The Role
As a Senior Data Analyst, you will play an integral role in the JIO assessment process through the provision of quantitative data expertise and information, whilst also working to improve the organisation's overall data capabilities. You will work across all JIO assessment teams to deliver high quality data analysis, and provide your own analytical insight and challenge to the critical issues the JIO considers. You will be expected to develop and maintain productive partnerships within data teams across and beyond government, and deliver training initiatives to ensure minimum standards in data analysis across the organisation.
You will be empowered to innovate and challenge the ways in which data is used to ensure the JIO remains abreast of a changing information landscape and continues to produce high quality assessment products.

Responsibilities
The successful candidate will:
- Deliver data analysis projects that contribute to JIO assessment products on various national security and foreign policy topics, including co-authorship of data-driven assessments.
- Develop and deliver data visualisations that accurately represent key findings for use in all source Intelligence Assessment.
- Identify where data analysis can add valuable insights to intelligence, national security, and foreign policy issues.
- Develop new quantitative techniques or products that will set the standard and become best practice examples for the rest of HMG and Intelligence Assessment community.
- Maintain an active understanding of the data landscape and community, including relationship management of key government and international partners, and attendance at external conferences and briefings.
- Undertake initiatives to improve and maintain the JIO's data literacy and support effective use of data across the organisation, including delivery of training sessions on data best practice.
- Mentor and support new joiners, fostering a culture of inclusion and diversity within the team.
