Job description

About the role

This is an exciting opportunity for you to join our growing team as a Manager focussed on health analytics and modelling.

We work closely with a broad range of major NHS and other clients – developing and delivering a range of analytical and modelling solutions to NHS Providers, Commissioners, Systems, Regional and National teams.

Our work is varied and always evolving – from supporting high‑profile financial and performance turnaround projects to developing long‑term demand and capacity projections underpinning capital projects; from in‑depth patient‑level activity and clinical coding analysis to modelling population and system‑level scenarios and risks.

What your days will look like:

• You’ll work with a range of NHS and other clients leading the development and review of predictive and prescriptive analyses and models to support key financial strategy and operational decisions, and overseeing workstreams within larger engagements, ensuring quality and alignment.
• You’ll plan, manage and deliver a wide range of concurrent analytical and multidisciplinary assignments, collaborating with operational, financial, governance and clinical specialists from across the firm.
• You’ll need to be agile, readily adapting your experience to lead teams in new areas, embracing new tools including AI, navigating uncertainty and tight timelines to deliver pragmatic, robust analysis and well‑evidenced, valuable insights.
• You’ll interact closely with our clients, taking a prominent role understanding their strategic and day‑to‑day challenges, quickly building trust, planning workstreams and sharing progress, tackling difficult issues sensitively and bringing key findings to life for senior leaders.
• You’ll contribute to winning new work, helping to draft proposals, budgets and resource plans. You’ll be proactive in enhancing our existing propositions and will help identify and develop compelling new ways to solve our clients’ evolving challenges.
• You’ll be involved in the development of others, guiding and supporting through on‑the‑job coaching, acting as a career coach or mentor, and through developing and delivering technical and broader health sector training.

This role is for you if:

• You’re an experienced analyst working directly in the NHS or delivering NHS projects in consultancy, managing a team including their technical coaching and development.
• You have considerable experience working on varied projects across the analytical lifecycle – including problem scoping, sourcing and setting assumptions, data transformation, design and delivery of well‑documented analysis, and engaging communication of key findings and uncertainties – with limited senior supervision.
• You have a proven track record of using your significant experience of NHS activity, finance and performance datasets to underpin the development of insightful analyses, models and dashboards. These will have successfully supported NHS organisations to address a range of operational, financial, clinical and strategic challenges.
• You are adept at understanding, simplifying and resolving complex issues, working at pace to develop pragmatic analytical and modelling approaches, building confidence and rapport with senior stakeholders and successfully bridging differing views.
• You have strong core technical skills including experience handling large, complex data sets in Alteryx, VBA, SQL, Python or R, together with Business Intelligence visualisation (e.g. Tableau, Qlik or Power BI) and robust Excel skills.
• You’ve got excellent, engaging communication skills, experienced at communicating complex technical matters effectively to less technical audiences both in person and in writing.

What you’ll receive from us:

No matter where you may be in your career or personal life, our benefits are designed to add value and support, recognising and rewarding you fairly for your contributions.

We offer a range of benefits including empowered flexibility and a working week split between office, home and client site; private medical cover and 24/7 access to a qualified virtual GP; six volunteering days a year and much more.
