4/5
In my role as an Intelligence Analyst, I strive to offer valuable data insights to our colleagues in the UK and internationally, as well as to various internal and external stakeholders. I understand the importance of quality assurance and assessment performance, both internally and externally, and I aim to equip the business with the tools needed to monitor these effectively. By harnessing data insights, I hope to contribute to making our processes more efficient and impactful. I am dedicated to driving improvements in quality assurance and assessment, and I truly believe that through thoughtful data analysis and reporting, we can work together to enhance our overall performance.
