• Data analysis and interpretation: Lead in-depth analysis of payment outcomes and user behaviour to derive actionable insights. Produce ad-hoc analysis to support investigations, inform decision-making, and identify high-impact growth opportunities.
• Reporting and visualisation: Develop and maintain payment dashboards and performance scorecards covering all payment channels, defining and monitoring key performance indicators. Use data visualisation tools to present complex data in an understandable and accessible manner.
• Operational growth and development: Support the continuous development of our data processes, analysis methodology, and use of tools and technology in a fast-paced industry, whilst adhering to data security and customer privacy.

We need you to have

• Data Analytics or Insight experience, within payments, e-commerce, or financial services.

• Familiarity with website analytics tools and customer journey measurement (Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics).
• Ability to prioritise and work in a fast-paced organisation, prioritising individual and team backlogs on activity that add the most value.

And if you have these, even better

• Experience with payment service providers and associated data and reporting.
• Previous experience in the Insurance or wider financial services sector, or experience within subscription-based e-commerce.
• Experience using SQL, Python, and/or R to manipulate and visualise data.
• Familiarity with data pipelines/ETL tools, automated reporting, APIs.
