Senior Data Analyst

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:

How to Get a Better Machine Learning Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in machine learning can feel especially frustrating when your role was technically advanced, strategically important, or AI-facing. But the UK still has strong demand for machine learning professionals across fintech, healthtech, retail, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and generative AI. Whether you're a research-oriented ML engineer, production-focused MLOps developer, or applied scientist, this guide is designed to help you bounce back from redundancy and find a better opportunity that suits your goals.

Machine Learning Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Figure Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey is useless for UK ML professionals today Ask a Machine Learning Engineer wrangling transformer checkpoints, an MLOps Lead firefighting drift alarms, or a Research Scientist training diffusion models at 3 a.m.: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer changes monthly. A single OpenAI model drop doubles GPU demand, healthcare regulators release fresh explainability guidance, & a fintech unicorn pays six figures for vector‑search expertise. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed in 2024 now looks like an outdated Jupyter notebook—missing the gen‑AI tsunami, the surge in edge inference, & the UK’s new Responsible‑AI framework. To give ML professionals an accurate benchmark, MachineLearningJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula that estimates a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your discipline, UK region, & seniority; you’ll receive a defensible figure—no stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, highlights the forces driving ML pay skyward, & offers five practical moves to boost your value inside the next ninety days.

How to Present Machine Learning Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Machine learning is driving change across nearly every industry—from retail and finance to health and logistics.
