We are seeking an experienced Data Enablement & Literacy Specialist for a 6-month contract to drive data culture and elevate data skills across our organisation.

• Community Scaling: Launch a "Data Champions" framework to organically drive peer-to-peer data literacy across departments.
• Success Analytics: Design a KPI dashboard and feedback loop to measure training effectiveness and baseline skill shifts.

• Core Background: 3+ years of experience in data analytics, instructional design, corporate training, or data enablement.
• Dual Communication Style: Ability to speak "technical data language" with engineers and "business value language" with commercial stakeholders.
