Senior Data Manager, Networked Data Lab

---

Job description

Our office is located at Salisbury Square, London EC4Y but we have moved to a hybrid way of working. Details available upon request.

The Health Foundation is an independent charity committed to bringing about better health and health care for people in the UK.

The Networked Data Lab provides national and local health system leaders with insights from data to take action in order to improve the UK's health and care. We are a collaborative network of analytical teams across the UK working together using linked datasets on key issues facing health and care services.

We are looking for a Senior Data Manager to work collaboratively with colleagues to support an ambitious programme of data analytics and data curation and standardization.

The successful candidate will work with the team to communicate the value of innovative data linkage, and routine datasets, to the public and to policy makers; and will engage with senior stakeholders on data curation and standardisation, developing partnerships with health and care organisations across the UK. You will lead data management, data curation and information governance work to support the in-house analytic work-programme, with a particular focus on the Networked Data Lab.

Suitably qualified, and ideally with a proficiency in statistical or data management software (ideally R), our ideal candidate will have a successful track record of developing and building data access solutions and demonstrable experience of data management and data standardisation, ideally with experience of developing novel methods. You will have extensive knowledge of current developments in data curation and data standardisation and a well-developed professional network.

To be successful in the role of Senior Data Manager you must understand the UK data access landscape, especially the legal, regulatory and access framework for accessing data for research purposes. Equally as important will be your ability to work collaboratively, and proactively engage with colleagues and external partners. This is an emerging environment and you will be able to work flexibly, respond to changing priorities, and adapt and persevere to deliver outcomes.
