Description

Who we are
We help our clients design and deliver digital, technology and organisational transformation - solving real problems for real people.

We research, design and build things:
better services and products, better ways of working, better user experiences and better organisations and culture.

Our core areas of expertise are analysis, research, analytics, data; user-centred design (service design, content design, interaction design and user research); product management and delivery; business change and people development.

We primarily work in the public sector, supporting initiatives that improve society and the lives of citizens; with not-for-profit organisations, charities and social enterprises; and with some private-sector companies.

The key sectors we're working in at the moment include education, apprenticeships & skills development, social care, rehabilitation, housing and criminal justice - but we're always growing, developing and finding out about new things.

The role

This is a fantastic opportunity to enable and inspire digital teams in government to take data-driven decisions, working on a range of exciting government projects.

We are looking for an analytics professional who wants to take their technical, problem-solving and communication skills to the next level.

At Farsight Consulting we promote multidisciplinary, 'T shaped' skillsets in our people and provide coaching and upskilling through a dedicated coaching model and skills academy.

You would be a part of and help shape the growing analytics community of practise within Farsight Consulting, learning from others and bringing your own skills and experience to the table.

Responsibilities:

Deliver excellent analytics services for clients. This would typically be as a member of a multidisciplinary client team, consisting of a combination of other Farsight people, other consultants/contractors and clients' own employees.

- _Data analysis_
- _Leadership and/or management of a data/analytics team/product_
- _Government digital 'performance analysis' - responsible for definition, analysis and visualisation of a digital service's KPIs and goals_

Influence and inspire clients to take informed strategic decisions about their approach to analytics advising on tools, outcomes, governance, people, skills etc., working with others to complement and fill in the gaps in your own knowledge and experience
Be an active member of the Farsight analytics community of practise taking part in training and development activities and sharing your own skills and experience. Optionally, and depending on your skills and preferences, you might take on additional coaching and training responsibilities such as becoming a performance coach, providing informal on the job support or delivering more formal training activities.

-
SQL. You have used more advanced SQL (for example, complex joins between combinations of tables and CTEs, analytic functions, regular expressions, scripting and/or arrays/nested data) in a range of contexts (for example, different data warehouses or databases)
-
Data visualisation. You have used a range of tools (e.g. Looker, Looker Studio, Power BI, Tableau, Lightdash) to visualise data, can describe the stories this has enabled you to tell, and can explain your preferences around tooling while retaining flexibility to meet client needs.
-
Building and managing relationships. You can build and maintain strong relationships, demonstrating strong emotional intelligence and recognising the different needs of the diverse range of team members and clients we work with. You have experience mediating and mending relationships and managing expectations of clients and stakeholders.
-
Communication. You have strong listening, and verbal and written communication skills, which you can leverage to build relationships and facilitate effectively, asking the right questions to ensure conversations remain focused. You have experience communicating sensitive messages, telling nuanced data stories, and navigating difficult conversations, steering these towards positive outcomes.
