Job description

Principal Data Analyst - Azure / Databricks / SQL - Remote First

Are you the kind of Data Analyst who can take a messy, noisy, slightly chaotic data landscape and wrap a proper layer of structure around it?

Maybe even enjoy it a bit?

Right now, the business has huge amounts of data coming in from multiple parts of the organisation, but everything is pretty siloed. Different teams. Different feeds. Different standards. Nothing centralised yet.

The goal is to build a unified data platform on Azure with Databricks at its core. Something that actually behaves like a proper, governed, scalable, AI-ready environment. You will work closely with the Architect to translate the vision into a coherent set of analyses and insights that drive delivery. This will involve working with both legacy systems and newer technology as the platform modernises.

Reporting directly into the Architect, this will be the most senior Analyst amongst a team of data engineers, data scientists, and data analysts sitting under you.

Primarily remote, the office is based in London, and you'll need to be able to get there on occasion (once a month or so). You must be UK based for this position.

What we are looking for:

• Solid Principal / Lead Data Analyst or Data Engineer background
• Deep experience with SQL, Databricks, and all the plumbing that makes a modern data stack actually work
• Strong legacy tech experience - SPSS, SAS, Tableau etc (this is all tech that they are looking to consolidate)
• Strong communicator who can influence decisions without steamrolling people

Advantageous skills include experience with:

• Come from a background that is Financial, Economic, or extremely numbers driven
• If you have played with AI or worked in that sort of environment

The bigger picture:

You will help bring together multiple streams of operational, product, and customer data that currently sit across separate environments. The mission is to unify everything into a single, governed platform that unlocks real insight and sets the foundation for advanced analytics and AI driven intelligence.

If you want a role where you can genuinely shape a data ecosystem and build something future ready rather than just maintain someone else's blueprint, this is worth a conversation.
