• Engage stakeholders with compelling communication and change experiences.
• Shape a future where intelligence‑led animal rescue brings joy to more animals, families, and communities.

What We’re Looking For

• Expertise in data architecture, system analysis, and BI tools (Power BI).
• Strong leadership skills with experience managing complex programmes.
• Familiarity with human‑centred design and process innovation.
• Passion for animal welfare and the imagination to explore groundbreaking solutions.

Why Join Us?

This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to lead a transformation that matters. You’ll work in the beautiful Dorset countryside, alongside a passionate team, and help shape the future of animal rescue.
