Hours: Full time
Contract: Permanent

Introduction
We're in curious times for which we need people with curiosity, who like to dig a bit deeper, have a strong focus to shape a better world and with a side hustle of needing to do something different with their work time. Maybe you've felt you want to make the right contribution to the world in some way? If this is you, and you love data, or what it can tell us about the everyday decisions we make to help nature, then your curiosity is needed at RSPB in a delivery focused team with a strategic appetite to create richer business intelligence resources for the whole organisation.

About the Role
Make no mistake, this is a management role with immense professional opportunity and a place in which you can make a profound difference to our conservation aims. Your role will be in the Digital Business Data team supporting our wider digital and technical agenda with our Fundraising and Communications directorate. We invite you to join the largest technical team in conservation. You'll bring together the requirements of many different users ranging from field and operational teams and understand how to best implement Business Intelligence to support them. You'll facilitate across our technical, fundraising, communications and conservation and volunteer teams to deliver solutions that give us insight about all our interactions. You'll have the leadership and vision to define how Business Intelligence develops as well as oversee and assure functional delivery. You'll unify and find the best value out of what Business Intelligence offers. You'll champion how data could be interrogated for greater insight to include wider functions across RSPB, including finance, HR and communications. There'll be plenty of exciting and rewarding challenges along the way. It's definitely no small task but one huge career opportunity.

About Us
RSPB Headquarters is based at The Lodge in Sandy, Bedfordshire. Passionate about nature, dedicated to saving it. Since we started on our mission in 1889, the threats to nature have continued to grow, but we've grown to meet them too. We're now the largest nature conservation charity in the country, consistently delivering successful conservation, forging powerful new partnerships with other organisations and inspiring others to stand up and give nature the home it deserves.

About You
You'll be an inspiration to the team; creative, bright and on the ball, focused on getting things done. You'll strengthen us but also challenge us and to think imaginatively about our purpose. You'll have ambition.

You need to communicate a vision, bring focus and lead with energy and creativity. Because we are a charity, every penny we spend needs to maximise the outcome for nature.

You will drive and direct change across a wide remit. The skills you have and the qualities you bring are more important to us than the list of who you've worked for.

You'll come to us armed with proven management and unique technical skills. You need to be engaged with people, projects and finance; to know when to collaborate, when to take ownership. You'll need a good working knowledge of data sciences, demonstrable use of BI platforms and solutions and broadly have at least a year of implementing and developing BI products. You'll know how to configure and develop PowerBI, cubes, SASS, Statistical models or have worked in an analytics service. You'll embed training and support processes, which deliver consistent intelligence. Experience in a charity or fundraising organisation is valuable as is experience in the public sector where insights supported service delivery.

Everything you do will be in harmony with our values and ambitions, putting wildlife conservation at the core of our work and in the minds of our supporter

Next Steps
We will be reviewing applications week commencing 12th Oct 2020, and if you are shortlisted, we'll invite you for a remote interview and presentation week commencing 19th Oct 2020.

Closing date: 12 October 2020
