We champion flexible ways of working. Regular in-person attendance is required to promote the benefits of face-to-face collaboration alongside flexibility of hours to support work-life balance.

We actively support hybrid working solutions, with the expectation that you will have 2 days working at home. The Role: This is your chance to build something from the ground up – and make a national impact. County Lines is one of the most serious and damaging criminal threats in the UK today – involving the exploitation of children and vulnerable adults, fuelling violence, and stretching across regional and national borders. We’re building a new data capability to fight back. These two brand-new Data Analyst roles are your opportunity to shape how the National County Lines Coordination Centre (NCLCC) uses data to target harm, safeguard victims, and inform national policing strategy. Working within a matrix environment, you’ll sit within the Met’s wider Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) team but work day-to-day under the direction of the County Lines senior leadership. We’re looking for analysts who won’t wait to be told what data is needed — you’ll spot the gaps, build the models, and surface insights proactively. You’ll be expected to work autonomously, shape your own priorities, and identify what analysis is needed before others realise it.

What you will be doing This Role Isn’t Just About Reporting – It’s About Leading with Data Build and manage new data pipelines and dashboards from national systems like PND and APMIS Develop analytics that help answer urgent questions: Are interventions reducing harm? Where is exploitation spiking? Design and deliver new performance reports to support NCLCC strategy and Home Office accountability Create clear, impactful visuals and briefings for senior policing and government partners Work independently but collaboratively – owning your roadmap, yet sharing and evolving ideas with the wider DDaT analyst community Help set the foundations of a new capability: what you build now will shape this function for years to come Essential skills: You have a solid background in data analysis, ideally from a STEM degree or equivalent experience You’re fluent in SQL, Excel, and Power BI or Tableau – and confident working with large, often messy datasets You’re comfortable with ambiguity and excited by the opportunity to define your own workload You’ve got strong judgement and know how to prioritise what’s urgent, important – or both You can communicate complex ideas to both technical and non-technical audiences Ideally, you’ve worked with government, law enforcement, or in another high-stakes data environment Familiarity with Azure, POLE databases, or Python is a plus Security Clearance: Due to the secure nature of our work, successful candidates must pass all vetting and security requirements, which for this role means Vetting Clearance is Force Clearance Level, Recruitment Vetting (RV), and National Security Vetting (NSV) Level, Counter Terrorism Check (CTC).
