Job description

The Company

Our client is a purpose‑driven investment organisation operating at the intersection of finance, data, and social impact. They are entering an exciting phase of growth and transformation, with data and technology at the heart of their long‑term strategy.

This is a rare opportunity to join a mission‑led organisation that combines meaningful work with modern data practices and real autonomy.

Why people love working here:

• A clear and authentic social mission with measurable real‑world impact
• A small, newly formed data team with genuine influence across the business
• Hybrid working model that supports work‑life balance
• The chance to shape data foundations rather than inherit rigid legacy systems

The Role

As Senior Data Analyst, you will act as the organisation’s lead analytics specialist, playing a pivotal role in transforming how data is used across the business. You’ll design and deliver high‑quality data products that enable smarter decisions, clearer insights, and greater impact.

This is a broad, hands‑on role offering exposure across analytics, data modeling, BI, and emerging AI capabilities.

Key highlights of the role:

• Build and own business‑critical dashboards and reporting using Power BI, SQL, and Excel
• Transform legacy, manual reporting into automated, scalable analytics solutions
• Partner closely with stakeholders to translate business needs into actionable insights
• Collaborate with data engineering on warehouse design, data models, and pipelines
• Help shape the organisation’s BI strategy, including exploration of modern and AI‑enabled tooling

Your Experience

We’re looking for a proactive, commercially minded data analyst who enjoys working across the full analytics lifecycle and influencing how data is used at an organisational level.

You’ll bring strong technical foundations alongside the confidence to engage senior stakeholders and operate autonomously.

What you’ll bring:

• Significant experience in data analysis, dashboarding, and data modeling
• Advanced skills in Power BI (DAX, Power Query), SQL, and Python
• Strong grounding in descriptive statistics, with exposure to inferential methods
• Experience turning complex data into clear, compelling stories for non‑technical audiences
• A genuine interest in data innovation, including the responsible use of generative AI

Experience with financial, investment, or CRM data (e.g., Salesforce), cloud data platforms, or alternative BI tools is advantageous but not essential.
