Job Description:

We’re recruiting for a Senior Data and Business Analyst here at Justice Digital, to be part of our warm and collaborative Workforce Data Service team. This role aligns against Senior Data Analyst from the Government Digital and Data Framework.

This is an exciting opportunity to use both your data analysis and business analysis expertise to support maintaining and continuously improving one view of truth for capability data and providing actionable insights to support data-led decision-making across Justice Digital.

You will report to the Head of People Operations and Workforce Data Service team, which comprises two sub-teams:

1. The Workforce Data Service (WFDS) team, which is responsible for providing a Service through which workforce and capability data is maintained and reported on.
2. The People Operations team, which is newly-formed and is responsible for operational people-related activities such as the Performance Management Review process, exit interviews and Location Strategy related activities.

A collaborative, flexible and can-do team player is essential in this role, along with somebody who feels comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with competing priorities. You will be rewarded with a team that will welcome your experience and ideas and support you to develop.

With your genuine passion for data analysis, you will be the principal data analysis contact within the team, responding to workforce data commissions, and providing dashboards, reports and analysis to transform data into actionable insights and solutions. You will define and implement quality control and assurance, identify opportunities for data innovation, and will lead on its implementation and adoption.

You will be responsible for maintaining and continuously improving our one view of truth for workforce data, analysing and presenting data to inform strategic workforce planning to support building digital and technology capability. You will join data from multiple sources using the appropriate scripting and tools to extract, transform and load data into our one view of truth.

You will be a key participant and contributor to Agile ceremonies, including daily standups, weekly sprint planning, monthly retrospectives and workshops.

You will engage with users and stakeholders regularly, capturing their needs, understanding and mapping business processes, and making recommendations and changes to improve them where possible. A key stakeholder group is our Data Guardian community which is responsible for maintaining a large proportion of our workforce data. You will ensure they remain supported and engaged through communication channels and regular meetings, informing them of changes to data products, processes, and new releases, and basing continual improvement on user feedback.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Data analysis and visualisation:
   • Work with users and stakeholders to identify, document and analyse the existing landscape and future data needs, translating them into data analysis and reporting requirements.
   • Create and own your Jira tickets to support sprints and backlogs.
   • Identify, collect and migrate data to and from a range of systems, managing and cleaning data.
   • Summarise and present analysis and insight in the most appropriate and compelling format for users.
   • Create and maintain dashboards and reports using PowerBI and Orgvue.
   • Identify and put in place data validation, and maintain and continually improve workforce data.
   • Maintain and develop Orgvue’s architecture, scripts, properties, and datasets.
   • Support communication of the service, sharing information with community colleagues and others.
   • Deliver against operational and strategic plans, ensuring proposed solutions align with business goals and objectives and achieve the required outcomes and expected benefits.
   • Identify opportunities to improve business data, and support implementation.
2. Business analysis:
   • Engage with users to identify user needs and define KPIs.
   • Translate business needs into specifications for data solutions.
   • Understand existing business processes, identify gaps, and recommend and implement improvements to support improved data.
   • Document and maintain data-related business processes and flows.
