About the role

This is an exciting opportunity for you to join our growing team as a Director to lead on health analytics and modelling.

We work closely with a broad range of major NHS and other healthcare clients - developing and delivering a range of analytical and modelling solutions to NHS & private sector Providers, Commissioners, Systems, Regional and National teams.

Our work is varied and always evolving – from supporting high profile financial and performance turnaround projects to developing long term demand and capacity projections underpinning capital projects; from in-depth patient-level activity and clinical coding analysis to modelling population and system level scenarios and risks.

The demand for data analytics and modelling services is growing fast within the NHS and the wider healthcare sectors in the UK, driven in part by the planned reforms across the NHS. Data driven healthcare planning and delivery is a key growth driver for our health analytics team.

We are looking for an ambitious Director to join the health analytics leadership team and help drive this growth.

What your days will look like:

• You’ll plan, manage and deliver a range of analytical and modelling solutions to NHS Trusts, Commissioners, Systems, Regional and National teams, leading the development and review of predictive and prescriptive analyses and models to support key financial, strategy and operational decisions, and overseeing workstreams within larger engagements, ensuring quality and alignment.
• You’ll develop new relationships and manage existing ones with senior clients, taking a leading role understanding their strategic and day-to-day challenges and how analytics and modelling can help solve them, quickly building trust, planning and coordinating multiple concurrent workstreams, tackling difficult issues sensitively and bringing key findings to life for senior leaders.
• You’ll leverage your existing networks to understand market need and drive the strategic direction for the team to successfully grow the business.
• You’ll take a leading role in winning new work, shaping and drafting proposals, realistic budgets and efficient resource plans. You’ll be proactive in enhancing our existing propositions and will help identify and develop compelling new ways to solve our clients’ evolving challenges.
• You’ll collaborate with senior PwC people from the wider healthcare advisory practice including operational, financial, governance and clinical specialists from across the firm to co-develop new propositions and go to market together.
• You’ll support the growth of the wider health analytics team through targeted recruitment.
• You’ll need to be agile, readily adapting your experience to lead teams in new areas, supporting them in embracing new tools including AI, navigating uncertainty and tight timelines to deliver pragmatic, robust analysis and well-evidenced, valuable insights.
• You’ll take an active role in the development of others, guiding and supporting through on the job coaching, acting as a career coach or mentor, and through developing and delivering technical and broader health sector training.

This role is for you if:

You bring a strong understanding of, and experience in, applying data analytics and developing models in the health sector. You have extensive previous experience of leading engagements with a range of NHS clients with a focus on data analytics and modelling projects aligned to key strategic, financial and operational challenges faced by those clients.

• You are confident successfully managing a range of client stakeholders (clinical, financial, operational staff and senior client leaders, etc), demonstrating the ability to assess modelling needs based on your client’s situation and recommending the best approaches and tools to support them.
• You have an existing network of client buyers across the NHS/healthcare and experience in developing strong new market relationships whilst actively maintaining existing ones.
• You have a proven track record of using your extensive experience of NHS activity, finance and performance datasets to underpin development of insightful analyses, models and dashboards. These will have successfully supported NHS organisations to address a range of operational, financial, clinical and strategic challenges.
• You will have developed proof of concept and operational solutions that were deployed into your client’s or employer’s environment, demonstrating a track record of leading teams that handle large, complex data sets in Alteryx, VBA, SQL, Python or R, alongside Business Intelligence visualisation tools (e.g. Tableau, Qlik or Power BI) and extensive use of Excel.
• You are adept at understanding, simplifying and resolving complex issues, working at pace to develop pragmatic analytical and modelling approaches, building confidence and rapport with senior stakeholders and successfully bridging differing views.
• You have considerable experience managing diverse teams working on varied projects across the analytical lifecycle - including problem scoping, sourcing and setting assumptions, data transformation, design and delivery of well-documented analysis, and engaging communication of key findings and uncertainties – with limited senior supervision.
• You’ve got excellent, engaging communication and people skills, experienced at communicating complex technical matters effectively to less technical audiences both in person and in writing.
