You will lead on the identification, investigation and resolution of data quality issues, reporting anomalies and process inefficiencies, undertaking root cause analysis and working with colleagues to implement effective and sustainable solutions. You will use data and insight to identify trends, risks and emerging issues, ensuring that these are clearly communicated and that appropriate actions are taken to mitigate potential impacts.

You will have excellent organisational and communication skills and be able to work collaboratively within a team, building positive relationships and contributing to an inclusive environment. You will be comfortable managing multiple priorities and presenting data and insights to a range of audiences. You will take a proactive approach to problem solving and continuous improvement, identifying opportunities to enhance reporting, strengthen data quality, automate processes and maximise the value of Power BI and other analytical tools across the team.
