Whilst this is not an IT role they will need to have the confidence and ability to discuss and understand relevant technical elements of data software with IT professionals The Trust uses key systems to manage data in respect of our grant making, including a grant management system (Blackbaud Grant Making) and a bespoke system for
managing data relating to measuring the impact of funded projects on beneficiaries. Other systems include those relating to our communications, evaluation and financial management. Each is managed directly by subject matter experts and the Business Intelligence Analyst will work with these colleagues to enhance the benefits of holding, and facilitate advancements in using, this data. The ideal candidate would be interested in innovation and be aware of wider business transformations in other sectors that are being driven by AI and automation. They would be able to articulate the risks and benefits of these approaches to a non-technical audience, and would be able to propose and implement proportionate and risk controlled improvements for a non-profit organisation utilising new approaches. If they are not currently experienced in PowerBI then they would be willing to upskill rapidly.
