Job description

Data & Insight Director - Fixed Term Contract

Hybrid - Berks

Some data roles are about reports.

This one is about insight.

We're looking for someone who can take large volumes of data, spot the patterns, identify opportunities and tell the story behind the numbers. You'll help stakeholders understand not just what's happening, but why it's happening and what action needs to be taken.

Working with data from over 23,000 locations, you'll use insight to influence decisions, improve performance and support commercial growth. Strong Power BI skills are important, but we're equally interested in someone who can communicate confidently, challenge thinking and turn analysis into action.

What makes this role stand out is the opportunity to work alongside a highly respected and forward-thinking leader who genuinely values data and insight. They're looking for a true partner; someone who enjoys bouncing around ideas, contributing fresh thinking and helping shape the future direction of the function.

We're looking for:

• Experience in Data Insight, Customer Insight, Business Intelligence or Analytics
• Strong Power BI and reporting skills
• Experience working with retail, FMCG or customer data
• Commercial awareness and strong stakeholder management skills
• The ability to present insights in a clear and engaging way
• Someone who enjoys connecting the dots and influencing decisions

You'll enjoy this role if:

• You're tired of producing reports that nobody reads
• You enjoy uncovering the "why" behind the numbers
• You like working with people as much as data
• You want a role where your ideas and insight genuinely make a difference
