Children with Cancer UK
Children with Cancer UK is a leading children’s cancer charity dedicated to raising and investing funds into vital specialist research to save the lives of children with cancer. Our mission is to improve survival rates and the quality of survival in young cancer patients and to find ways to prevent cancer in the future. What began as a small memorial charity in 1988, has evolved into a major force raising more than £300 million and investing in over 200 research projects to help fight the injustice of cancer in children.
Role Overview
We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Data Analyst to join our IT and Data team. You will work with colleagues across fundraising, marketing, finance and services to understand reporting needs and turn them into trusted datasets, dashboards and insights that help us raise vital funds and demonstrate impact for children and young people affected by cancer. Using Salesforce and Tableau as core tools, you will:
- Partner with teams across fundraising, marketing, finance and services to gather requirements and translate them into clear reporting and insight solutions.
- Build, maintain and optimise Tableau dashboards that track key charity metrics (e.g., income, supporter engagement, campaign performance and operational KPIs).
- Query, extract and analyse data from Salesforce (CRM) to produce accurate reporting for fundraising activity, supporter journeys and internal decision-making.
- Document data definitions, business logic and reporting standards so colleagues have a shared understanding of key measures and KPIs.
- Identify trends, anomalies and opportunities within datasets and communicate insights clearly to non-technical stakeholders, with sensitivity to our cause and supporters.
- Support data quality monitoring and data governance in Salesforce, helping maintain clean, reliable and compliant records in line with GDPR and organisational policies.
