Data Officer
Turn data into decisions that shape public sector recruitment across the West Midlands
Salary: £23,279 – £26,206 pro rata (based on 22 hours per week) (equivalent £39,152 – £44,075 full time equivalent)
West Midlands Employers (WME), the award‑winning member‑led organisation supporting 31 local authorities across the region, is seeking a talented Data Officer to strengthen its data analytics and reporting capability. You’ll work with data from WMJobs, our applicant‑tracking system, campaign analytics and regional workforce datasets – helping shape how public sector recruitment works across the West Midlands.
What You’ll Do
You’ll lead the development of high‑quality reporting and dashboards that support organisational performance. Your work will shape how WME uses data to enhance service delivery and support leaders with robust, accessible insight.
A key part of the role includes ensuring data quality, maintaining strong governance practices and supporting compliance with data protection requirements such as GDPR. You’ll also help streamline reporting processes and guide teams across the organisation in using data effectively for both operational and strategic decisions.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who combines strong analytical experience with the ability to communicate complex information clearly and confidently. You’ll bring knowledge gained from a relevant degree or equivalent experience, alongside expertise in Microsoft Office and Power BI.
We value a flexible schedule – a 22‑hour working pattern across a minimum of three days per week – and the opportunity to impact recruitment decisions that matter.
Why join WME?
We’re a purpose‑driven, not‑for‑profit organisation that makes a real impact across the West Midlands. You’ll work with a collaborative team, influencing how data is used to shape public sector recruitment while benefiting from the flexibility to balance meaningful work with your life outside of it.
