About the team
The Business Intelligence and Analytics team operates the hospital's Azure-based data warehouse and analytics platform, which provides management reporting and performance insights across the organization.
The team supports strategic decision-making and operational performance management for hospital leadership and department managers.
About the role
The Senior Data Analyst works directly with hospital departments to understand their information needs, analyze performance data, and deliver insights that support better decision-making.
You'll be the bridge between our business stakeholders and the BI development team - translating clinical and operational questions into analytical requirements, designing Power BI reports, and providing ad-hoc analysis to support hospital operations.
This role requires someone who can work independently with diverse stakeholders who don't speak data (clinicians, executives, managers), figure out what they actually need versus what they're asking for, and turn ambiguous business problems into clear data solutions.
You'll spend time in meetings understanding context, writing SQL to investigate issues, building reports that people actually use, and specifying requirements for our development team to implement.
We're looking for someone with strong analytical skills, excellent communication, and the confidence to challenge requests constructively.
Healthcare experience is valuable but not essential.
Key responsibilities will be based around:
Stakeholder engagement and requirements
Analysis and reporting
Data products and submissions
Training and support
