Data Analyst

An opportunity for a hands-on Data Analyst to play a key role in supporting business decision-making through detailed analysis, reporting and insight.

Working closely with the Data Lead, you'll take ownership of analytical requests from senior leadership, third parties and wider business stakeholders. You'll dig into the detail, identify trends and anomalies, and turn complex data into clear, meaningful outputs that help the business better understand its performance and make informed decisions.

You’ll also support the ongoing development of the data function, working alongside the Data Lead as they build a new data platform using Microsoft Fabric.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with data, is confident using SQL and Excel, and can operate independently to deliver accurate, insightful analysis.

Data Analyst Responsibilities

• Manage analytical requests from senior stakeholders, delivering detailed investigations and deep dives into key business areas.
• Use SQL to extract, interrogate and analyse data, identifying trends, patterns and anomalies.
• Translate analytical findings into clear, concise outputs tailored to different audiences, from executive summaries to detailed data extracts.
• Prepare, validate and quality-check data outputs for external partners and third parties, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
• Use Excel and Connected Sheets to manipulate, analyse and present data effectively.
• Identify opportunities, issues and insights that may not have been immediately apparent to the wider business.
• Support the Data Lead with smaller development tasks, reporting requirements and dashboarding as required.

Data Analyst Requirements

• Good working knowledge of SQL and experience using it for data analysis and reporting.
• Strong Excel skills, with the ability to manipulate, analyse and present data.
• Experience with Connected Sheets would be advantageous.
• Confidence producing visual outputs using charts, graphs and other reporting techniques.
• Ability to interpret complex data and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• A proactive approach, with the ability to work independently, manage analytical requests and take ownership of deliverables.

Desirable experience:

• Google BigQuery.
• Power BI and dashboard development.
• Microsoft Fabric or experience working within a developing data environment.

What's in it for me?

The opportunity to take ownership of meaningful analytical work, engage directly with senior stakeholders and help shape how data is used across the business.

You’ll work closely with the Data Lead, playing an important role in supporting day-to-day analytical requirements while contributing to the evolution of the wider data function and its move towards Microsoft Fabric.
