The Data & Systems Analyst
The Data & Systems Analyst will help the Parish Support Team make better decisions, improve services, and reduce complexity through better use of data, systems, and insight.
Working across departments, the postholder will develop a deep understanding of how information, processes, and services currently operate, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, strengthen decision-making, and enhance the experience of colleagues, clergy, volunteers, and other users. They will translate organisational needs into practical solutions, combining data analysis, process improvement, service design, and digital tools to deliver meaningful change.
This person will act as the organisation’s lead specialist to improve data quality, integration, reporting, and governance, ensuring information is accurate, accessible, and used effectively across the organisation. They will also support the design and implementation of systems, workflows, and automations that save time, reduce duplication, and enable colleagues to focus on higher-value activities.
