- Work with cross-functional teams to convert raw data into actionable insights that contribute to investment appraisals, business case development, and service transformation.
- Utilise statistical methods and tools (e.g., R Studio, R Markdown) to build predictive models, evaluate business performance, and support continuous improvement initiatives.
Innovation, Quality & Governance
- Promote best practices in data governance, including metadata management, audit trail maintenance, and data privacy.
- Maintain consistency, resilience, and scalability in all data products and adhere to information security standards.
- Champion innovation within the team, exploring and adopting emerging tools and technologies to enhance analytical capability.
Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement
- Build strong working relationships with Service Leads, clients, and internal stakeholders to ensure that reporting outputs are timely, relevant, and impactful.
- Provide strategic support to the Head of Strategic Property Services and contribute to client engagement, account development, and new business proposals.

Team Development & Technical Leadership
- Act as a mentor and technical advisor to junior analysts, fostering a culture of curiosity, collaboration, and continuous learning.
- Lead and contribute to the Data, Analytics & Insights Community of Practice, helping evolve service offerings and developing colleagues through guidance and knowledge sharing.
- Take ownership of the ongoing review and improvement of service solutions, including standard operating procedures and reporting frameworks.
