The Senior Analytical Managers also work to develop an environment where the team can thrive, working together, and with individual people managers to promote the development of our people, team science, open working, and patient and public involvement and engagement. They also play a crucial role in working with colleagues across the Foundation’s three strategic priorities to develop and deliver an ambitious programme of analytical research that makes an important contribution to achieving the Foundation’s mission.
Individual areas of responsibility will be agreed with the successful candidates based on the team’s current work programme, but we would expect each Senior Analytical Manager to take responsibility for one of the following:
