About the Role
- We work with some of the UK's biggest companies and government departments to provide a pragmatic approach to technology, delivering bespoke software solutions and expert advice.
- We’re looking for a Senior Data Analyst, combining solid data fundamentals and sharp analytical judgement with a business focus.
- Someone able to drive data discovery work, work with stakeholders providing or consuming data, and provide clarity and insight for our teams.
What You'll Do
- Dig into raw, unfamiliar data, frequently at scale and in production, to work out what is there, how it fits together, and where it can and can't be trusted.
- Separate genuine data issues from quirks of history, size the impact and risk, and give data engineers the clear, evidenced picture they need to build reliable data models.
- Work with large datasets, diagnose anomalies and work out solutions.
- Be a trusted point of support for the data scientists and engineers working with the data.
- Work directly with clients, shaping requirements and presenting findings to their stakeholders while navigating the governance around sensitive, regulated data.
- Guide clients in extracting the most value and impact from their data.
What are we looking for?
- Significant experience profiling and investigating large, complex datasets at scale and in production.
- Experience with technologies such as SQL, Spark and Python, and confident querying analytical data directly rather than relying on pre built reporting.
- Problem solver who works independently, with the judgement to direct your own investigations.
- Ability to gather and shape requirements through conversations and workshops, inform priorities, and work within the governance and access controls around sensitive data.
- Hands on data presentation, analytics and dashboarding skills.
- Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach, comfortable presenting findings to senior client stakeholders, influencing decisions and constructively challenging when the evidence points the other way.
- Embrace the chance to try new things, learn new skills and grow your experience, and to help others on the team do the same.
What You'll Get In Return
- 25 days' annual leave, rising incrementally to 30 days after six years of service.
- Generous family leave policies.
- Access to an employer pension scheme and Group Life Assurance.
- A range of optional benefits such as discounted gym membership and a cycle to work scheme.
- A meaningful approach to evaluating your performance and providing feedback on your progress.
