This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives on transforming complex information into clear, compelling stories that influence strategy, drive improvement and strengthen governance.
About the role:
Reporting to the Head of Standards & Performance, you'll lead the development and management of our corporate performance framework, ensuring the organisation has robust, reliable and accessible insight to support decision-making at every level.

About you:
We're looking for a highly analytical professional who can confidently interpret complex information and communicate it in a way that drives action.

- Strong analytical skills with the ability to identify trends, root causes and emerging risks.
- Experience managing KPI frameworks, reporting standards and performance measures.
- The ability to translate complex data into clear, engaging visualisations and narratives.
- Excellent stakeholder management skills and the confidence to work with senior leaders, Boards and committees.
- Experience supporting governance, assurance, audit or regulatory reporting activities.
- Strong knowledge of Microsoft 365 applications, particularly Power BI, Excel, Word and PowerPoint.
- Level 5 qualification or equivalent experience in performance management, business intelligence, governance, risk, assurance or a related discipline.
