Building a data, analytics & insight function from inception

National Grid operates complex energy infrastructure where data and insight play a critical role in commercial, operational and strategic decision-making. MSA partnered with National Grid on a six month retained recruitment engagement to build a new data, analytics and insight function from the ground up.

What MSA did

Eight hires, and a team built from the top down.

MSA delivered eight hires, building the team from the top down. The new function was established to turn complex operational and commercial data into actionable insight, supporting areas including performance reporting, forecasting, commercial KPIs and strategic decision-making.

We managed the full 360° recruitment process, from defining requirements and specialist search through to candidate delivery, assessment design, selection and onboarding.

The engagement drew on MSA’s specialist network and experience across data, analytics and commercial insight recruitment.

Outcome

A complete analytics team, built from the top down.
