- An extensive track record of effective design and delivery of data solutions and statistical publications.
- Demonstrable experience of collecting, analysing and interpreting large data sets using computational statistical software tools such as R and/or Python.
- Experience in data privacy and data governance.
- You’ll be excited to innovate, develop new approaches and engage in analytical challenges.
- We need a strong communicator - with confidence to communicate clearly at all levels of seniority, including making technical work accessible to non-expert audiences.
- You’ll be great at building relationships internally and externally.
