• Synthesise external datasets (e.g. property lists, ethnicity data, employment statistics) into actionable insights.
• Develop dashboards and visual tools to support strategic decision‑making on property procurement, community safety and migration strategy.
• Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to improve data flow and consistency, ensuring a consistent approach to data interpretation.
• Support the City of Sanctuary programme and other migration‑related initiatives, providing evidence‑based decision‑making to support vulnerable communities.

Qualifications

• Experience working with demographic and location‑based data.
• Strong analytical and visualisation skills (e.g. dashboards mapping).
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.
• Public sector experience is helpful but not essential.

Benefits & Culture

We welcome fresh perspectives from the public sector, academia or industry. Your insights will help us challenge internal assumptions and improve how we work.
