About us
IMPOWER is the country’s largest independent management consultancy, focussed exclusively on helping our public sector clients improve services for their local communities - and getting the best use of the public pound.
We understand that impactful and meaningful change cannot be solved sustainably through traditional, liner project management approaches. Our unique EDGEWORK methodology provides our clients with the skills, techniques and mindset to collaboratively solve the complex problems they face – and we have shown that IMPOWER’s way of approaching change has provided better outcomes for service users that have cost our clients less to deliver.
Our team of highly skilled consultants use applied behavioural science, insight, creativity and a talent for building strong relationships to transform public service delivery. If you have a passion for improving public services and the energy to tackle some of our clients’ most difficult challenges, we hope you will be inspired to join our team.
About the team
As IMPOWER continues to grow, we need to evolve as an organisation so that we can respond to the specific and dynamic needs of our clients to the best of our ability. There is now an increased focus for exceptional data analytics that we can draw meaningful insights from to inform the delivery of our work, for example by developing digital tools to better understand qualitative data at scale to inform decisions around investment decisions. This led to the exciting creation of the Applied Analytics Team within IMPOWER.
The Applied Analytics Team is currently four people, and you will be able to establish the role of an Analyst and the key contribution you can make. In this role you will help define and establish us as an effective team across the sectors we work in!
About the role
Our public sector clients are influenced by a range of political, social and economic pressures which means the information they hold and the insights they can draw from it have never been more important when trying to find solutions. We often receive large data sets from clients which can contain anomalies. Therefore, we often need to gather and clean the data before we can start analysing it to identify themes or generate hypotheses around the root causes of a problem. This is key in enabling us to deliver meaningful, long-term, sustainable interventions.
As an Analyst, you will work alongside our delivery teams and be responsible for utilising data tools and techniques to clean data, generate reports, create dashboards and visualisations that “tell a story” about the insights derived from the data. These valuable insights will support the decision-making and business operations of the IMPOWER delivery team.
About you
To be right for the role of Data Insights Analyst within IMPOWER, you should have a combination of the below skills and experiences:
- Bachelor’s Degree in a related field, such as Data Science, Statistics and/or Computer Science or relevant experience in a junior level role (internship or post-graduation placement or NGDP). Please note this is not a Developer role but one requiring strong data manipulation and analysis skills.
- Be able to use data to draw insights and to support idea generation to facilitate discussion and debate. You will have a natural curiosity and continuous improvement mindset that makes you want to explore the data, identify new lines of thought and raise questions to ensure we explore all avenues to support us finding the right solutions for our clients.
- You should be comfortable with ambiguity, incorrect or incomplete data sets and being able to bring that together to produce meaningful information.
- Proficiency in data analysis tools, such as Excel, is critical, and other data visualisation software such as PowerBI or Tableau, is desirable.
- Problem-solving skills and ability to think critically and analytically.
- Knowledge of data cleansing and transformation techniques. Experience of data transformation tools, such as Power Query, is desirable.
- Familiarity with data management and data governance principles.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a fast-paced project team.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills. Be willing to contribute to discussions and share your ideas – you will be one of our subject matter experts!
- Detail-oriented and highly organised.
- Local government or health market knowledge (desirable)

What we offer
-
Being human
We are led by our values and by a desire to do the right thing. Our starting point is respect - for the people who work in public services, and the people who use them (including, of course, our own employees). -
Celebrating individual differences
We value all differences in our team, acknowledging different skills, experiences and motivations. -
Wellbeing
Wellbeing – employee wellbeing is a company priority and we treat it accordingly. We look out for each other - for example, since the pandemic struck, staff have been empowered to adjust their working hours and manage their diaries to encompass home schooling or caring responsibilities. We have a wellbeing action group which works with colleagues from across the business to develop wellbeing initiatives and strategies, such as training a team of Mental Health First Aiders. We provide a gym subsidy contribution (including for online fitness class subscriptions). -
Flexibility
We have parent, guardian, and carer friendly policies in place. -
Insurance
We provide private health, dental, life and income protection insurance. -
Socials
We are a social bunch! We like to get together regularly in project teams or as a whole company, whether for meals out or an activity. Even during periods of lockdown we have kept this up via our online clubs, virtual drinks and fitness challenges. The strength of our social relationships at work have helped create and maintain a genuinely supportive company culture. -
Development opportunities
We offer regular training and development opportunities, and personal development is a key element of ‘People Friday’, held every two weeks. -
Corporate social responsibility
All our staff can spend two days a year volunteering in support of causes or organisations that are important to them. -
Discounts
Our employees benefit from discounts through Perkbox.
Company culture
We are determined to achieve positive impact and contribute to a better society – but also to be a good employer, so that our people can enjoy their work and fulfil their potential.
Here’s what some of our colleagues say:
- "People ACTUALLY care...about each other, about the public sector, about making a difference on a daily basis (it's not lip service it's true!)"
- "I came to IMPOWER straight from the public sector, and it feels like the company are equally as driven to deliver outcomes for citizens as colleagues in the public sector are"
- "There is a culture of high performance but with the support, trust and emphasis on personal development needed to thrive. There is a real focus on outcomes and client impact"
- "We're an intellectually curious, seriously friendly bunch...who aren't afraid to go against the grain to make a big positive impact on people's lives"
- "The culture is supportive, fun and mind-expanding. I feel respected by my managers and colleagues and empowered to think of new ways to meet client expectations"
