- An analytical mind-set with a strong bias towards evidence-based decision making, working with business SMEs, and using data and metrics to tell a story, or set a context
- Technically skilled in Data Analysis and process driven in its application, but with the ability to discover new value through exploration
- Knowledge of core data principles, such as data types, classification, integrity, consistency, and data structures, such as relational databases, ETL/ELT, datasets, APIs
Ideally you will have …….
- A Degree qualification within a STEM subject or equivalent
- Proven experience in a role involving data analysis or data management, able to articulate the components/structures/roles and their purpose and importance in the wider framework

- Familiarity with other data tools and programming languages (eg Microsoft BI Stack, Azure Synapse/Fabric, Collibra Data Governance, Informatica Data Quality)
That all sounds great, what’s in it for me?
In return we offer £30,000-£35,000 for a 35-hour week, and 25 days annual leave (holidays also increase with time served) plus Bank Holidays, but our employee offering provides much more than just a competitive salary and holiday allowance.
