Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Propel Finance was established in 1996 to provide flexible and accessible finance to SMEs across the country. Now, more than 20 years on, Propel has grown to become one of the UK’s largest, independent finance houses. We have continued to deliver leading-edge finance solutions through a unique combination of teamwork and technology.

From this continued success we are now looking to recruit a Data & Analytics Manager to allow us to continue our exciting growth plans.

Our aim is to take the service we offer to the next level, to push the boundaries of what’s available, and to create great customer experiences consistent with our values. Does that sound like something you’d like to be part of?

We are looking for a proactive and technically capable Data & Analytics Manager to lead a growing analytics team within the Asset Finance sector. This is a hybrid leadership and delivery role — ideal for someone who enjoys team management but is also comfortable “getting stuck in” with hands-on data work, particularly around modelling, dashboards, and reporting.

Role responsibilities;

• Lead and develop a team of 4 data analysts, setting priorities, mentoring team members, and promoting a high-performance culture.
• Actively contribute to the hands-on delivery of data solutions — including building dashboards, writing complex SQL queries, and shaping data models.
• Partner with data engineers to design and implement scalable data architectures with a strong focus on dimensional modelling and best practices.
• Work closely with senior stakeholders to gather requirements, translate them into technical specifications, and ensure successful delivery against timelines.
• Own and manage the end-to-end lifecycle of data products — from scoping and build to delivery and iteration.
• Solid experience in data analytics, with experience in team leadership, within financial services or a finance function
• Strong proficiency in SQL and Tableau, with the ability to build efficient and insightful dashboards.
• Proven experience in dimensional data modelling and working with structured data environments.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with experience engaging and influencing senior stakeholders

So, why would you want to work here?

We have a great working environment and we’re an ambitious business. We achieve so much because of our people. Everyone in the business, no matter their team or role can shape the outcome, share ideas, make suggestions, and have their voice heard. It’s a truly collaborative place to work.

At Propel, we embrace hybrid working and with modern offices in Newport, London and Manchester, plus a field-based sales team, you’ll never be too far away from colleagues.

This is a remote role, with occasional travel to Newport, on average once per quarter.

Benefits you can expect:

• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
• 2 additional days holiday after 5 years’ service
• Birthday day off
• Opt in Private Medical Insurance
• Subsidised gym membership at £18.75 a month
• Cycle to Work Scheme
• Electric Car Scheme
• Buy Annual Leave Scheme
• Half day seasonal shopping
• Auto enrolment pension – 3% employer contribution subject to eligibility
• Life Assurance 3 x basic salary
• Company events and reward schemes

We are proud to be a member of Stonewall’s Diversity Champions programme and are committed to improving workplace inclusion.
