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 insight 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 impact at the heart of what we do.
We're recruiting for a Head of Strategic Analysis in our newly formed Evidence and Impact team. You will help us build stronger insight into the challenges faced by communities across the UK and the case for action in each of our four mission areas. You will connect this evidence about the external environment in which we operate and the future trends for society and the economy to our ongoing performance monitoring and KPIs. You will lead your team's work to communicate evidence in a compelling and engaging way to a wide range of audiences. The strategic analysis and research your team delivers will support advocacy and influencing at both a UK-wide and country portfolio level.
Ultimately your work will ensure that The National Lottery Community Fund has the evidence we need to deliver the full impact and benefit of 'It starts with Community' and that we have the processes in place to adapt and learn, including in preparing the insight that we need to set strategy beyond 2030.
We're looking for a strategic thinker who can connect the evidence and insight our team creates to the decisions at hand at all levels of our organisation. This means you must be able to demonstrate experience of presenting insight to senior stakeholders at Executive and Board level in a way that promotes evidence-led strategy and policy.
We aim to 'lead the agenda' with insight, so you will have strong experience of leading teams to develop clear and purposeful insight products for use in strategic communications and advocacy. Your people management skills will be crucial to this role as you lead the 5-strong Strategic Analysis team, developing a supportive culture of high-performance. 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.
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.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively communicate with different audiences.
