Our client is a well-established local business with a global customer base and a strong people-first culture. They're investing heavily in sustainability and data, and they're looking for a Data Analyst to help drive that forward.

This is an initial 6-month temporary role with a clear pathway to a permanent position. It's a great opportunity to get your foot in the door, prove your impact and grow with the team long term.

What you'll do

• Design and build analytical data models (fact and dimension tables) in Snowflake that the business can rely on
• Develop and optimise pipelines and transformations that bring data from operational systems into the analytics environment
• Build Power BI dashboards that make sustainability performance clear to non-technical colleagues
• Create lightweight analytical tools, such as Streamlit apps, for scenario analysis and deeper exploration
• Own data quality, documentation and traceability across your data products
• Work within the Data Team's DevOps rhythm, including sprint planning, backlog refinement and solution design
• Support colleagues across Compliance, Finance and Procurement with their data needs

What you'll bring

• Experience in analytics engineering, data analysis or a similar role that bridges engineering and analytics
• Strong SQL and hands-on experience with data modelling and pipeline development
• A track record of delivering Power BI reporting for non-technical users
• The ability to turn business questions into well-defined metrics, and to explain data clearly to anyone
• Experience balancing project delivery with business-as-usual reporting
• A genuine passion for sustainability challenges like climate change, waste and modern slavery

Nice to have

• Experience with Streamlit or similar app-building tools, or with reverse-ETL
• Exposure to ESG or regulatory reporting data
• A degree in a quantitative discipline, or equivalent experience

Why apply?

• A route to permanent: start on a 6-month contract with a genuine opportunity to secure a permanent role
• Real impact: your work will directly shape how an international business measures and reduces its environmental impact
• Build something new: help shape a growing sustainability data capability from close to the ground up
• Great environment: a supportive, people-first culture with the backing of an established data team

Applications are welcome from all backgrounds. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role. Early application is encouraged, as the vacancy may close early.
