About Us
Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.
About the role
As Senior Data Analyst, you will be at the forefront of transforming how data and analytics shape our fundraising, marketing and campaigning strategies.
Working in an environment of agile, multi-disciplinary teams, you'll be a great collaborator, building strong relationships in a fast-moving and dynamic environment.

About you
To be successful, it is important that you have:
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence non-technical stakeholders.
- Proven experience applying advanced analytical techniques in marketing, including segmentation (e.g. cluster analysis), behaviour prediction (e.g. propensity modelling), churn analysis, A/B testing, and data visualisation.
- Strong skills in R (R Studio) or Python for statistical analysis in a commercial context.
