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.

Next Steps:

If this sounds like the kind of role where you’d thrive, we’d love to hear from you. Send your CV or get in touch to find out more.

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.
