This model is used internationally, and the impact is real.

They’re now looking for a Head of Data & Analytics to lead the charge on everything from data strategy to dashboards, helping the team and stakeholders make informed, insight-led decisions that improve lives.

? What you’ll be doing:

• Designing and delivering the organisation-wide data strategy
• Leading and developing a small but mighty data & analytics team
• Owning reporting, dashboarding, and data quality across the org
• Translating insight into action for leadership and external partners
• Managing the data budget and supporting wider strategic planning
• Overseeing governance and data protection processes

? Who we’re looking for:

• A strategic thinker who can get hands-on when needed
• An empathetic leader who builds and nurtures high-performing teams
• A confident communicator who’s comfortable with both technical and non-technical audiences
• Ideally, someone with experience in the public/third sector or purpose-led environments, but not a must

This is a brilliant role for someone who wants to combine data leadership with social impact and be part of a wider movement that’s helping transform lives.
