What you'll be doing

Service Journey Orchestration

You will lead an inclusive, high-performing team of analytics specialists, setting clear priorities while supporting performance, wellbeing and career development. You'll define the analytical direction for the Event & Service Journey capability, ensuring the team's work is aligned to customer, member and business priorities.

Working closely with the team, you'll coach and develop colleagues to deliver high-quality analytical outputs while maintaining modern skills, techniques and professional standards. You'll also remain hands-on, building and maintaining analytical solutions using Python, SQL and GitHub.

As the technical lead, you'll establish standards for documentation, reference implementations and reusable assets, sharing best practice across the wider Event & Service Journey Communications capability. You'll collaborate with governance, risk, security, privacy and architecture colleagues to ensure solutions meet all required controls and standards.

You'll continually challenge existing approaches, identifying opportunities to improve how we work and taking those ideas through delivery to measurable value realisation.

What success looks like

Your analytical outputs will inform Service Journey Orchestration decisions, helping teams focus on the highest-value opportunities while measuring effectiveness. Users will have timely access to trusted analytics, and your recommendations will deliver measurable improvements in customer and member outcomes, journey effectiveness and business value.

You'll ensure the team balances competing priorities effectively, providing stakeholders with clear and realistic delivery expectations. Proofs of concept will generate robust evidence to support decision-making, with the strongest ideas progressing through a controlled route into production. You'll also ensure the value delivered through analytical recommendations is evidenced, tracked and clearly communicated.

About you

You are an experienced analytics leader who combines strong technical credibility with an inclusive, practical leadership style. You can lead a skilled team while remaining close to the work, moving confidently from discovery and prototyping through to robust, scalable analytical solutions.

You communicate complex ideas clearly, build trusted relationships and influence senior stakeholders across business and technology. Comfortable working in an evolving environment, you create clarity, set high technical standards and keep the needs of customers and members at the centre of decision-making.

Minimum skills and experience

• Proven experience developing and deploying production solutions using Python and SQL
• Experience exploring new and unfamiliar data sources to create rich analytical outputs
• Experience using GitHub (or equivalent) with version control, code reviews and testing practices
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts, influence senior audiences and challenge established thinking
• Strong experience using customer, behavioural or operational data to improve journeys, communications or service outcomes
• Experience designing and executing testing, evaluation and quality assurance approaches
• Experience working within multidisciplinary teams, including product, engineering, data, security and risk stakeholders
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of complex technical deliverables from design through to implementation
• Proven experience leading, developing and performance-managing a skilled analytics team in a complex environment
• Experience with Databricks or comparable cloud analytics and AI platforms

Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:

• Feel what customers feel - We step into our customers' shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs, so that every decision we make starts and finishes with our customers in mind

• Say it straight - We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think - we're honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand

• Push for better - We don't settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development

• Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes

You can strengthen your application by showing how our customer first behaviours resonate with you, and where you may have already demonstrated these.
