About The Role
The Senior Data and Insight Scientist provides analytical leadership across Lloyd’s Register Foundation, ensuring that data and evidence are robust, meaningful, and usable for decision-making and impact.
The role bridges deep technical expertise with clear insight translation, supporting flagship programmes including the World Risk Poll and the Global Safety Evidence Centre.
This is a hybrid role combining advanced data analysis, applied statistics, evidence production, and high-quality communication. It plays a central role in strengthening the Foundation’s evidence-led approach to safety.
About The Global Safety Evidence Centre
Lloyd’s Register Foundation’s mission to engineer a safer world is underpinned by the use of robust and credible evidence to better understand the nature and scale of global safety challenges, and what is needed to address them. While we know this evidence is critical to informing decision-making and improving safety, it often does not yet exist or is not easily accessible. Responding to this need, the Foundation has established GSEC as a hub for anyone who needs to know ‘what works’ to make people safer, collating the best safety evidence from our partners and other sources and communicating it in an understandable and actionable form. GSEC also hosts the Foundation’s own evidence outputs, such as our flagship World Risk Poll.
