Head of Business Intelligence

7 days ago


Belfast, United Kingdom The National Lottery Community Fund Full time

At The National Lottery Community Fund we are committed to making a bigger difference in the years ahead.  That’s why being ‘impact-focussed’ is one of our core values.  We want to transform how we use data in our organisation so that we can: identify the communities that most need our funding, demonstrate the difference we make and take an equity-based approach.  Our 2030 strategy ‘It starts with community’ sets stretching goals and puts data and insight at the heart of what we do. 

We’re recruiting for a Head of Business Intelligence (BI) in our newly formed Evidence and Impact team.  In this role you will design and deliver a new reporting and analytics service that inspires communities, colleagues and policy makers.  You’ll set the future direction for the Community Fund’s data practice and establish a simple and easy to use reporting suite that achieves widescale reach and engagement. 

You’ll lead work across the organisation to help us to grow our data maturity, so that reporting and insight becomes an integral part of every role. You’ll inspire your team to make it as easy as possible for everyone connected to the Community Fund’s work to get the day-to-day insight they need to make decisions and deliver projects.

The partnerships you develop externally will be equally important, as you work with other lottery distributors to better use data to connect those that play The National Lottery with the positive difference it makes across the UK.    

Excellent leadership and people management skills will be required to excel in this role.  Your ability to inspire and engage a technical team to achieve high performance will be second to none.  You’ll also need to enjoy working across our organisation to help others to use data in pursuit of our 2030 ambitions and be a strong advocate for the role of automation and self-service. Every element of your day-to-day work will be guided by the needs of our users and your own strategic view of the data and BI architecture required to enable inspiring reporting and visualisation.  You will forge strong partnerships with a wide range of colleagues in the UK-wide Evidence and Impact function and play a key role in our leadership team as we strive for ‘One Fund’ ways of working.

The Evidence and Impact team is a UK-wide function, meaning this role can be based in any of our offices.  Some travel is expected to attend leadership meetings and connect with colleagues who are based in different locations of the country.

Interview Date: w/c 3rd February

Location: UK - We have a hybrid approach to working, work pattern and location will be agreed with the successful candidate. The role can be based at any of our UK offices, these are Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Exeter, Glasgow, Leeds, London, Newcastle and Newtown.
