 Key responsibilities will include:-

• Identifying patterns, trends, and root causes to anticipate potential challenges/opportunities, and recommend solutions to the Programme Director and Delivery Partners, to mitigate these

• Leading on the creation of high-quality analysis and drawing out insights which enables the development, improvement, and innovation within the service

  Provide coaching and support to the delivery partners on data-based decision making

• Lead on impact management within projects and identify approaches which amplify impact and delivery innovations

• Ability to think differently: We will not succeed by copying existing models or structures. Our projects and investments all require the team to think through each problem from first principles and find the most effective and efficient new solution in each case. This requires logic, analytical rigour, and a willingness to question assumptions. It also requires the desire to work in a dynamic environment, along with the ability to be solutions-focused and work in a small team.

• Ability to build and maintain trust: We aim for the edge of what we believe is possible, from ourselves and our partners; this can only be achieved through mutual trust. Everything we do must be open to scrutiny and full transparency. This requires excellent interpersonal skills and absolute integrity.
