Job description

About the role

The way we use data is changing. We are making a significant, multi-year investment in our digital platforms to ensure that our systems and digital architecture enable us to deliver our ambitious Corporate Plan and Digital Strategy. As part of this process, we will be undertaking a significant programme of data migration from legacy to new cloud-based systems and developing a new data warehouse amongst a range of other changes to the way we use data. The role is key to ensuring that we build accurate and user friendly reports and dashboards, bringing data from a number of different systems to provide timely KPIs and insight.

Role Summary

This role is key to delivering Cobalt\'s Business Intelligence (BI) reporting framework, ensuring data is reported on time, accurately and clearly to provide operational and strategic insight and predictive analysis for all business areas, as well as for a range of projects. The post holder will deliver reporting and analysis requirements for all business areas, alongside the data management requirements for a range of projects. The post holder will identify requirements, detect data problems and help deliver improvements and insights using the Microsoft suite of tools. The post holder will be responsible for converting data from multiple sources into usable information, providing analytics, insights and reporting which will drive decision making and challenge assumptions. In addition, the role is responsible for supporting the completion, co-ordination and submission of non-financial Regulatory Returns for Cobalt Housing.

The role will require the post-holder to communicate between technical and non-technical functions within the organisation and innovate in the ways that value is derived from data and optimise data design to support business opportunities.
