Develop and implement data collection strategies and timetables, and analysis methodologies to extract meaningful insights from complex datasets.

Exceptional verbal and written communication, research, and problem-solving skills, including strong report writing and documentation skills and demonstrated ability to summarise complex material effectively and present key issues for a wide range of audiences. Strong leadership and people management skills, with demonstrated success in developing, supporting, and motivating teams. A focus on detail with a commitment to ensuring data accuracy, reliability and security. Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment while managing multiple priorities.
