Role Overview

As the Performance Manager, you will play a strategic role at the heart of the organisation, responsible for establishing a 'golden thread' linking strategy, policy, operational delivery, and outcomes. This is a role where you will work closely with Governance, Policy and Data teams, as well as providing great exposure to the Senior Leadership Teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Implementation: Lead the creation and ongoing management of the corporate performance framework, ensuring every KPI and report tells a clear, actionable story aligned with organisational priorities.
• Strategic Coordination: Act as the bridge between Data & BI, Insight, and various teams, ensuring data and assurance work in harmony.
