About us
Christian Aid exists to create a world where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. We are a global movement of people, churches and local organisations who passionately champion dignity, equality and justice worldwide. We are the changemakers, the peacemakers, the mighty of heart.
We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, and recognise the value this brings in forming strong, creative and high performing teams. We welcome applications from all sections of the community, and from those with experience from outside of the voluntary sector. And no, you don’t have to be Christian to work here – we encourage people of all faiths and none to apply. We just ask that everyone lives out our values of dignity, equality, justice and love.
About the role
Join Christian Aid and use your passion for data to make a real impact in the world!
We are looking for an experienced data analyst to help us make the best possible use of our supporter data, to continue to grow income and engagement. At its heart, this role is about uncovering the trends, patterns and stories behind the numbers, and providing clear, engaging reports and dashboards: generating real understanding to drive strategic direction. The role is based in our newly formed Insight, Research, Innovation and Supporter Data team, bringing together professionals across these functions to drive impactful strategies and innovation. It is a job-share post, working with another part-time analyst.
About you
As well as being a whiz with numbers, analytical tools and coding (including SQL), you must be a good collaborator who can work well with stakeholders and other analysts across different fields to bring together the ‘big picture’ and add value.
You must have experience working with CRM systems and developing and interrogating PowerBI reports and dashboards for different contexts.
You need to be objective and clear-headed in a complex data environment; you figure out and focus on what really matters, going beyond headline reporting to uncover deeper insights and choosing the most effective methods to report on those insights to a range of audiences.
You are inquisitive and curious, keeping an eye on improvements and innovations, and being proactive in making the right changes happen. You are data and evidence-centric, with an appreciation of how quantitative and qualitative methods work alongside each other. Ideally, you also have experience working in fundraising, supporter engagement, or customer experience.

Further information
At Christian Aid we strive to be an inclusive and diverse employer and recognise the value that this brings in helping to build strong, creative and high performing teams.
We are actively encouraging racialised minorities, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, returning parents or carers who are re-entering work after a career break, people with caring responsibilities, people from low socioeconomic backgrounds, women, and older workers to apply. This is because these groups are under-represented within our teams, especially at senior level, and we recognise and value the contributions members of these groups make to strong, creative and high performing teams.
We have a strong Christian ethos and we encourage applications from all faiths. Applicants will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of and sympathy with Christian Aid’s faith identity.
All successful candidates will require a DBS/police check appropriate to the role and location and a Counter Terrorism Sanction check as part of your clearance for commencing your role with us. We also participate in the Inter Agency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme.

By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms their understanding of these recruitment procedures.
This role requires applicants to have the right to live and work in the country where this position is based and undertake the role that you have been offered. If you are successful and we make you an offer for the role, we will be required to conduct a right to work check on your immigration status in the UK. We will contact you regarding the documentation you will need to provide to evidence this.
