Data Analyst

Location: HSK, London

Contract Type: Full-time/Permanent/Hybrid - 3 days per week in the office

About the Role

The analyst's role is to help Harmsworth Media's portfolio of brands understand their audiences through rigorous, end-to-end data analysis. You will report directly to the Analytics Manager and be expected to handle both fast-turnaround ad-hoc questions and longer, self-directed analytical projects. This is an early hire into a function that is growing. You'll have direct access to senior stakeholders, real ownership of analytical projects, and the chance to shape how data is used across a portfolio of well-known media brands.

We are open to recent graduates with a strong analytical foundation as well as candidates with one to two years of hands-on experience.

The kinds of questions you will help us answer

• When is a registered user most likely to convert to a subscriber, and what behaviour signals that moment?
• What does a good subscriber onboarding journey look like, and where do we lose people in the first 30 days?
• How do we build a single, reliable view of the subscriber lifecycle that the whole team can work from?
• Where are the biggest drop-off points in the funnel, and what interventions are most likely to move the needle?

 Main Responsibilities

•  Answer ad-hoc data questions quickly and clearly across editorial, product, marketing, and commercial teams
• Own analytical projects end-to-end, from scoping and data extraction through to insight and recommendation
• Design reusable data assets from BigQuery data that the wider analytics team can rely on
• Communicate findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders through well-structured story and visualisations

Person Specification

• Comfortable writing SQL to query large datasets; BigQuery experience is a plus
• Familiar with GA4 or a comparable web analytics platform
• Python experience for data manipulation or analysis is desirable
• Experience with a BI tool such as Looker, Tableau, or Power BI is a bonus
• Background in media, publishing, or subscription businesses is an advantag
• Ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable findings for non-technical audiences
• Curious, structured thinker who frames the right question before diving into the data
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Confidence to flag data quality issues, gaps, or methodological concerns and follow them through to resolution.
