Save the Children UK is looking for a Senior Data Analyst to join our high-performing Analysis team in the Fundraising & Marketing division. You'll play a key role in delivering insight-led, supporter-focused solutions that drive income, engagement, and impact for children.
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. Leveraging agile principles, you'll flex and adapt - learning rapidly and responding to change, while keeping our supporters at the heart of everything you do.
This role is ideal for someone who combines technical excellence with a strong strategic mindset and the ability to translate complex analysis into actionable business change.
In this role, you will:
- Lead cross-cutting strategic analysis projects across marketing, fundraising and campaigning teams.
- Act as a key strategic partner, turning analysis into recommendations that improve supporter engagement and income generation.
- Identify and implement innovative, predictive analytics solutions to our biggest business challenges.
- Lead the use of advanced algorithms and tools to improve efficiency and decision-making across the division.
- Foster a culture of data-driven decision-making through self-service tools, training, and storytelling.
- Act as product owner for our suite of analytics tools, leading the development roadmap and collaborating with suppliers.
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.
- Experience with data analytics tools and platforms such as Azure Synapse Analytics, Databricks, Salesforce, Microsoft Power BI, and website analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics) is desirable.
- Experience working with large datasets, including extracting and preparing data using SQL and a strong understanding of relational databases.
- Passion for applying data to drive positive social impact.
- Commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission and values.
What we offer you:
Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.
- We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.
- We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day. You can read more about our benefits here.
To learn more about the position, please review the Job Description on our website.
Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received. This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.
Ways of Working:
The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but there are likely to be times when you will be required to come to your contracted office in London (up to 2-4 days per month or 6-8 days per quarter). This will be agreed with your Line Manager and team and is intended to be time spent alongside the analysis team for collaboration and innovation activities, and for divisional in-person days. The Analysis team currently works in 3-week planning sprints with two virtual team stand ups a week.
Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense.
Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.
Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:
Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
