Job Description

A retail chain analytics team in Montague Gardens needs dashboards people trust and numbers that add up. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is Montague Gardens-based, with most of your time spent at a retail chain analytics team. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

The work, day to day

Check data quality and trace odd numbers back to the source
Automate weekly reports that used to take hours in Excel
Build and maintain Power BI dashboards and data models
Write SQL to pull, join and clean data from several sources
Build simple forecasting and segmentation models in Python or R

Must-haves

Careful with sensitive customer data
Advanced Excel
At least 2 years in a data or reporting role (not needed for graduate posts)
Strong SQL, including joins, window functions and CTEs
Degree in statistics, maths, computer science, economics or a related field
Able to explain what the numbers mean, not just show them

Helpful, not essential

Python with pandas for data wrangling
Industry knowledge in retail, insurance or credit
Experience with Databricks, Snowflake or Fabric

What's in it for you

Latest laptop with extra screen
Hybrid work with two office days
Paid cloud and BI certifications
