United Kingdom
Data Analyst
Description

  • We are building a new central Insights team, and a new data platform on Microsoft Fabric underneath it.
  • This role is the analytical heart of that team.
  • Where our Senior Power BI Developer owns the certified semantic layer, you will use it and other data to answer the questions the business is asking, digging into why the numbers look the way they do, and turning that into something people can act on.
  • You will work with colleagues across the organisation, from hub operations and property through to finance, strategy and marketing. Much of the work will start as a conversation rather than a specification, so a good part of the job is working out what someone really needs before deciding what to build.
  • This is an early-maturity environment - some of what you produce will be the first time anyone at Cash Access UK has looked at a question in-depth.
  • You will not be maintaining someone else’s reporting suite, and you will have room to develop technically alongside experienced colleagues.

Requirements

Essential 
  • Experience in a role with a substantial analytical component, where you have used data to answer business questions rather than produce routine reporting.
  • Strong numeracy and structured problem solving - able to take a broad or vaguely worded question, break it down, and explain the logic behind your approach.
  • Working SQL skills, with experience querying an analytical data warehouse or equivalent central data source directly, rather than depending on extracts prepared by someone else.
  • Practical experience building reporting or dashboards in a BI tool that other people rely on, such as Power BI, Tableau, Qlik or Looker.
  • Confident working directly with colleagues who are not data specialists, including asking the questions needed to understand a request properly.
  • At least one concrete example of analysis you produced that changed a decision or an action.
  • Careful with detail, and in the habit of checking your own work before it goes out.
  • Comfortable working where process is not yet established and organised enough to run several pieces of work at once.
 
Desirable 
  • Power BI development, including DAX and Power Query.
  • Exposure to Microsoft Fabric.
  • Experience with demographic, geographic or location data, or with survey and market research data.
  • Operational, workforce or customer analytics in a service delivery environment.
  • Python, R or a similar language used for analysis.
