Senior Strategy Analyst

Important notice

In line with our redeployment policy, we'll prioritise applications from employees who are under formal notice of redundancy.

We're looking for a Senior Strategy Analyst for a 12-month period. We have a strong strategy, but we need to adapt to a rapidly changing external context and learn quickly about what works. Working closely with colleagues within the Strategic Delivery Unit and across the organisation, you'll synthesise data and insight to inform how our strategy should evolve over the coming years.

What it's like to work here

We're a collaborative, insight-driven team at the heart of strategic decision-making for the Trust. Reporting to the Strategy Manager, this role sits within the Strategic Delivery Unit (SDU) and works closely with leaders across the organisation. We value curiosity, clarity, and collaboration, and we're passionate about using evidence to shape the future.

Your contractual location will be our head office in Swindon and there will be an expectation for you to attend the office. However, there is flexibility on where you are based at other times. You will be required to work at a National Trust location for 40-60% of your working week. This will be discussed in more detail at interview.

What you'll be doing

You'll deliver strategic insight by using advanced analytical skills to turn complex data into clear, practical insights that inform critical organisational decisions at Executive level.

You'll work closely with colleagues in Audience Insight, Performance, Planning, and other teams, building trusted relationships and ensuring analysis supports shared goals.

You'll support evidence-based decisions by synthesising large volumes of qualitative and quantitative data, spotting patterns and connecting the dots to shape structured, actionable recommendations and choices.

You'll champion best practice by sharing expertise, challenging assumptions, and continuously improving your analytical approaches, contributing to high standards and consistency across the strategy team.
