The Operational Reporting and Analytics Lead will be responsible for overseeing the generation of reports in Power BI for all operational branches of BSR. Initially the focus will be on measuring and amending modelled assumptions against reality, these will then cover tracking, reporting, analysis and monitoring of; availability; utilisation; productivity; and target completion.

You will report directly to the Head of Operational Excellence and be instrumental in establishing the Operational performance reporting and management alongside BSR’s policy and operational leaders.

Your direct reports will consist of a team of approximately 7 FTE SEO’s, consisting of Data, MI & Reporting Analysts and Resource Modellers.

The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) became an Arm's Length Body (ALB) of Ministry for Housing, Communities, and Local Government (MHCLG) on 1st June 2026.

The BSR is a Non-crown, Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB), and as such its employees are Public Servants, rather than Civil Servants.

All employees will have access to:

• The Civil Service Pension Scheme.
• Civil Service Jobs and the ability to apply for roles advertised Across Government.
• The entitlement to compensation being calculated in line with the Civil Service Compensation Scheme.

Existing Civil Servants transferring into BSR will have their continuity of Service recognised for the purposes of sick pay and annual leave entitlement. However, if they later move to another Civil Service department, continuity of service may not automatically be recognised by the receiving department.

This would be subject to that department’s own policies and arrangements.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage a team of data, MI, reporting and resource modelling specialists, providing clear direction, developing capability and ensuring delivery of function objectives.
• Develop and maintain the Reporting and Analytics Framework, establishing robust processes, standards and tools to provide accurate, timely and actionable insight.
• Drive the performance and continuous improvement of the Reporting and Analytics function, ensuring outputs meet business needs and support effective operational decision-making.
• Engage with key internal and external stakeholders to agree reporting requirements, priorities, standards and schedules, ensuring reporting is aligned to strategic and operational needs.
• Lead strategic and operational BSR performance reporting and management, providing clear insight into performance, trends, risks and opportunities.
• Develop and implement a balanced scorecard approach to BSR Operations performance reporting, incorporating a range of indicators to provide a comprehensive view of operational health and effectiveness.
• Analyse performance issues and provide evidence-based recommendations, identifying root causes and supporting the development and implementation of appropriate mitigation and resolution actions.
• Lead reforecasting, scenario modelling and resource/cost analysis, assessing the impact of proposed changes to resourcing and the cost recovery model to support informed strategic and operational decisions.
