You'll focus on turning data into insight that helps managers understand performance, identify risks early, and shape services that work for both customers and staff. You will provide clear, reliable insights that support teams, service managers, and senior leaders to make informed, balanced decisions.

Clear thinking, curiosity, good judgement, and the ability to build trust matter just as much as technical expertise.
