Role overview
We are looking for a new Head of Data to join our team at Newmedica. This is a full-time role with a mixture of working from home and from our offices in either London or Nottingham. There will also be ad-hoc travel to our clinical ophthalmic joint venture sites (OJVs).
As the Head of Data, you'll be at the helm of our data team comprising currently 7 individuals. The remit of the team is to maintain the data integrity within Newmedica ensuring that the information we provide to internal stakeholders and external partners is robust and delivered in a timely manner.
You’ll be developing the data strategy in line with Newmedica’s five-year plan focussing on elements such as managing the Microsoft Azure data environment, ensuring high standards in SQL, Power BI, and other systems development, leading clinical coding compliance and assurance and keeping up to data with regulatory changes and new initiatives.
What skills and experience do I need?
We’re looking for someone ideally with a background in healthcare data roles, with experience both in the NHS and within fast paced, commercial private healthcare providers. As such you’ll have a good understanding of the NHS, the private healthcare sector, standard contracts, tariffs, and quality reporting.
Newmedica has substantial growth plans and aims to double in size over the three years so as you can imagine things move quickly and we’re looking for someone who is comfortable working at pace and sometimes with ambiguity. Of course, this also means that you’ll be able to grow in this role and scale up your operations to meet the needs of the expanding business. Which is an exciting prospect!
You’ll have held senior Data roles and have an excellent understanding of data technologies, especially SQL, Azure Data Factory, Python, R, and data visualization platforms like Power BI. And you’ll have experience of data architecture design and development and implementing workflow-enabled solutions.
You’ll have held leadership positions and will be an accomplished leader of people; you’ll have experience of coaching and developing your team and will be used to driving results through their performance.
Stakeholder management is pivotal, and you’ll ensure effective collaboration with the Senior Management Team, various business functions and external stakeholders to meet their current and future data and reporting requirements. You’ll have opportunity every day to use your excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, as well as your project management and strategic thinking and problem-solving skills
Please note we use video interviews as part of our recruitment process. If you are shortlisted, you will be asked to complete a short video interview as the next stage of the process.
