As a Health Analytics Lead, you’ll play a key role in shaping how data and evidence are used to inform understanding, influence decision-making, and drive action on cardiovascular disease across the UK. Working within the Health Insights team in the Medical Directorate, you’ll ensure the British Heart Foundation (BHF) remains intelligence-led across its operations.
This is a senior analytical role where you’ll lead the delivery of high-quality population health and healthcare analytics, ensuring robust, evidence-based insights inform strategic priorities, policy development, and organisational decision-making. You’ll translate complex statistical and scientific evidence into clear, compelling insights that influence decisions and drive meaningful action.
You’ll lead analytical activity across large, complex datasets, including data extraction, preparation, modelling, and visualisation, producing impactful public-facing outputs such as reports and technical explainers. You’ll effectively communicate insights to a wide range of audiences, including senior stakeholders, policy teams, and the media.
You’ll deliver a core health intelligence service to the Medical Directorate and wider organisation, manage the statistics sign-off process, respond to complex queries, and support the development of knowledge management and reporting approaches. Working collaboratively across teams, including data science, you’ll maximise the value of data and analytics across BHF.
As a leader, you’ll line manage and develop analysts, fostering a high-performing team while championing best practice in data management, reproducibility, and statistical governance.
About you
As our ideal candidate, you’ll have:
- A degree in a quantitative field such as medical statistics, epidemiology, health services research, biomedical research, or equivalent experience (postgraduate qualification desirable).
- Strong experience in a senior analytical role, ideally within a health-related environment, with expertise in population health, epidemiology, or healthcare analytics.
- Proven experience working with large, complex datasets, using a range of data manipulation, analysis, and visualisation tools.
- Strong experience delivering high-quality, public-facing analysis and translating complex statistical and scientific evidence into clear, accessible insights for varied audiences.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and engage both technical and non-technical audiences, including in external or media settings.
- Experience developing dashboards, models, and reporting tools to support decision-making and promote data-driven practices.
- Experience line managing or developing analysts, maintaining high analytical standards and supporting capability growth.
- Strong technical expertise in tools such as R or Python, SQL, and visualisation platforms such as Power BI or Tableau, alongside advanced Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel and PowerPoint.
- Highly organised, able to manage competing priorities and deliver to tight deadlines, with strong analytical thinking and attention to detail. A collaborative and proactive approach is essential, as is the confidence to challenge thinking and champion an evidence-based culture.
