DIO’s Data, Analytics and Insight (DA&I) department are currently looking for a Senior Research Manager to provide strategic advice and recommendations to senior stakeholders. The post holder needs to be able to comprehend business strategy but is then able to translate this into how research can be used effectively to achieve deliverables, both in terms of the research itself but also its impact. This requires some measure of strategic insight but more importantly the ability to link strategy to delivery, and interpret what is required in terms of research.
