Join our growing team as a Senior Data Analyst at Genio!

This is an initial 12-month FTC covering a period of maternity leave, but you will be supported with any career growth and development during that time.

As a Senior Data Analyst at Genio, you’ll play a key part in helping us level up our data maturity journey. You’ll turn raw data into powerful insights, build out visualisations, and help us understand how our users interact with our product. Most importantly, you’ll champion a culture of data-driven decision making across the business.

Meet the team:

You’ll be joining the Technology function, made up of Engineering, Product, Product Marketing, UX, Customer Experience and Data – all working closely together in cross-functional squads to build the best product for our users.You’ll work closely with Data Engineers, fellow Analysts, and teams across the business like Customer Experience, Learning, and Engineering. You’ll report into our Head of Data and be part of the Data team’s mission to empower everyone at Genio to use data with confidence and clarity.

To give you an idea of who you may work closely with:

• Phil - Head of Data, toddler wrangler, and sports enthusiast


• Matt - Senior Analytics Engineer, enjoys funky bass line and gifs, occasionally makes ice cream


• Emma - Senior Data Analyst, dog lover, and in the middle of a house renovation


• Alex - Data Engineer, loves Krav Maga, furious knitter


• Nathan - Data Scientist, AI and cooking enthusiast

What you’ll be doing:

• Analyse & Visualise: Create both regular and ad-hoc reports using data visualisation tools to help us make better decisions.


• Tell stories with data: Share interesting and impactful insights that help teams understand what’s working and what’s not.


• Champion data tools: Help drive the adoption of data platforms across Genio, and support teams in getting the most from it.


• Model & Maintain: Use dbt to model data and maintain reporting schemas in Databricks.


• Collaborate & Connect: Work closely with teams across Genio to ensure we’re using the right data in the right ways.


• Keep it clean: Partner with Data Engineers to make sure our data is accurate, consistent, and well-structured.


• Promote best practice: Support others in how they use and visualise data, and help maintain high standards of quality and consistency.

About you:

• You’re experienced in SQL, dbt, and ideally experienced with Databricks (or similar tools).


• You bring hands-on experience and practical know-how, shaped by real-world projects rather than just time on the clock.


• You’re great at bridging the gap between teams, with a knack for explaining technical stuff in a way that makes sense to everyone.


• You’ve used data visualisation tools (Tableau/Looker/Power BI etc.) with a strong ability to turn complex data into clear, engaging visuals.


• You have a strong understanding of the importance of clean, reliable data and how to maintain it.


• You’re comfortable collaborating with stakeholders across various teams.


• You’re committed to quality, consistency, and promoting effective data use.


• You’re naturally curious and pragmatic, with a drive to uncover the “why” behind the numbers.

Not every one of the above is essential, but hopefully it gives an idea of what we find useful day to day.
