As Data and Insights Manager, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering our new data platform, leading a team to deliver trusted, timely and actionable insights.

In the early stages, your focus will be on working alongside selected partners to set up the data infrastructure and team in readiness for the handover of legacy reporting from our current Housing Management System to our new Dynamics-based system.
