* Strong analytical capability, with experience of data analysis, data modelling and data visualisation to support decisions and communicate insight.
* Confidence using a range of analytical tools. This may include advanced Excel, Power BI or similar visualisation platforms, databases/ query tools, scripting or statistical tools, automation, and generative AI or machine-learning-enabled tools.
* An ability to translate complex technical findings into concise, compelling recommendations for both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
* A strategic and inquisitive mindset, with the ability to challenge assumptions, identify practical solutions and continuously improve systems and processes.
* A relevant degree or equivalent experience in information management, data science, computer science, engineering, energy, sustainability or a related discipline.
* Excellent relationship-building, facilitation and communication skills, with the ability to work independently and influence across organisational boundaries.
* Knowledge of asset data, domestic energy efficiency, EPC/SAP or energy modelling would be valuable; however, we also welcome candidates with strong transferable data capability and the ability to learn the technical context quickly.
Not sure you meet every requirement?
We value transferable skills and different perspectives. If you can demonstrate strong data capability, sound judgement and a clear motivation to apply your skills to decarbonisation and better resident outcomes, we encourage you to apply.
Most importantly, you will recognise that decarbonisation is about people. Residents and customers are at the heart of our work, and your analysis must lead to decisions that are credible, fair and focused on better outcomes.
