About The Role
SSAFA has recently begun its journey to leverage data-driven insights to drive better decisions and organisational success. We are seeking a talented and dynamic individual to join our centralised Data Team in a role that combines senior-level data analysis, stakeholder engagement, and data strategy.
You will act as the data expert across multiple workstreams, working both autonomously and collaboratively with colleagues across the Data Team and wider IT department. Drawing on your experience, you will guide internal teams on data best practice, from data capture and governance through to modelling, reporting, analytics, and insight generation.
A key part of the role will involve working with stakeholders to understand the outcomes they need to achieve, the information required to support decision making, and how data can be used to drive those goals. You will lead stakeholder workshops, gather requirements, analyse processes, define metrics, assess data quality, and design effective data solutions.
You will also identify opportunities to improve data capture, reporting processes, and data quality across the charity. This may involve refining operational processes, making better use of existing datasets, and applying statistical and analytical techniques to generate meaningful insights that support evidence-based decisions.
About The Team
The Data Team is a new team at SSAFA that aims to apply governance and structure to data sources and pipelines, as well as creating reports in Power BI for service leads and other stakeholders to improve their vital work.

You will thrive in environments where you can bring together people, processes, and data to solve complex business challenges. Equally confident facilitating stakeholder discussions and carrying out detailed analysis, you will be able to translate requirements into high-quality analytical products that deliver lasting value.
You will bring strong skills in stakeholder engagement, requirements gathering, process analysis, and solution design, alongside experience of working with technologies such as Dataverse, Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, and related platforms.
Most importantly, you will have a continual improvement mindset and a passion for improving data quality, strengthening governance practices, and helping organisations make better decisions through data.
