Assistant Director (Data Analytics)

The job purpose is to assist the Deputy Director PPRD, (Policy, Research & Statistics) in the development and execution of CNB’s centralised data analytics capabilities to enable better-informed decision-making and strategic planning throughout CNB.

The job will focus on three main areas: • Statistics – Ensure high quality statistical information that supports evidence-based policy-making and operational decision-making. This entails maintaining professional standards, methodological rigour, and statistical integrity across all organisational data collection and analysis activities. • Data Governance – Establish and maintain comprehensive internal frameworks, aligned to WOG Data Governance policies. This is done while ensuring that data is managed as a strategic organisational asset, ensuring data quality, security, privacy, and compliance whilst enabling effective data utilisation across the organisation. This balances the need for data protection and regulatory compliance with requirements for data accessibility and effective analysis. • Data Analytics – Transform organisational data into actionable insights, and evidence-based recommendations that support strategic decision-making and operational optimisation. This function bridges the gap between data collection and decision making by applying analytical methods to extract value from various datasets, and by presenting the results through clear, interactive visualisations (e.g., dashboards, charts). These visual tools include the use of the MHA Enterprise Visualisation Platform (EVP), enabling insight‑driven discussions, and ultimately turning raw data into informed, timely actions.

Job Requirements: • Jobholder should have experience in statistics, data governance, data quality and analytics, digital transformation, information security and privacy, or related domains. • Requires extensive work with numbers and performing statistical evaluations. • Operationalises data quality improvement strategies to maintain accuracy, consistency, timeliness and compliance with data protection and regulatory requirements. • Apply advanced analytical techniques including machine learning algorithms and programming. • Familiarity with Tableau and data visualisation, and to be confident to perform Tableau training for the organisation. • Stakeholder and negotiation skills are critical as the jobholder has to work with a diverse set of internal stakeholders, with different data competencies. • Jobholder will manage a team, and some supervisory experience would be ideal. This is a contractual position. We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified for the interview.
