About Us:

The Finance Team in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, where we go above and beyond for our residents – in all sorts of pioneering ways. By being smart and courageous with the council’s finances we can achieve more for our residents and wider society, especially when working closely with other council departments.

Our approach to responsible procurement and the way we work collaboratively with our suppliers can bring significant benefits, including huge reductions in environmental impact.

Take the award-winning Kings Street footway scheme. This was the first scheme of its kind in the UK to switch all possible high carbon materials and equipment for zero and low carbon alternatives. This included using electric tools and excavators, low carbon foundations, concrete and paving and zero-emission deliveries to site. The result? A 79% carbon saving compared to traditional techniques.

As Data Analytics and Insight Lead, you will provide analytical leadership across our Data and Intelligence, Business Intelligence, and Strategy and Performance teams, as well as our Economics Unit. You’ll help the Council understand how to improve services, provide better value for money, and make residents’ lives better.

You’re ready to enhance the use of quantitative analysis through cutting-edge tools and techniques, including the identification of opportunities linked to AI. Your skills and experience equip you to deliver intelligence and analysis products, and to lead on sharing knowledge and best practice across our analytical network.
