Jade Lewcock

I am an insights and research professional with over ten years' experience working across research, innovation and project delivery roles. My work has involved building relationships with a wide range of stakeholders, gathering and interpreting evidence, and translating complex information into practical recommendations for decision-makers. I have experience working across multiple projects and balancing competing priorities while maintaining a collaborative approach.

A key part of my role is understanding different perspectives, identifying risks and opportunities, and helping teams make informed decisions based on evidence. I am keen to bring these skills into a public sector role where relationship building, collaboration and informed decision making are central to improving outcomes for people and communities.
