Job Description:

As a Senior Performance Analyst, you'll be proactive and work effectively in a multidisciplinary agile team to help them identify “what success looks like”, develop hypotheses, implement tracking, ensure data is accurate and significant and then provide analysis and actionable insight through effective storytelling and data visualisation.

You will analyse how our services perform for users against our performance measurement frameworks. You’ll focus primarily on digital services but also work with operational, contact centre and non-digital service data. Your insights will drive prioritisation, helping user researchers, user centred design and product and service owners to focus on improving the online experience for users.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and implement performance framework measurements based on business and user requirements for digital services.

• Using Google Tag Manager to set up data collection and Google Analytics to monitor user behaviour across whole user journeys and help improve user experience.

• Collect, synthesise and analyse data from a range of sources and use it to identify areas where poor user experience is creating problems for the user that translate into poor digital take-up and adoption and other problems for HMCTS.

• Understand, demonstrate and communicate the importance of analysis to user-centred design and service success, collaborating with and supporting user researchers, designers, business analysts and product & service managers to use evidence to increase consensus and challenge assumptions.

• Identify and apply the most appropriate analytical techniques to bring different sources together to tell a story and recommend areas for action or further investigation.

• Turn data into valuable insights that inform decisions (using visualisation tools such as Looker Sudio and PowerBI), collecting, collating, cleansing and interpreting data to derive meaningful and actionable insights.

• Provide input into performance packs presented at service boards and communicate your findings more widely to varied audiences in different professions and business areas.

• Play an active role in HMCTS’s growing performance analysis community of practice, supporting, and developing others.

Essential Criteria:

• You’ll be an experienced analyst with broad knowledge of digital and data analysis tools and techniques. You’ll be highly numerate and comfortable working with data across a range of analytics software.

• You’ll need to be able to demonstrate experience of communicating analysis and insight to teams and stakeholders, including presenting negative and positive information in an effective, constructive way and differentiating between tactical and strategic recommendations.

• Developing and using performance measurement frameworks, for example setting, working with, and reporting on KPIs and other service performance indicators.

• Using digital performance management tools, for example setting up Google Analytics properties and manually tagging services with Google Tag Manager.

• Understanding constraints and explaining them to senior stakeholders, including challenging where necessary and/or making recommendations for working with them – for example, meeting data privacy and security standards.

• User-centred approaches, understanding the difference between user needs and ‘wants’ and integrating data from digital analytics with qualitative data from user research and insight to develop recommendations or hypotheses for further testing.

• Data validation and verification, preparing, checking and cleansing data from a variety of sources, then identifying and communicating any limitations such as missing or unreliable data (including checking other analysts’ work).

Desirable Criteria:

• Working as part of a team, supporting delivery, and developing individuals, for example through coaching and mentoring.

• Experience of working in large digital transformation programmes in government
