- Lead the analysis, reporting and business intelligence function, within the Data and Insight Team.
- Develop and maintain data assets that support key decisions.
- Forge and maintain strong working relationships with key leads across the Organisation, particularly within the Fundraising, Marketing and Communications Directorate.
- Partner with stakeholders to gather requirements, design solutions and deliver insight projects to agreed timescales.
- Interpret, summarise and communicate key insights and recommendations to stakeholders, and work with teams to drive change.
- Work with the Head of Data, Insight and Supporter Services to shape our future vision and strategy for insight and BI.
- Champion the use of data and evidence in organisational decision making.
- Work collaboratively and flexibly with the wider Data and Insight Team, to deliver a range of data services.
- Keep up to date with innovations in technology related to Insight and analysis (such as AI) and understand how this could help us with our work.
- Support the management of the tools and systems we use for data and insight activities, including our SQL-server based data warehousing solution, ETL processes and our conceptual data model.
Skills, Abilities and Competencies:
Essential
- Experience in developing and delivering data analysis and insight projects.
- Experienced working with stakeholders to scope and define briefs, that promote efficiency and maximise impact.
- A good communicator, who can convey technical information to a non-technical audience and is comfortable presenting information to range of audiences.
