Job Summary

Turn data into impact – for pets and people! 🐾

At Blue Cross, every insight we deliver helps improve the lives of animals and the people who love them. We’re looking for an Insights Analyst who is passionate about data, storytelling and making a real difference in the world of animal welfare.

Join our growing Insights team and help turn numbers into meaningful action!

More about the Role

The Insights Analyst role is a key part of the friendly and welcoming Insights team, which sits within the wider Data and Insights team as part of our Information Services directorate.

Working closely with the Insights Manager and the other analysts in the team, you’ll deliver high quality reporting, analysis and insight to help Blue Cross stakeholders better understand our clients and supporters, and the difference we make to their lives.

You’ll collaborate with teams across the charity, including our operational teams, ensuring insights are accessible, engaging and support confident decision making. A key part of the role is designing and continuously improving Power BI dashboards and reports, using data visualisation best practice to bring insights to life.

You’ll also support ad‑hoc analysis requests, help maintain high data quality standards, and contribute to reporting that tracks progress against Blue Cross’s strategy, including reporting for trustees, executives and senior leaders.

Analysis of supporter and campaign activity will form a key part of this role, and you’ll join the team’s work on selecting supporters for fundraising and marketing activities too.

About You

We’re looking for an analytical, curious and collaborative individual who enjoys working with complex data from multiple sources and translating it into clear, actionable insights. You’ll be comfortable working with a wide range of stakeholders and explaining technical concepts to non‑technical audiences.

Able to work capably to deadlines and an enthusiastic problem solver, you’ll also have great soft skills that will help you to build strong and positive relationships both within the Data and Insights team and with stakeholders throughout Blue Cross.

You’ll be able to demonstrate strong numeracy and analytical skills including a good level of Excel knowledge – which we’ll assess at the interview stage. We use Microsoft Power BI as our business intelligence tool, but don’t worry if you haven’t used Power BI or other business intelligence software as you’ll get lots of support and training as you learn.

Strong attention to detail and an enthusiasm for learning new skills and tools will allow you to really thrive in this role, which could be your first step into an analytics career, or your next step along the path. We look forward to warmly welcoming the right candidate!

IMPORTANT NOTE

As this role involves twice‑weekly presence within the office, candidates must live within a reasonable distance from our Burford office (for example, within one and a half hours’ travel one way). Our Burford office is in a rural location where public transport links are infrequent, therefore travel by car is our strong recommendation. If you are thinking of applying, please check your travel time using the postcode OX18 4PF.

While we’d love to hear from a wide range of applicants, we’re unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role and require candidates to have the current right to work in the UK.
