The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) team supports HMRC to understand and address barriers, meet its equality responsibilities and improve colleague and organisational outcomes. The team works with partners across HR and the wider organisation and needs robust evidence to prioritise activity, evaluate impact and provide effective governance assurance.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion activity should be driven by evidence, informed by insight and focused on meaningful outcomes. This role will help HMRC understand what is working, where improvement is needed and how decisions can be strengthened through better use of data, research and evaluation.
As the EDI Insight & Evaluation Manager, you will lead work to assess the impact of EDI activity, develop proportionate performance measures and provide senior leaders with clear, evidence-based recommendations. You will work across EDI, HR, People Analytics and Insight, policy and operational teams to translate complex information into practical options for action.
This opportunity may suit candidates with experience in evidence and insight, evaluation, social research, performance management, continuous improvement, people analytics or policy. Previous EDI experience is helpful but is not required where the candidate can demonstrate the core evidence, evaluation, communication and stakeholder skills.
Job Description
Evidence, Insight and Analysis
- Gather, analyse and interpret qualitative and quantitative evidence from multiple sources.
- Identify significant patterns, disparities, risks and evidence gaps using management information, research, people data and stakeholder insight.
- Frame analytical questions and commission or coordinate specialist analysis where required.
- Distinguish clearly between evidence, assumptions and hypotheses, avoiding conclusions that the available information cannot support.
- Translate findings into practical recommendations, options and decision points.
- Undertake proportionate horizon scanning and desk-based research on EDI, evaluation and organisational change.
Monitoring, Evaluation and Performance
- Design, apply and improve proportionate approaches to monitoring and evaluation.
- Develop logic models, outcome measures, indicators and reporting arrangements that distinguish activity, outputs and outcomes.
- Assess whether interventions are delivering intended outcomes and value for money.
- Support benchmarking and comparison activity where it adds genuine insight.
- Identify limitations in data quality, sample coverage or evaluation design and recommend realistic ways to strengthen the evidence base.
Governance and Assurance
- Produce concise briefings, governance papers and reports for senior leaders.
- Present balanced advice on evidence quality, risk, impact, strategic alignment and value for money.
- Establish and maintain proportionate governance and assurance arrangements for EDI evidence and evaluation activity.
- Maintain oversight of evidence-related risks, decisions and dependencies, escalating issues appropriately.
- Support transparent prioritisation so that resources are directed towards activity with a clear rationale and intended outcome.
Collaboration and Capability
- Build effective relationships across EDI, HR, People Analytics and Insight, policy, data owners and operational teams.
- Work constructively with stakeholders who hold different interpretations or priorities.
- Explain complex findings in accessible language and tailor communication to the audience.
- Build confidence and capability in the appropriate use of data, evidence and evaluation.
- Share practical learning and promote a culture of curiosity, challenge and continuous improvement.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Data Stewardship

- Work with data owners and specialists to support appropriate data access, interpretation, retention and disclosure control.

We are interested in candidates who can think critically, handle ambiguity, test assumptions, recognise the limits of evidence and turn analysis into useful decisions. Relevant experience may have been gained in research, policy, HR, operational delivery, assurance, performance, evaluation, audit or continuous improvement.
