Help make sure that audiences insight, data and thinking are at the heart of decision making in the Nations Division. You will take the lead in monitoring and reporting on the BBC’s progress against its objectives in the Nations and Regions, as well as reporting on the strategy of the Nations division itself, and play a key role in ensuring the voice of audiences across the UK are heard by senior decision makers. It’s an exciting time to be working with the Nations Division, as the BBC’s focus on ensuring value for all audiences increases the importance of content made outside of London, and the England team continues its transformation into a digital first local news organisation. This role will provide robust and timely audience insight to decision makers that plays a key part in ensuring the BBC reflects and represents audiences across the whole of the UK.

You’ll be part of the News, Nations and Sport Audiences team, who provide analysis and insight advice to the BBC News Group Division, BBC Nations Division and BBC Sport team. The role is part home and part office based – with your main office base in any of our offices in Salford, Glasgow, Cardiff or Belfast.
