• Identify, collect and blend data from a range of systems and sources, including open source data for additional context.
• Understand various data platforms and pipelines at a conceptual level and be able to identify data quality issues that might impact your work.
• Apply appropriate data cleaning and management techniques, and be able to advise on future improvements for data.
• Be involved in the recruitment and on-boarding of other analysts, and support other consultants in their professional development.
• Promote Hippo’s Herd internally and externally (for example through writing blogs and case studies, and sharing knowledge through workshops and other speaking opportunities)

Skills and experience that you need

• A proven track record as a data analyst with experience of exploring, summarising and presenting data in the most appropriate format for users.
• Skilled in data cleansing, analysis, modelling and visualisation, with experience using tools such as Tableau, Power BI, and Looker Studio.
• Experience with web analytics platforms such as Adobe and Google Analytics.
• Experience of working with large, complex data warehouses and/or data lakes.
• Familiarity with cloud based analytics platforms such as AWS, Azure, Snowflake, Google Cloud Platform (Big Query), Spark and Splunk.
• Proficiency in SQL and experience of using one or more of the following languages: R, Python, Scala and Julia, including relevant frameworks/libraries.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to interpret and advise upon client requirements.
• Excellent collaboration skills and willingness to be a data advocate across Hippo, especially within the wider engineering & data team.
• For the Senior role, mentoring and coaching skills with a passion for up-skilling junior analysts is essential.
