Turn data into decisions that directly impact revenue, pricing, and performance.

We are hiring a Data Analyst for a 6 month Fixed Term Contract to play a key role in transforming how a major UK contracts division uses data across sales, margin, and commercial performance.

About the client:

You will be joining a large, multi-brand UK organisation operating within a complex distribution environment. With multiple business units and evolving systems, the organisation is investing heavily in improving how data is accessed, trusted, and used. This is a business in transition, moving towards a more modern, insight-driven approach to decision making.

Project overview:

This role sits at the centre of a transformation focused on improving visibility of margin, pricing, and sales performance. You will help redefine how analytics supports the business, working closely with stakeholders to shape reporting priorities and deliver insights that drive action. The work will also contribute to building a scalable analytics capability that can be rolled out more widely across the organisation.

What you will be doing:

You will act as the link between business stakeholders and data teams, translating complex commercial requirements into clear data and reporting solutions. A core part of the role will involve analysing sales, pricing, and margin performance, identifying key drivers, and turning these into actionable insights.

You will develop a strong understanding of rebate-driven margin structures and ensure that changes to pricing and margin logic are accurately reflected in reporting. You will also support the transition from legacy tools into modern data models, ensuring historical and current reporting remains consistent and reliable.

Alongside analysis, you will design and build scalable dashboards and reports, enabling business users to access clear, consistent insights without relying on manual processes. You will work closely with Data Engineers to define reusable datasets and ensure data models support flexible, self-serve analytics.

Tech environment:

You will work with tools such as Excel, Power BI, and modern data platforms, with exposure to enterprise data environments and evolving cloud-based solutions.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for someone with strong experience in data analysis, business intelligence, or commercial analytics. You should have a proven ability to work with pricing, margin, or financial data, and be confident using Excel at an advanced level alongside BI tools such as Power BI.

You will need to be comfortable translating business needs into data solutions and working closely with stakeholders across the organisation. Strong communication and the ability to influence decision making through insight are key.

Nice to have:

Experience working in large-scale data environments or transformation programmes would be beneficial, as would familiarity with tools such as Phocas, Azure Synapse, or Databricks. Experience within retail, distribution, or similar sectors is also advantageous.

Why join:

This is an opportunity to play a central role in shaping how data is used within a key part of the business. Your work will directly influence commercial decisions and help set the standard for future analytics across multiple brands.

Role: Data Analyst

Duration: 6 month FTC - Chance to renew or go perm

Salary: Up to £50,000

Location: Warwickshire / Hybrid

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
