Job Description

Data Analyst 

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Data Analyst to join a growing, innovative business located in North Yorkshire, within easy commuting distance of Harrogate, Darlington and surrounding areas. Due to the semi-rural location, access to your own transport will be important.

In this key role, you’ll be responsible for capturing, analysing and reporting data to drive supply chain performance, asset management and commercial decision-making.

This is a full-time, permanent position working Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, with salary dependent on experience.

We’re looking for someone collaborative, approachable, and confident in presenting complex data in a clear, actionable way.

The Role

• Ensure accurate and timely data capture across business operations
• Develop and maintain automated data pipelines and reporting tools
• Integrate information from multiple systems
• Identify and resolve data inconsistencies or gaps
• Build real-time dashboards and performance reports (Power BI or similar)
• Translate data insights into clear recommendations across departments
• Provide predictive analytics to support operational and commercial planning
• Track and report on sustainability and efficiency metrics
• Promote data best practice and accuracy across the business

What You’ll Bring
Essential

• Strong analytical skills and experience in reporting, data analysis and forecasting
• Proficiency with Excel, SQL and BI tools
• Experience automating data collection and reporting
• Confidence in presenting data to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Ability to manage multiple data sources and identify opportunities for improvement

Desirable

• Experience in manufacturing, FMCG or a related sector
• Familiarity with systems such as ERP, CRM or finance packages

This is an exciting opportunity for a data-driven professional to make a real impact in a progressive company that values innovation, teamwork and clear communication.
