• Use SQL (or optionally Python) to analyse data
• Work with others with different roles and skillsets to develop meaningful insights that transform their decision making – for example about government policy, digital product strategy or user experience
• Define, analyse and visualise a government digital service’s KPIs and goals (known as ‘performance analysis’ in the UK public sector

Influence and inspire clients to take informed strategic decisions about their approach to analytics – advising on tools, how to make data available, outcomes, governance, people, skills etc. You won’t do everything yourself and will need to work with others who can complement the gaps in your own knowledge and experience.

Be an active member of the analytics community of practice – taking part in training and development activities and sharing your own skills and experience.

• Data visualisation. You are an experienced user of a data visualisation tool (e.g. Looker Studio, Looker, Power BI, Tableau, Amazon QuickSight) to visualise data and can describe the data stories this has enabled you to tell.
• Enabling data driven decision-making. You have a proven track record of breaking down the barriers that prevent a team from doing this effectively. Sometimes you have done this through application of your own technical skills. Sometimes you have delivered this through empowering and influencing others to bring skills and experience that complement your own.
• Building and managing relationships. You can build and maintain strong relationships, demonstrating strong emotional intelligence and recognising the different needs of the diverse range of team members and clients.
