About the role

What does the average day look like?

You will lead the establishment of a data science function within Performance, setting its priorities, standards and operating model so it can deliver meaningful improvements across the rail network.

You will make sure the function delivers practical outputs that improve reliability, efficiency and decision making.

You will be a trusted voice for senior stakeholders, using evidence and insight to influence priorities and embed data driven decision making in Performance. A key part of the role will be building capability, developing people and creating the right governance, tools and standards for a sustainable data science function.

This is an opportunity to build something new and lasting, shaping how Performance uses data science to support one of the UK's most critical networks every day.

You will also be a capable leader who can build teams, introduce clear ways of working, communicate complex insights simply and influence senior stakeholders.

Membership of a relevant professional body is welcomed as part of your ongoing professional development.
