To meet ever-evolving threats, it\'s vital that law enforcement organisations work closely together at all times. As a Data Management & Analytics Manager, you\'ll lead a team within a new specialist unit, making sure that relevant data is quickly shared with all stakeholders.

The Joint Counter Terrorism Prison and Probation Hub (JCTPPH) is a tri-agency intelligence unit bringing together staff from His Majesty\'s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), the Security Services and Counter Terrorism Police (CTP). It coordinates the exchange of information and intelligence between operational partners to counter national security risks in prison and under probation supervision in the community.

Within this newly created unit, you\'ll lead a Data Management & Analysis team, which will quickly share relevant data with the rest of the teams. It\'s all about putting the right data in the right hands to help us make decisions at the highest levels, ultimately keeping the public safe.

Your tasks will include overseeing the quality of data, helping to deliver strategic projects to improve the unit, and developing connections with JCTPPH customers. You must therefore be an experienced data professional who has worked on large quantities of data before and handled protectively marked information while adapting quickly to the strategic and tactical environment.

Up to speed on data governance and data sharing agreements, you\'ll be a credible, high-profile figure within the new hub. With the communication skills to connect with people at all levels, you\'ll build relationships, manage stakeholders\' expectations, and negotiate and influence.

Besides the rewarding nature of the job itself, a competitive salary, and a Civil Service pension, you\'ll also benefit from excellent career and professional development.
