• Create practical guidelines and clear rules for using the framework and associated survey questions

Building Our Analytics Infrastructure

• Take ownership of our Microsoft Azure Data Warehouse and Power BI environment, and drive meaningful adoption across the organisation

• Build and mature our data pipelines so that all key data sits in one place and is reliable, consistent, and usable

• Oversee the development of scalable data models, reporting structures and analytics processes that provide clear actions

• Deliver high-quality, actionable dashboards, KPIs, and reporting frameworks that support decision-making at every level

• Work with external data engineering consultancies where appropriate to accelerate delivery

Setting Us Up for Long-Term Success

• Establish the data and analytics foundations that will support CALM's growth and scale 

• Create sustainable processes, documentation and ways of working that ensure capability and knowledge remain embedded beyond the life of the role

• Develop a practical forward-looking plan for data and analytics at CALM

• Champion data literacy across the organisation, building confidence and capability in the teams around you

Leading & Collaborating

• Lead and manage our Data Analyst, who will report directly into this role.

• Work closely and collaboratively with our Senior Insight Manager to ensure strong alignment between our Insight and Analytics functions

• Engage confidently with senior stakeholders including the CEO, COO and Senior Leadership

Experience

Essential

• Proven experience in a senior data or analytics role, with hands-on delivery experience

• Good understanding of data warehousing, data modelling and analytics best practices

• Strong technical skills across data modelling, SQL, Power BI and modern data platforms

• Experience working with cloud-based data platforms (ideally Microsoft Azure)

• Practical experience building and maturing analytics capabilities in a growing organisation

• Experience developing reporting frameworks, KPIs and performance measurement approaches

• Knowledge of web analytics tools such as GA4 and CRMs e.g. Salesforce

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• A highly organised and structured approach, with strong attention to documentation and process design

• A collaborative working style and the ability to build strong relationships across a small, mission-driven team

• Experience managing and mentoring junior analysts

• A hands-on, pragmatic mindset with the ability to prioritise effectively and focus on impact

• Previous data engineering experience

• Management of AI/ML workflows and predictive analytics projects

About us:

We're the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) - a suicide prevention charity fighting to reduce the devastating impact of suicide in the UK.

We run a life-saving helpline for anyone affected by suicide or suicidal thoughts, and our website has loads of tools and resources packed with practical advice.

We also run vital campaigns to increase awareness, smash stereotypes, and change the culture around mental health and suicide.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people, and adults at risk, both offline and online. We recognise that harm can occur in physical, digital, and virtual environments, and we take our safeguarding responsibilities seriously across all areas of our work.

This is an exciting new opportunity to shape the future of technology and digital capability across five South West charities. We are seeking an exceptional Regional Chief Technology Officer who is motivated by both challenge and purpose; someone who can harness technology to make a tangible difference to how our faith-based charities support church communities.

Working across Bath & Wells, Bristol, Exeter, Salisbury and Truro, this role offers a rare platform to influence at scale. The successful candidate will lead a region-wide programme of digital transformation and process optimisation, helping modernise systems, strengthen cyber resilience and unlock efficiencies that release resources for mission and ministry.

This is not technology for its own sake. We are looking for someone who combines strategic insight with practical delivery; a leader who can translate complex technical possibilities into real-world improvements for staff, clergy and volunteers. You will play a key role in shaping the responsible adoption of emerging technologies, including AI, while ensuring strong governance, security and compliance.

Process Mapping & Optimisation:

• Lead a comprehensive, collaborative review of key administrative and operational processes within the Diocesan Boards of Finance (DBFs) and in parishes where appropriate.
• Use process mapping techniques to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement, and then design and implement optimised workflows.

AI & Responsible Innovation:

• Actively research, evaluate, pilot, and implement appropriate AI and automation tools to enhance efficiency, support fundraising, and improve service delivery.
• Ensure all innovation is undertaken responsibly, ethically, and with a clear focus on tangible benefits.

Stakeholder Management & Engagement:

• Build and maintain strong, collaborative relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders across all five dioceses, including clergy, staff, and volunteers.
• Foster a culture of digital literacy and champion the benefits of change in a clear, accessible, and empathetic manner.

Project & Change Management:

• Oversee the full lifecycle of technology and process improvement projects, from initial conception and business case development through to delivery, user training, and final handover.
• Employ robust project management methodologies to ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget.

Qualifications, Training & Experience:

• Proven and extensive senior technology leadership experience (e.g., CTO, Head of IT, Director of Digital Transformation) with clear evidence of strategic impact.
• Relevant degree (or equivalent) in a technology-related discipline, with appropriate professional certifications in technology, architecture, project or change management, and membership of a relevant professional body.
• Strong track record in business process mapping, analysis and re-engineering delivering measurable efficiency gains.
• Practical experience evaluating, procuring and implementing modern technology solutions, including cloud platforms (e.g., Microsoft 365), CRM systems and data analytics tools.
• Experience in the charity, non-profit or similarly complex, values-driven sector is highly desirable. Demonstrable experience of, or well-informed and practical interest in, the responsible and ethical application of AI and automation in an organisational context.
• Significant experience in technology strategy, budget management, vendor negotiation and delivery of complex, multi-stakeholder programmes.

Competencies & Behavioural requirements:

• Exceptional communicator and translator: Able to convey complex technical concepts in clear, accessible language and influence a wide range of non-technical stakeholders with confidence.
• Strategic yet pragmatic thinker: Sees the big picture and aligns technology with organisational priorities, while remaining hands-on and focused on practical, value adding solutions.
• Collaborative and emotionally intelligent leader: Builds trust and consensus across diverse stakeholders and cultures, leading change with empathy, credibility and sensitivity.
• Resilient and delivery-focused: Proactive and self-motivated, with the drive and discipline to deliver complex, multi-year programmes and achieve measurable outcomes.
• Culturally astute and values-aware: Demonstrates understanding of, and respect for, the Church of England’s context, governance and ethos, navigating the environment with diplomacy and good judgement.

A world free from sexual violence, where survivors are believed, respected and supported.
 

Our mission:
To provide high‑quality, specialist support and to challenge the structures that enable sexual violence.
 

What You Will Do

• Map and document end-to-end processes across all four frontline support services (e.g., intake, risk assessment, case management, referrals, crisis response)
• Develop trauma-informed, survivor-centred SOPs that prioritise safety, dignity, and confidentiality
• Collaborate with frontline practitioners to capture real-world workflows and best practices
• Ensure SOPs align with safeguarding policies, legal requirements, and ethical standards (e.g., data protection, confidentiality, consent)
• Standardise documentation formats, language, and terminology across programmes
• Identify gaps, risks, and inconsistencies in current processes and recommend improvements
• Support the integration of feminist principles into operational procedures
