Job description

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.

• 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.

Person specification

Essential Skills & Criteria:

• Experience of leading and managing a team of data, MI, reporting and resource modelling experts.
• Extensive experience of leading the design and implementation of performance management and reporting frameworks in an operational environment.
• Experience of designing training and sharing knowledge on best practice in data analysis, resource forecasting and reporting in an operational environment.
• Experience of performance tracking against both assumptions and KPI’s in steady state.
• Flexibility in approach, comfortable working in an environment that is fast moving and subject to ongoing change.
• Robust decision-making skills with the ability to use own initiative.
• Experience using Power BI, Dynamics 365 and Microsoft SharePoint an advantage.

At BSR, we are proud to be able to offer our people the opportunity to work in a hybrid way which combines working from home and the office. This is a voluntary, non-contractual arrangement, and your allocated office will be your contractual place of work.

There will be a requirement to travel to the office for various activities, e.g., collaborative working, supporting and training colleagues. If hybrid working is suitable for you and your role, you will be expected to attend the office, or other business-related site, for 60% of your working week. The arrangements will be determined primarily by business need, but personal circumstances and other relevant circumstances will also be taken into account.

Therefore, we would encourage candidates to consider if the commute from home to the office is a feasible distance to travel before making an application. Please note that if you are successful, hybrid working will be discussed prior to taking up the post.
