About the role

Reporting into the Impact & Growth function within Strategy, Advocacy & Engagement, the Senior Analyst – Outcomes, Data & Insights plays a critical organisation-wide role in strengthening Wesley Mission’s impact, evidence and decision-making capability.

This is not a pure reporting role — it is a strategic analytical role that shapes how the organisation understands, measures and funds its impact.

The role acts as a subject-matter expert in outcomes, impact measurement and data-enabled insight—leading the development and continuous improvement of Wesley Mission’s enterprise Outcomes Framework and ensuring outcomes evidence is credible, consistent and funder-ready.

The role also plays a key part in shaping how outcomes data is structured, integrated and used across the organisation, including contributing to data architecture considerations that ensure outcomes information can be reliably drawn from multiple systems and sources.

You will be responsible for translating complex qualitative and quantitative data into clear, practical insights that inform service design, productisation, strategy, advocacy, and funding proposals.

The role also leads enterprise outcomes reporting, delivering timely, decision-ready analysis for internal and external stakeholders, and supports the organisation to use evidence to strengthen evaluation, continuous improvement and growth.

Working closely with service portfolios and teams across strategy, policy, advocacy and growth, you will provide expert advice on outcomes credibility, evidentiary standards and data-related risks, while helping to build organisational capability in evidence-based practice.

This is an excellent opportunity for a highly capable analyst to combine technical expertise with strategic influence in a large, mission-driven organisation.

About you

This role would suit someone who brings:

• Strong experience in data analysis, outcomes measurement, evaluation or insights generation in a complex organisational environment, preferably within not-for-profit, government or commissioned service environments where outcomes and funding are closely linked
• Demonstrated ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable insights that inform strategy, service design and decision-making
• Experience working with outcomes frameworks, performance reporting or evaluation approaches, including ensuring methodological rigour and consistency
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capability, including working with qualitative and quantitative data sets
• High proficiency in data tools and visualisation (e.g. Excel, Power BI), and demonstrated experience working within complex data environments, including understanding how data is structured, integrated and governed across systems
• Experience or confidence in financial modelling or investment analysis, particularly in linking outcomes, cost and value in funding, commissioning or business case contexts
• Ability to operate at the intersection of data, strategy and service delivery, bringing both technical depth and strategic judgement
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills, including the ability to influence and advise senior leaders
• Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and work across diverse teams
• Alignment with Wesley Mission’s Christian mission, values and commitment to social justice
