Lead Data Analyst - Risk And Controls

Lead Data Engineer

Senior Practice Lead - Data Science

Join a mission-driven, tech-led company as a Lead Data Analyst, working directly with the CEO to help shape the future of a platform used by millions. This is a standalone role offering a high level of trust, autonomy, and impact. You’ll be the go-to person for transforming questions into clear, data-led answers that drive strategic decisions.



The Role:

As Lead Data Analyst, you’ll sit at the intersection of data and leadership. Your work will guide priorities across a company that’s serious about making a positive impact in people’s daily lives, helping them solve real problems through simple, accessible technology.



You’ll take ownership of both recurring reporting and fast-turnaround exploratory analysis. Work is shaped around focused six-week planning cycles, and you’ll play a key role in identifying and solving the most impactful problems the business faces. This is a role for someone who thrives on working independently, enjoys solving problems, and is confident pulling clarity from ambiguity.


What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Leading data analysis across the business as a standalone function.
  • Turning vague or high-level questions into actionable insights.
  • Extracting what people really need from a request, and shaping your own plan to get there.
  • Using SQL to uncover insights in large datasets and communicate them simply.
  • Building clear, impactful dashboards in Tableau that support decision-making.
  • Maintaining key BI reporting, including platform and subscription health metrics.
  • Aligning with stakeholders (particularly Product Managers) to guide prioritisation and support critical decision-making.
  • Designing and evaluating experiments to help test assumptions and validate ideas.
  • Working closely with the CEO and cross-functional teams to influence direction.
  • Supporting six-week delivery cycles with timely, focused analysis.
  • Occasionally travelling internationally, with full support for logistics and planning.



What You’ll Need to Succeed:

  • Strong experience in analytics roles within digital or tech-enabled businesses.
  • Confidence and hands-on experience using Tableau to build clear, impactful dashboards for business stakeholders (certifications or a portfolio would be a strong advantage)
  • Advanced SQL skills, with the ability to write complex queries and work with large datasets
  • Familiarity with Python, R or other scripting tools for deeper analysis.
  • You’ll be the only analyst in this team, so working autonomously is key (you’ll be supported by Data Engineers to help access the data you need).
  • A natural problem-solver who takes initiative and enjoys figuring things out.
  • Strong communication skills and a willingness to speak to people to get the full picture.
  • Able to take minimal input and shape a clear, useful output, without waiting to be told how.



What’s in It for You:

  • A high-trust role working directly with the CEO on meaningful business questions.
  • A mission-driven company focused on solving real-world problems at scale.
  • Highly attractive salary package.
  • Hybrid working pattern, typically 2 to 3 days per week in the office.
  • Occasional international travel, fully supported.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)
