What you will be doing?

As our Asset Data and Information Lead Officer, you will play a key role in strengthening how asset information is managed and used across the organisation. Working closely with colleagues across Building Safety and Property Services, Operations, Technology and Data teams, ensuring data is accurate, reliable and supports effective decision-making around our homes, services and future investment.

The role involves developing and embedding data standards, governance arrangements and quality controls, while shaping reporting, dashboards and performance insights that support both operational and strategic priorities. You will identify data quality issues, drive improvements and help increase confidence in the information used across the business.

As we continue our digital transformation journey, you will support the move from manual, spreadsheet-based processes to more efficient and robust system-led solutions. Promoting a culture of data ownership and accountability, helping colleagues build confidence in the way information is collected, managed and reported. Through training, coaching and support, you will contribute to better reporting, forecasting and performance, ensuring we have trusted information to deliver great services and make informed decisions for our residents.

Who we are looking for?

We are looking for someone who understands the value of high-quality data and can turn complex information into meaningful insight. With experience in asset data, reporting, governance or information management, you will be comfortable challenging the status quo, identifying opportunities for improvement and driving better ways of working.

A strong collaborator, you will build effective relationships across teams and communicate confidently with a wide range of stakeholders. You'll have experience using reporting tools such as Power BI, a keen eye for data quality, and the ability to balance attention to detail with a focus on the bigger picture.

Most importantly, you'll be passionate about using trusted information to support better decision-making, improve services and deliver positive outcomes for residents. If you're someone who enjoys solving problems, influencing change and helping others make better use of data, we'd love to hear from you
