About the role
This is a short-term, project-focused opportunity for an experienced data and insight professional to provide specialist capacity and expertise. The postholder will review current systems and reporting approaches, identify practical improvements, and support the development of a phased data and insight roadmap aligned to Refuge's priorities.
The role is ideal for someone who enjoys discovery work, working with ambiguity, and advising organisations on how to move from fragmented reporting towards more connected, insight-led decision making.
About the role
- Review current reporting, insight and data management approaches across Refuge
- Map key systems, data flows and reporting processes

About you
You will have
- Significant experience working in data, insight, reporting or analytics roles
- Proven track record of reviewing and improving data and reporting landscapes
- Strong understanding of reporting tools and approaches (e.g. Power BI), with the ability to advise rather than necessarily build
- Good knowledge of data platforms, warehouses or similar technologies, and the ability to explain options in accessible terms
- Experience working in a consultancy, advisory or project-based capacity
- Confident engaging with stakeholders and building relationships across teams
- Comfortable working with complexity and ambiguity, bringing structure and clarity
