Are you passionate about unlocking the value of data and leading cultural change to embed data in ways of working?  Do you have experience of managing and delivering complex data change projects, improving data management and governance and a track record in strategic planning & translating strategy into operational delivery? Then join Shelter as a Head of Data and Business Intelligence and you could soon be playing a vital strategic role at the heart of our Technology & Data team. About Shelter
A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change, with individuals, in communities, across society, and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve. At Shelter we are united by our purpose to defend the right to a safe home. Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. We believe that to win that fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement for change. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, fair, equitable and transparent. We have committed to combat racism both within and outside Shelter and welcome you on our journey to becoming a truly anti-racist organisation.  About the team Within the wider Technology and Data department, the Data and Business Intelligence team lead the development of our data management and governance across Shelter, ensuring that business change is driven by data informed decisions and intelligent insight. The team is pivotal in leading the change to embed data within our culture and ways of working. About the role
As Head of Data and BI you'll be responsible for developing and delivering an evolving data strategy and plan that embeds a data informed culture within Shelter. We'll also rely on you to lead the implementation of the strategic plan, which will involve working collaboratively across the organisation to ensure alignment to your vision and the achievement of agreed benefits. Co-ordinating and documenting the data landscape will be an important aspect of the role too, as will managing specific projects to improve data management and governance. And, when it comes to managing and facilitating our data governance framework and implementing a robust technology infrastructure that will allow simple and high-quality access to all Shelter information, regardless of location and thus enabling effective collaboration, again, we'll count on you to deliver. We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit. About you
To succeed, you'll need advanced experience of data modelling, data analytics design and implementation, and data management technologies, plus knowledge of a range of data science and analytics methodologies and technologies. You'll also need a good understanding of data warehousing and data integration platforms such as Azure, Talend etc. and a proven ability to develop and implement performance frameworks and evaluate impact and outcomes. Someone who is able to think creatively, solve complex problems and make evidence-based decisions, you also have a flair for analysing and interpreting complex data and producing meaningful insight from it in a clear and comprehensible format. What's more, you're great at developing relationships, negotiating and influencing at all levels and working with senior leaders on progress, strategy and key decisions and know how to build, motivate and develop self-managing teams and manage team and project budgets. Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme. Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We're here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
