Strategic Analyst

Strategic Analyst Corporate Support & Development Grade E - £33,603 - £39,276

Fixed Term Contract - Until 31st March 2027 Full Time Rose Hill Headquarters 

About the role

As a Strategic Analyst, you will produce high‑quality analytical products that inform long‑term planning and strategic development across the organisation. You will interpret and analyse a wide range of information — including data, intelligence, environmental scanning, capability and capacity — to identify organisational threat, harm and risk and provide a robust evidence base for senior leaders.

You will also design and develop processes that support the production of strategic analysis reports, ensuring they meet departmental and Force standards.

Your work will directly support strategic performance improvement and help shape the future direction of the organisation.

What you’ll bring

We are looking for someone with strong analytical capability, excellent communication skills and the confidence to influence at all levels.

You will have:

  • Experience and understanding of analytical concepts and techniques, with the ability to apply creativity and innovation.
  • Extensive knowledge of computerised query building and the ability to work confidently across a wide range of Force information systems.
  • Strong organisation and time‑management skills, with the ability to meet demanding and impromptu deadlines.
  • Significant experience using statistical research tools and techniques, with the ability to interpret findings, draw conclusions and make recommendations.
  • Ability to scrutinise and dissect large volumes of information, identifying areas requiring further investigation.
  • Proven verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to prepare and present clear, concise reports.
  • Ability to present complex analytical findings in simple terms to diverse audiences.
  • Confidence to influence and negotiate information requirements with customers.
  • A flexible approach to working hours and practices, including working at other locations across the Force when required.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
