Job Summary

The Informatics Team in the Genomics Medicine Service has an opportunity for a Senior data Analyst to join a growing, dynamic and busy team.

As a Senior Information Analyst, you will take a lead role in the delivery of structured reporting such as balanced scorecards, and subsequent analysis and narrative to facilitate information based decision making in our business. You will also provide ad-hoc reporting and analysis on a per request basis.

 

Data Analyst Main duties

You will contribute to the creation of our reporting solution based on AWS QuickSights and Power BI including requirement gathering, design, development, testing and roll out of both the portal, and associated reports. You will identify requirements, KPI, measures and metrics and then work closely with our data engineering and testing teams to ensure that our data warehouse can support the provision of reporting and analysis. You will present your reports at various meetings, and provide narrative as to what the data tells us.

Any experience of project management methodologies and experience with Jira, Microsoft DevOps or similar task management software is an advantage.
