Insight Analyst – Social and Environmental Impact

West Midlands | £51,000 + bonus + excellent benefits

This is a rare opportunity to take your analytical skills into a role where every insight helps shape a more sustainable, socially responsible future.

You’ll join a high-performing analytics team that is at the heart of driving environmental and social impact across a national organisation. From understanding the carbon footprint of supply chains, to tackling food waste, and measuring the social value of training and apprenticeship programmes, your work will directly influence strategy and decision-making at senior levels.

If you’re motivated by data with purpose and enjoy solving complex analytical challenges, this is a role where you can make a tangible difference.

The role

As part of a forward-thinking insights team, you will:

Analyse ingredient-level data to measure CO₂ emissions and environmental impact across national operations.

Evaluate food waste and nutritional data to identify reduction opportunities and promote health and wellbeing.

Assess the social value of initiatives such as apprenticeships, training programmes, and community engagement.

Design meaningful KPIs and build dashboards that help monitor progress against ESG goals.

Produce robust analysis and recommendations for senior leaders to support decision-making and reporting.

Maintain and update datasets and reporting tools to ensure consistency and reliability in all outputs.

Collaborate across multiple functions – including sustainability, procurement, operations, HR, and food development – to align insight with business priorities.

Work with third-party data providers to enrich and validate datasets.

This is a role where your technical and storytelling skills will help move the dial on some of the most pressing social and environmental issues of our time.

About you

You are an experienced analyst with a passion for sustainability and social impact. You’re comfortable handling large and complex datasets and translating them into clear, actionable insights that drive business change.

You will have:

At least three years’ experience in an insight, data, or sustainability analytics role.

A degree in a numerate discipline such as Mathematics, Data Science, Environmental Science, or Social Policy.

Strong technical proficiency with Excel and familiarity with tools such as SQL, Python or R.

Experience using data visualisation tools (Power BI, Tableau, or similar) to create impactful dashboards and reports.

An analytical mindset with the ability to identify patterns, understand root causes, and develop evidence-based recommendations.

Confidence in presenting findings to technical and non-technical audiences, with a talent for data storytelling.

A collaborative approach and ability to work with stakeholders across multiple functions.

Experience within sustainability, ESG, nutrition, or public sector/social value programmes would be a distinct advantage.

What’s on offer

£51,000 salary plus up to 15% bonus

Pension matched up to 6%

28 days holiday plus bank holidays and a holiday purchase scheme

A chance to join a high-profile, purpose-driven organisation at the cutting edge of social and environmental impact.

This is more than just an analyst role. It’s an opportunity to help turn complex data into meaningful action – shaping a better future for people and the planet

10 AI Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Generative‑AI hype has translated into real hiring: Lightcast recorded +57 % year‑on‑year growth in UK adverts mentioning “machine learning”, “LLM” or “gen‑AI” during Q1 2025. Yet supply still lags. Roughly 18,000 core AI professionals work in the UK, but monthly live vacancies hover around 1,400–1,600. That mismatch makes specialist recruiters invaluable—opening stealth vacancies, advising on salary bands and fast‑tracking interview loops. But many tech agencies sprinkle “AI” on their website without an active desk. To save you time, we vetted 50 + consultancies and kept only those with: A registered UK head office (verified via Companies House). A named AI/Machine‑Learning or Data practice.

AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Frameworks, Languages & Tools to Learn Now

As the UK’s AI sector accelerates towards a £1 trillion tech economy, the job landscape is rapidly evolving. Whether you’re an aspiring AI engineer, a machine learning specialist, or a data-driven software developer, staying ahead of the curve means more than just brushing up on Python. You’ll need to master a new generation of frameworks, languages, and tools shaping the future of artificial intelligence. Welcome to the AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your definitive guide to the emerging AI tech stack that employers will be looking for in the next 12–24 months.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

Stop Scrolling Job Boards and Start Tapping the Real AI Market Every week a new headline announces millions of pounds flowing into artificial-intelligence research, defence initiatives, or health-tech pilots. Read the news and you could be forgiven for thinking that AI vacancies must be everywhere—just grab your laptop, open LinkedIn, and pick a role. Yet anyone who has hunted seriously for an AI job in the United Kingdom knows the truth is messier. A large percentage of worthwhile AI positions—especially specialist or senior posts—never appear on public boards. They emerge inside university–industry consortia, defence labs, NHS data-science teams, climate-tech start-ups, and venture studios. Most are filled through referral or conversation long before a recruiter drafts a formal advert. If you wait for a vacancy link, you are already at the back of the queue. The surest way to beat that dynamic is to embed yourself in the professional bodies and grassroots communities where the work is conceived. The UK has a dense network of such organisations: the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS); the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with its Artificial Intelligence Technical Network; the Alan Turing Institute and its student-driven Turing Society; the Royal Statistical Society (RSS); the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and its Mechatronics, Informatics & Control Group; public-funding engines like UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and an ecosystem of Slack channels and Meetup groups that trade genuine, timely intel. This article is a practical, step-by-step guide to using those networks. You will learn: Why professional bodies matter more than algorithmic job boards Exactly which special-interest groups (SIGs) and technical networks to join How to turn CPD events into informal interviews How to monitor grant databases so you hear about posts months before they exist Concrete scripts, portfolio tactics, and outreach rhythms that convert visibility into offers Follow the playbook and you move from passive applicant to insider—the colleague who hears about a role before it is written down.
