Royal Greenwich is proud to be a borough synonymous with first class modern services. A world heritage site, our communities are vibrant and diverse, and we pride ourselves on being a well-managed and well-run authority.

We have also recently published our first digital strategy. To make that strategy into a reality, we need to hire a new digital, data and technology team to join our existing skill set.

As a Data Analyst, you will form part of our new data team, helping to build a full data capability so we can better tailor our services, make better decisions and understanding more about what our residents need from us.
