Job description

We’re looking for a technically strong and commercially aware MI & Data Integration Analyst to join a leading UK retail and technology business on an initial 3-month fixed-term contract.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys combining hands-on data analysis, reporting, and Azure integration work — helping build robust data foundations and self-serve reporting capability for an evolving business area.

The Opportunity

You’ll be supporting a small, forward-thinking team to improve how they use data — helping them access accurate and timely MI, streamline processes, and migrate to a new Azure-based data environment.

You’ll take ownership of reporting improvements, work closely with third-party partners on offshoring data processes, and support the move of key datasets into the Unity Catalog environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce and enhance accurate, timely, and insightful MI reports to support business decision-making.
• Develop and maintain data tables and integrations within Azure Databricks and the Unity Catalog to enable self-serve data access.
• Define and deliver process maps for transferring data ingestion from internal teams to offshore partners.
• Provide hands-on SQL expertise to design, optimise, and validate queries.
• Support and guide third-party teams (Infosys) to ensure tasks meet agreed standards and timelines.
• Document and communicate MI processes to support troubleshooting and continuous improvement.
• Ensure all activity aligns with data governance and confidentiality standards.

Skills & Experience

• Strong working knowledge of Azure and related integration tools.
• SQL proficiency, with experience in Databricks.
• Proven experience in management information (MI) and reporting — ideally using Power BI and Excel.
• Comfortable building, testing, and optimising data pipelines or integrations.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder skills, able to explain data insight to non-technical users.
• Analytical mindset — able to approach problems logically and holistically, considering downstream impact.
• Experience with Python is desirable, but not essential.

What’s in it for you

• The chance to shape data processes within a well-known UK brand.
• Work with a modern Azure tech stack (Databricks, Power BI, Unity Catalog).
• Collaborative and supportive hybrid team culture (2-3 days a week in London office).
• 3-month FTC with a strong chance of extension, depending on project timelines and delivery.
• If you’re a data professional who enjoys improving data accessibility, building better reporting, and enabling teams to make smarter, data-driven decisions — we’d love to hear from you.
