You'll matrix manage other insight colleagues who are producing insights to feed into NMC outputs. What you'll bring You'll be an experienced research, insight or evidence professional with a strong track record of turning complex information into clear, compelling narratives that influence decision-making and drive positive change. You'll be confident working with both quantitative and qualitative evidence, bringing together insights from multiple sources to identify key themes, trends and opportunities.

You'll be comfortable working in a matrix environment, providing leadership and direction to colleagues while supporting the delivery of high-quality outputs. You'll bring strong project management skills, balancing multiple priorities and ensuring that publications are delivered to a high standard and on time.
