Job description

Senior Data Analyst / Analytics Engineer

Location: Remote-first (UK) | Offices in Central London

We're working with a fast growing analytics specialist working with modern, data-driven businesses to help them understand customers, improve performance, and make better decisions with data.

We’re looking for a Senior Data Analyst / Analytics Engineer who enjoys owning work end to end and working across a variety of projects. This is a senior, hands-on role with real responsibility, real influence, and plenty of room to grow.

The role

This is an analytics engineering-focused position where you’ll work closely with clients from day one. You’ll typically run two projects at a time, each with clear scope, impact, and visibility.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Gathering and shaping client requirements


• Building robust, well-structured data models using dbt


• Writing high-quality, performant SQL


• Delivering insights through BI tools


• Translating business questions into clear analytical outputs


• Managing stakeholders directly and owning delivery from start to finish

This is not a narrow reporting role. You’ll see the full lifecycle of analytics work and have real input into how projects are delivered.

What we’re looking for

• Strong experience as a Data Analyst or Analytics Engineer


• Advanced SQL skills and dbt experience


• Confidence working end to end, from requirements through to insights


• Strong business understanding, not just technical execution


• Experience working with customer, product, marketing, or commercial data


• Bonus if you've had exposure to subscription or e-commerce businesses

This role suits someone who enjoys variety, responsibility, and impact, and who likes seeing their work used.
