If you join CMS, you will find an organisation that has been reinvigorated with a fresh vision to make disciples of Jesus among people at the edges, both in the UK and around the world.

What you’ll need to succeed

We are looking for a seasoned and skilled fundraiser who has been successfully working in a trust and major donor environment or equivalent customer facing role (sales / account management), with evidence of retaining and growing an existing caseload of supporters to secure new and significant income to support the charity’s work. You will have solid experience of effectively working across multiple teams and collaborating with others. You will possess the excellent written skills needed to craft successful applications to trusts and major donors, and have a keen eye on the detail. Additionally, excellent database and administrative knowledge are essential.

It is a requirement for this post holder to be a committed and practising Christian as well as committed to CMS’s values and aims.

Charity People is delighted to be partnering with Refuge to recruit for their next Data Solutions & Insight Analyst.

About the charity

Refuge is the largest provider of specialist domestic abuse services in the UK. They support thousands of women and children each year and are committed to creating lasting change through high-quality services, strong advocacy and evidence-led decision making.

Refuge is currently at an exciting point of development, strengthening how data, reporting and insight support both operational delivery and long-term strategy. This temporary role will play a key part in helping the organisation understand its current data landscape and shape a clear, proportionate roadmap for the future.

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
• Identify duplication, inefficiencies and reliance on manual processes
• Assess how data currently supports operational and strategic decision making
• Advise on practical, proportionate approaches to connected reporting and future data platform development (e.g. data warehouse or data lake options)
• Identify opportunities to simplify reporting and improve consistency across teams
• Support a shift towards more insight-led, decision-focused reporting
• Contribute to the development of a phased data and insight roadmap
• Help prioritise short, medium and long-term actions, including risks, dependencies and resource considerations
• Produce clear recommendations and supporting documentation for leadership discussions

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
• Ability to translate technical concepts into practical, proportionate recommendations
• Experience in the charity or public sector is desirable but not essential

Why apply?

This is a rare opportunity to step into a genuinely influential short-term role, helping Refuge lay the foundations for stronger, more connected organisational insight at a pivotal moment of change.

How to Apply

Please submit CV for this role by Friday 29th May 9:00.

There will be a one-round online interview stage on Thursday 4th June.

We are looking for people who are available immediately.

Charity People is a forward thinking, inclusive organisation that actively and deliberately promotes equity, diversity and inclusion. We know organisations thrive when inclusion is at the forefront.

We do this because we believe that greater diversity leads to greater results for the charities we work with.
