Role Responsibilities

In Navy Command, our civil servants collaborate closely with military colleagues in impactful roles that significantly influence operational capabilities. These positions offer substantial job satisfaction and numerous opportunities for professional growth within the Department and the wider Civil Service.

The Navy Command Headquarters is the central hub for the Naval Service, overseeing global operations and providing the necessary ships, personnel, aircraft, and equipment to fulfill the UK's defense policy.

The Performance Group, situated within the Directorate of the Naval Staff, aims to drive, unify, and enable delivery efforts across Navy Command in alignment with organizational goals. The group is currently organized into three key areas: Performance Insights, Portfolio Performance, and Project Delivery Performance, which work collaboratively in an agile manner to deliver services and products to partners.

The Performance Analysis Lead will play a crucial role in helping Navy Command achieve its strategic objectives by facilitating data-driven decision-making at senior-level reviews through the development of approved frameworks. Collaborating with Subject Matter Experts from various departments, the incumbent will conduct analyses to evaluate organizational performance. You will provide expert analytical support to enhance decision-making and prioritization within the Performance Insights domain.

Key Duties Include:

  • Data Analysis: Review and analyze data, portfolio information, and broader datasets that support the Royal Navy's initiatives, identifying solutions to complex issues and assessing command performance for senior-level reviews.
  • Portfolio Analysis: Establish a reporting process to assist senior boards, focusing on understanding the broader context and implications of decisions regarding programs entering the Navy's portfolio, with an emphasis on risk and benefit management.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Build and maintain effective working relationships with a diverse range of partners, including other areas of Defence and Head Office.
  • Collaboration and Innovation: Engage with wider MOD communities to create new analytical products that enhance evidence-based decision-making, including the development of essential Management Information tools.
  • Recommendations: Deliver informed conclusions and recommendations, including visual aids, to support senior leadership in making effective decisions during relevant reviews and accurate reporting.
  • Team Leadership: Directly manage one or two roles that support the responsibilities outlined above, providing clear guidance and empowering staff to reach their potential.
  • Continuous Development: Foster ongoing professional development in data management and analytics, balancing individual aspirations with corporate needs.
