The role is also responsible for delivering a strategic research and insight plan for the organisation to inform operational and strategic decisions, including feeding into our strategy mid-term review. Others in the organisations will also carry out research and hence this function has a role in setting standards for quality research, a coordinating role in ensuring a cross-organisational understanding of ongoing research to avoid duplication, and to draw insights and disseminate these to relevant internal and external audiences.

- Lead development and implementation of a communications plan to ensure insight generated reaches the right internal and external audiences.
- Ensure a framework to monitor and evaluate the usefulness and impact of insight generated is in place.
- Ensure all research carried out by the function meets GDPR requirements.
- Line-manage and develop your line-report(s).
- Be ‘hands on’ as necessary, by leading and delivering research personally.
What will make you great in this role?
The insight capability is a new function in the organisation and as a result this role will lead on its development over time. This presents great opportunities and will require an individual who is comfortable with starting things anew, while delivering on insight requirements and shaping the function along the way.
Your experience
