We’re looking for a Senior Analyst to join the Corporate Performance and Insight team in Sheffield City Council. We’d be particularly keen to hear from you if you have solid data skills and experience and enjoy helping people access and understand data and analysis.
This is an exciting time – we’re currently on a data maturity journey improving how we deliver evidence and insights, providing reporting for the Council Plan Outcomes Framework, getting involved in delivery of a new Digital Strategy including a move to more cloud based data infrastructure, and providing analysis across a wide range of Council service areas.
About the team
The Corporate Performance and Insight service is located within Strategic Enabling Services, part of the essential wiring that supports Sheffield City Council to work well. We are a small, dynamic, motivated team of performance analysts, data scientists and GIS specialists. We collaborate and work with services and functions across the organisation. As a corporate hub, we are continually developing our expertise and have a key role in driving the Council’s data, analysis, performance management and improvement.

You will have an important role to play in supporting the implementation and function of the council performance framework and maturing data infrastructure, working with council services to ensure key data and context components are in place and available for performance monitoring and improvement activity. You will be confident to play a leading role in the ongoing development of our team and function, develop networks and links within the Council and with partner organisations, undertaking analysis and communicating findings to support the priorities of the Council Plan.
