We are fully committed to being an inclusive employer and ensuring equal opportunities for everyone. We welcome flexible working patterns for all our vacancies, including job share.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Environment Agency’s Natural Capital Ecosystem Assessment (NCEA) Programme as the lead for Data, Analysis & Digital Workstream. The Defra-led NCEA programme is gathering broad scale and comprehensive data on our ecosystems including freshwater, estuarine and coastal water environments to reveal their benefits for people and the economy - their natural capital. This evidence and insight will ensure that policy and decision makers consider the true value of nature.
You will lead a team of data management specialists, data scientists and statisticians and digital experts. The team is responsible for supporting the design of the new NCEA monitoring networks, delivering the data management and digital solutions to support the networks and for analysing the data from the networks to develop statistically robust and nationally representative evidence on ecosystem condition. You will coordinate and lead the work of the team and support delivery to ensure the workstream meets its objectives and the overall aims of the programme.
Your responsibilities will include:
• setting the overall strategy and plan for the workstream and the three work packages within it;
• co-ordinating delivery of the workstream plan and supporting the work package leads and workstream project manager to resolve technical issues, manage risks/issues and ensure work is delivered to the required technical/scientific assurance standards;
• working with the other workstream leads to address cross-cutting technical issues;
• engaging with stakeholders within and beyond the programme on working groups and thematic boards, in the context of developing and delivering data management, analysis and digital solutions;
• line management duties for some members of the workstream.
The team
The post will sit in the Strategic Evidence Design & Assessment (SEDA) team.
We are part of the Chief Scientist’s Group in the Environment & Business (E&B) Directorate. We are a friendly and supportive team of data and evidence specialists, with a great reputation for delivering key information to drive the organisation’s water environment activities.
Working in a dispersed way you can expect a friendly welcome and engaging work environment.
Experience/skills required

• a background in data management and/or data analysis for the water environment;
• strong team ethic with the ability to balance wider team pressures, workloads and risks;
• strong communication skills, with the ability to lead, motivate, organise, and enhance team working;
• good organisational and planning skills with the ability to prioritise and deliver results effectively under pressure;
• ability to take initiative, be flexible, solve problems, and make risk-based decisions;
• experience in working and building relationships with a variety of customers, partners and /or stakeholders;
• previous line management experience (desirable).
You’ll have a range of development opportunities and appropriate training will be provided.
