What You'll Be Doing:

This isn't just about reporting; it’s about influence. You will bridge the gap between raw field data and executive-level decision-making.

• Data Strategy: Contribute to the development of data strategy and utilise data to solve business challenges and drive continuous improvements. 
• Data Modelling : Develop and apply data models to assess performance, measure return on investment (ROI), forecast outcomes, and support strategic decision-making. 
• Actionable Insights: Analyse field and business data to identify trends, uncover opportunities, and provide clear, commercially focused recommendations that deliver value to clients. 
• Visual Storytelling: Design and maintain engaging, customer-focused dashboards and reporting solutions using tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or Pyramid, transforming complex data into compelling business narratives.
• Data Management & Integrity: Ensure data quality, consistency, and governance standards are maintained, while working with data structures, models, and pipelines to support reliable reporting and analytics.
• Project Leadership: Lead or contribute to data and insight initiatives from requirements gathering and solution design through to implementation, adoption, and business impact measurement.
• People Leadership & Development: Lead, coach, and develop a team fostering a high-performance culture, building capability, and ensuring the team delivers high-quality outputs aligned to business priorities.

What We’re Looking For: 

• Proven ability to move beyond operational reporting by leveraging data to support business strategy, drive performance improvements, and influence decision-making. 

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with senior leaders, customers, and operational teams to translate business needs into data solutions. 

• Advanced Excel skills and a good understanding of data structures, data integration processes, and reporting environments.

• Exposure to cloud-based data platforms (e.g., Azure) and familiarity with data pipelines and data architecture concepts would be advantageous.

• Demonstrated ability to translate complex datasets into clear, actionable insights and recommendations for both technical and non-technical audiences. Experience using data visualisation tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or Pyramid to create meaningful and engaging dashboards.

• People leadership and team management.

• Experience contributing to or leading data and insight projects.
