At Edge Health, we believe that data and analytics have the potential to transform decision making, policy, quality and efficiency within the NHS. We are an analytics firm based in London, delivering consultancy services and developing data products to help unlock this potential for our clients.
We are looking for a Senior Analyst to join our team full-time in London. Our consulting business focusses on both the delivery of projects to meet clients’ needs, and the development of repeatable propositions to take to market. We are growing quickly as a business and are looking for an individual with 2-4 years of professional experience, ideally in a consulting or healthcare analytics background who can integrate quickly into our team and support the growth of our consulting business.
The organisations we work with have a wide range of needs, and differing levels of technical
sophistication. We are committed to delivering work which brings the maximum benefit to our clients, patients, and the NHS, and doing this requires flexibility in the analytical approach we bring to each problem and an innovative mindset to use the best tools to get there.
Key skills and competencies we are looking for include:
- Passion for working in healthcare, and experience of having done so;
- Technical skills and experience, such as data economics, statistics, coding, data science or modelling;
- Passion for working with people, experience in managing clients and analysts;
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, across a diverse range of areas;
- Enthusiasm for working closely with our clients and partner organisations as well as with other members of the Edge team.
What's it like to work at Edge?
The role is a mix of hands-on analysis and project delivery. As a Senior Analyst you run projects day to day and help oversee analysts and engineers, supported by a project manager and led by a Director. You'll still spend much of your time in the detail: coding in SQL, R or Python, building models, and working out what the results mean for the client.
The work is varied and often starts with a question rather than a prescribed method. We might be helping an NHS team understand pressures on a service, evaluating the economics of a new intervention, or building a tool that lets a client answer the question themselves. Because consulting, economics, data science and engineering sit closely together, people can move between these kinds of problems.
We are also small enough for people to shape what Edge does. Senior Analysts contribute to bids and scoping, help develop new propositions, and support the development of the wider team. We set aside two training days each quarter, and recent internal development time has produced new public tools as well as client propositions.
