The following experience and skills will be required:

• Communicating and influencing - able to communicate complex analysis in a way senior leaders and non-technical audiences can understand.
• Working together - able to work with stakeholders to understand their analytical approaches and needs.

• Analytical - an ability to understand and bring together complex datasets and systems.

Your CV should be no more than 2 pages long and should show us your work history and previous experience. It should be well structured, succinct and written in clear language.

Your Statement of Suitability should be no more than 750 words and should give us examples of how your skills and experience match those needed for this role.
