An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Health Data Strategy Lead to join a leading organisation focused on advancing science and health research. This is a strategic role focused on understanding the UK health data landscape, identifying emerging opportunities, and using this insight to help shape future funding and investment decisions.

Role and Responsibilities
- Develop a strategic view of the UK health data landscape, including key organisations, initiatives, infrastructure, and emerging trends
- Identify and evaluate opportunities for investment across health data, data linkage, digital infrastructure, and research technology
- Use evidence, market insight, and domain expertise to help shape future funding priorities
- Review existing funded programmes to identify gaps, opportunities, and areas for greater impact
- Lead landscape reviews, funding calls, RFPs, and investment proposals
- Build relationships with senior stakeholders across healthcare, academia, research organisations, government, and other funders

- Provide strategic advice on health data and digital technology initiatives
- Assess technical and research proposals and support investment decisions
- Help develop a coherent portfolio of investments across health data and digital research infrastructure
