• Working with external experts to develop balanced and authoritative analysis of the evidence relating to the particular policy challenge
• Supporting the Project Director and other team members to facilitate all those involved to examine the evidence and draw their own conclusions, in particular focusing on clear exposition and the visualisation of data and analysis
• Undertaking your own analysis of key data, using quantitative methodologies to draw out key findings and trends and turn them into high quality graphical outputs
• Commissioning and working with experts in the field to produce high-quality analysis in areas where the existing evidence base is weak and, where appropriate, co-authoring papers putting the results into the public domain
• Working with leading academics to support the evaluation of the effectiveness of deliberative and design methodologies, and ensuring the results are utilised within Engage Britain’s developing methodologies.
• Supporting the communications work of Engage Britain within both traditional and social media settings
