Technology Analytics Manager

Are you passionate about shaping strategic decisions with data-driven insights? Then join Specsavers as our new Technology Analytics Manager and help build a trusted analytics foundation that enables smarter technology and business planning across Northern Europe.

Your role

As our new Technology Analytics Manager, you will be responsible to support executive decision making with high‑quality analytics based on large volumes of data from multiple sources. 

You play a critical role in enabling data‑driven prioritisation of technology initiatives by delivering historical insights, scenario modelling, and scenario-based planning insights. Your work directly supports strategic planning, portfolio prioritisation, and performance management across Technology and the wider organisation.

You will not own core data pipelines; you will partner with Data Platform Team(s) to use governed, certified datasets and align KPI definitions.
You act as a trusted partner to senior stakeholders, translating complex analytics into clear narratives, recommendations, and trade‑offs that guide confident, informed decisions.

Key responsibilities include:

• Translate complex analyses into clear, decision‑ready insights for senior leaders.
• Build decision-grade portfolio analytics by curating and modelling certified data products from enterprise sources, in partnership with the data platform team.
• Deliver scenario modelling, and portfolio analytics to support prioritisation and strategic planning.
• Develop and maintain executive dashboards, KPIs, and analytical data products.
• Partner with Technology, Finance, Portfolio/PMO, and business stakeholders to align on data, insights, and decision needs.
• Proactively identify data quality issues, risks, and trade‑offs and drive follow‑up with accountable owners where data ownership sits in the domains (Finance, Service/Run, Product, etc.).

Your new team

You will join the Northern Europe Technology function, reporting to the Technology Portfolio Manager. The role works closely with colleagues across Technology Delivery, Finance, Portfolio/PMO, Architecture, and market leadership teams.

You will collaborate in a complex, international setup, partnering with internal teams and external delivery partners to ensure analytics consistently supports strategic and operational decision‑making.

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with a high standard for data quality and integrity.
• Proven ability to translate complex data into clear, executive‑level insights and recommendations.
• Experience influencing prioritisation and decision‑making through data and scenario analysis.
• Strong stakeholder management skills across technology and business functions.
• Ability to navigate complex organisations, products, and data landscapes..

I’d be nice to that you have the following:

• Experience working in an agile or iterative delivery environment.
• Experience collaborating closely with business stakeholders.
• Familiarity with Microsoft analytics tools such as Power Apps and the broader Microsoft platform.
• Experience operating in fast‑paced, just‑in‑time planning environments

As a person, we believe that you are:

• Self‑organised, motivated, and comfortable taking ownership.
• A clear and confident communicator, both written and verbal.
• Able to influence and lead without formal authority.
• Curious, analytical, and comfortable challenging assumptions with data.
• Able to balance speed with quality, governance, and risk awareness.
