You’ll bring practical experience of analysing data and designing engaging dashboards and data visualisations within a professional business environment. combining this with creativity, curiosity and a user-focused mindset to turn complex questions into engaging, practical solutions.

From spotting emerging trends and patterns to shaping how our data is explored, visualised and understood, you’ll play an important part in evolving ORX’s analytical capability and unlocking even greater value from our unique data.

To be successful as a Senior Analyst, you should have experience with:

• Demonstratable professional experience designing engaging, user-focused dashboards and data visualisations that make complex information easier to explore and understand.
• Strong proven SQL skills, alongside experience using analytical languages such as R or Python.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience working with large and complex datasets.

To help you get settled and connected with the team, during your first three months with ORX we ask that you spend at least 2 days per week working from the office. After your first three months, our hybrid approach gives you and your team the flexibility to establish a working pattern that works for everyone, while spending a minimum of 15 days per quarter in the office.
