Job description

Insights at hyperexponential

We are hiring an Analyst to help build a world-class finance function at hyperexponential, supporting rapid, sustainable growth with data, automation, and strategic insight. This is an opportunity to join a small but dynamic Central Functions team and to play a pivotal role, working together to establish scalable processes and deliver powerful insights that will propel our company into its next phase of growth. Initially this role reports into the finance team but with a remit that will likely expand into broader operational and strategic analytics across hx.

hyperexponential is an agile, high-growth, data-driven company and it needs a data function to match!

Our team at hyperexponential is:

• Technology-driven: we leverage the latest cloud and AI technologies to drive automation efficiency, monitoring and deliver deep insights to the business

• Customer-centric: we treat stakeholders as internal customers, proactive, responsive, and invested in their success

• Forward-looking and holistic: We prioritise long-term value creation, looking beyond mere financial metrics

• Growth Orientated: we embrace innovation and change; we love to learn new skills and keep on top of fast moving market trends

Your mission

Finance at hx is a strategic function: not just financial planning, but enabling execution through better data, automation, and systems thinking. You’ll help us scale smarter by embedding robust metrics, building intelligent processes, and sharing insights that unlock growth. Our remit includes core financial planning, but extends further—driving process improvement, enabling AI adoption, and facilitating knowledge sharing through data. We empower decision-makers with deep, data-driven insights that illuminate the path to sustainable value creation.

Put data at the heart of every decision at hx

You’ll design the data infrastructure, tools, processes and reporting that empowers managers to act fast and perform better. You’ll partner with stakeholders across the business to understand what they need, deliver analysis and solutions that fuel confident, fast decisions.

As an Analyst at hyperexponential, you’ll:

• Build and maintain scalable, self-serve reporting that unlocks data for day-to-day decisions

• Use automation and technology to refine central processes and deliver efficient and easy to navigate processes

• Monitor and quantify AI adoption across the business, proving its contribution to operational efficiency

• Respond to high-priority ad hoc questions with speed, clarity, and insight

If you’re excited by the idea of turning data into impact, and helping a high-growth business scale smarter, we’d love to hear from you!

This role offers a unique chance for professional growth, providing high levels of ownership and the opportunity to make a significant impact. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of all aspects of a rapidly growing technology business and have the chance to collaborate with and learn from senior leaders across the company.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build insightful reporting and analytics to support decision-making:

  Aggregate and transform data into intuitive, actionable reports that help managers and leaders drive performance across the business.

• Design and scale internal processes using automation and AI, ensuring they are fast, efficient, and measurable.

  As a Central Function, we exist to help other teams operate better. We build systems to match, intelligent, scalable, and easy to use. We leverage AI for this but also build metrics to prove any AI implementation is delivering value.

• Empower teams to use data effectively:

  Coach managers and stakeholders on how to access, interpret, and apply the data available to them whether in dashboards, reports, or self-serve tools ensuring confidence and autonomy in day-to-day decisions.

• Partner with Central Functions to meet analytical goals:

  Collaborate closely with People, Finance, and other central teams to understand their data needs and design solutions that align with their strategic objectives.

• Manage and prioritise incoming data requests:

  Own the intake process, ensuring that requests are triaged, responded to promptly, and balanced against ongoing priorities.

• Maintain and quality-assure standard reports:

  Ensure dashboards and recurring reports are accurate, well-documented, and consistently delivering value.

• Communicate progress and escalate blockers:

  Keep stakeholders informed on key requests, proactively surface decisions, and flag any risks or issues that may impact delivery.

Key requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, or another quantitative field (e.g., Mathematics, Physics, Engineering), or equivalent practical experience.

• 3+ years of experience in a highly analytical role.

• We embed continuous improvement into how we design and scale processes. You should be able to review processes, identify inefficiencies, and improve them with a bias for simplification.

• A passion for leveraging data, analytics, models, and forecasting to drive business results. You will have designed and built reports drawing from disparate data sets (ideally including detailed staff reporting).

• Experience with any one tool is less important than a proven ability to dive into a new platform and find out how to make it work for you. With intellectual curiosity and drive to find better ways of doing things, you will showcase a broad exploration of data and analytics technologies and probably already have expertise in DAX/SQL/Python.

• Ability to work independently, think objectively, and interpret meaningful insights from both quantitative and qualitative data. You lead projects end-to-end, from intake and scoping through to implementation, keeping stakeholders informed and translating insights into action.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management. You can build strong relationships at all levels and convey complex topics to diverse audiences within the organisation.

• Manage or maintained data pipelines within cloud solutions e.g. AWS or Azure (nice to have, not essential).

Who You Are

We’re building a team of full-stack strategic operators—technical generalists who are as comfortable with SQL as they are with storytelling.

You’ll thrive here if:

• You translate data into action, delivering clear, relevant insights to the right people at the right time.

• You take ownership end-to-end, learning what you need to get the job done, learning what you need to get the job done without waiting for permission or handholding.

• You’ve got a startup mindset: scrappy, hands-on, and not afraid to lead from the front.

• You use AI and automation to accelerate execution, not just talk about it.

• You deliver impact through scalable systems and processes, not one-off requests.

• You bring clarity, discipline, and a continuous improvement mindset to everything you do.

• You’re excited to enable a data-driven culture across our organisation.

What do we offer?

• £5,000 for individual and group training and conference budget

• 25 days’ holiday plus 8 bank holiday days (33 in total)

• Company pension scheme via Penfold

• Mental health and therapy provision via Spectrum.life

• Individual wellbeing allowance via Juno

• Private healthcare insurance through AXA

• Top-spec equipment (laptop, screens, mechanical keyboards, etc)

• Regular remote hackathons, lunch & learns, socials and games nights

• Team lunches, snacks, drinks fridge, fun office @ The Ministry

Interview Process

• Initial call with our Talent team

• Hiring Manager Interview with Snr FP&A Manager

• Case Study interview with Director of FP&A and Snr FP&A Manager

• Values interview

Diversity @ hyperexponential

We are committed to diversity and equal opportunity. We’re a talented and high-energy, but low-ego and kind team who believes that the more inclusive we are, the better our work and culture is. We are not yet where we want to be in terms of balance, but it is our mission to build a team that represents a variety of backgrounds and perspectives and we are working hard towards that goal.
