About the Role
Transform data into action and help shape the future of our borough—we’re all in on delivering insight that drives real change for our residents. As a Senior Insight and Strategy Analyst at the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, you’ll turn complex data into clear, actionable insight that shapes real decisions. Working in our Corporate Strategy team, you’ll help ensure everything we do is grounded in evidence—supporting our ambition to be a greener, safer and fairer borough for all.

You'll be based in the Borough for three days a week, playing a key role in serving the local community. Whether you're working on the frontline or behind the scenes, you'll be part of a dedicated team making a real difference to residents' lives.

Your work will be incredibly varied, ranging from deep-dive data analysis to building strong, collaborative relationships across the entire organisation. A significant part of your role involves leading on corporate performance reporting, where you will coordinate the submission of data and commentary to ensure our progress is transparent and measurable.

You will not just report numbers; you will develop engaging narratives and stories from data, making clear links between technical intelligence and our organisational strategy to inform effective decision-making.

You will take a leading role in analytical projects, including the development of our Data Network and Data and Insight hub. This involves facilitating workshops focused on strategic thinking and working closely with service areas to develop meaningful performance measures.

By taking an end-user focused approach, you will create dynamic and accessible intelligence products, such as Power BI dashboards and GIS-based tools, that anticipate and meet the needs of the Council. You will also support other analysts in the team, helping them shape their work and develop their own strategic and analytical skills.

Interviews will be held on week commencing 3rd August 2026 (tbc if this will be on MS Teams or in person).

We’re all in – are you? If you share our values and have the skills to contribute, we’d love to hear from you. Please apply online explaining how you meet the requirements set out in the person specification and job description.

We are committed to promoting equality and respecting diversity and welcome applications from all sections of the community. We are a Disability Confident Employer – committed to ensuring that our recruitment and selection process is inclusive and accessible.
