We are an independent charitable organisation working to build a healthier UK. Health is our most precious asset. Good health enables us to live happy, fulfilling lives, fuels our prosperity, and helps build a stronger society.

- Supporting radical innovation and improvement in health and care services
- Providing evidence and analysis to improve health and care policy.
We aim for excellence across our work and will achieve this by producing research and analysis, shaping policy and practice, building skills, knowledge, and capacity, and acting as a catalyst for change. Everyone has a stake and a part to play in improving our health. By working together, we can build a healthier UK.
About the role
The Analysis Directorate is a team of around 50 analysts and data professionals at the heart of the Foundation’s mission. We use innovative analytical approaches to understand the health of the UK population and the performance of the health and care system. Our work informs policy, evaluates interventions, and supports improvement across the sector. We also empower analysts across the Foundation with access to high-quality data, tools, and platforms.
We are seeking a Data Delivery Lead to drive the implementation of our data strategy and lead the delivery of our data platforms and infrastructure.
