Job description

The Data Gals is partnering with a Glasgow based organisation of around 60 people that is growing its data capability and looking for a Data Analyst to join its team.

This is a great opportunity for an analytical, curious and commercially minded person who wants to do more than simply produce reports.

You’ll work across the business, partnering with teams including Marketing, Finance, Operations and Commercial to turn data into meaningful insight, improve reporting and support better business decisions.

You’ll be joining a fast paced environment where there is plenty of opportunity to take ownership, ask questions and make a visible impact. Your analysis won’t just sit in a dashboard — you’ll have the opportunity to see your work directly influence how teams operate and make decisions.

Whether you’re a recent graduate looking to take your first step into industry or you already have a couple of years’ experience as an analyst, this could be a strong opportunity to develop your technical and commercial skill set.

What you’ll be doing

• Working with teams across the business to understand their challenges and identify where data can add value
• Analysing data to identify trends, patterns and opportunities
• Creating and improving reports, dashboards and MI to give teams a clear view of performance
• Producing actionable insight to support commercial and operational decision-making
• Working with Marketing, Finance, Operations and other departments on their reporting and analytical requirements
• Helping stakeholders understand what the data is telling them and what they should do next
• Supporting the development and tracking of key KPIs and performance metrics
• Bringing together data from different sources and ensuring it is accurate, reliable and useful
• Looking for opportunities to improve existing reporting processes and make better use of data
• Presenting your findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Taking ownership of analytical projects from understanding the question through to delivering the insight
• Using data and emerging AI tools to find smarter and more efficient ways of working

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who is curious, analytical and commercially aware — someone who genuinely wants to understand the story behind the numbers.

You might be a recent graduate with a numerical, analytical or STEM degree, or you may already have experience working in a Data Analyst, BI or similar role.

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who:

• Enjoys solving problems and getting to the root of a question
• Is naturally curious and asks “why?”, not just “what happened?”
• Can turn data into clear, practical insight
• Is comfortable working with stakeholders across different areas of a business
• Can communicate technical information in a simple and engaging way
• Is proactive and happy to take ownership of your work
• Enjoys working in a fast paced and changing environment
• Has a commercial mindset and wants to understand how their work impacts the wider business
• Is keen to learn, develop and build their technical skill set
• Isn’t afraid to challenge existing processes or ask whether something could be done differently

Technical skills

You don’t need to tick every box, but we’d ideally like to see experience with some of the following:

• SQL and/or Python
• Excel
• Power BI, Tableau or another data visualisation tool
• Working with and analysing datasets
• Building dashboards and reporting
• Data cleansing and manipulation
• Basic statistical analysis
• Understanding of KPIs and performance metrics
• Experience completing a university, personal or professional data project

We’re particularly interested in people who have strong analytical fundamentals and a genuine appetite to learn. You don’t need to know everything from day one.

Why consider the role?

This is an opportunity to join a growing organisation where data is genuinely being used to support decision making.

You’ll have exposure to multiple areas of the business rather than being restricted to one reporting function, giving you the opportunity to build a broad understanding of how different teams use data.

You’ll also have the opportunity to:

• Work closely with stakeholders across the organisation
• Gain exposure to different types of commercial and operational data
• Take ownership of projects and see them through to implementation
• Develop your technical and analytical skills
• Build strong commercial understanding early in your career
• See the direct impact of your analysis on business decisions

If you’re looking for a role where you can learn quickly, work across different departments and make a tangible impact through data, we’d love to hear from you.
