Form of workBritish Heart Foundation (BHF) has an ambitious strategy, aiming to substantially grow its revenue to invest over £1bn in research by 2030, in its fight for a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory disease.
The Technology directorate is an integral internal partner for BHF to help deliver our strategy and, as our Data Engineer, you’ll support the successful delivery of a scalable data intelligence platform in Azure. This will provide the services and tools to extract deeper insights from big and complex data using predictive analytics and AI, with a particular focus on Health Intelligence and Analysis. This in turn will enable the uncovering of actionable insights previously hidden in data.
You’ll support the roll out of this platform and ensure these insights are used to guide our mission-focused decision making and strategic planning, helping BHF to deliver against its core mission-led strategic objectives.
The platform will be designed to be iterative and adaptive, allowing exploration of new data sources, models, and algorithms over time, ensuring that BHF stays current and leverages the latest advancements in data intelligence.
You’ll work closely with our Health Insights Team, the Technology Operational Teams and our 3rd party delivery partner to ensure successful implementation and ongoing support of the new platform which we are calling The Data Science Environment.
