We're Hiring: Senior Data Analyst | Fully Remote (UK) | Google-Partnered Consultancy

Are you a data-driven thinker with a passion for building scalable, insightful solutions? Want to join a remote-first company where innovation, flexibility, and professional growth are part of everyday life?
We’re representing a Google-partnered data consultancy going through an exciting period of growth following a string of recent client wins. To support their expanding project portfolio, we’re looking for an experienced Senior Data Analyst to help them deliver top-tier data solutions that make a real impact.

🌍 About The Client
As a specialist consultancy at the forefront of the modern data stack, they help businesses unlock the full value of their data using the best cloud-native tools — with a strong focus on SQL, Looker, LookML, and Google Cloud Platform. Collaboration and trust are at the heart of how we work, and we’re proud to foster a remote-first culture where your ideas and contributions are truly valued.

🧩 Your Role
As a Senior Data Analyst, you’ll work hand-in-hand with Data Engineers and their Development Lead to design and build powerful data models, insightful dashboards, and business-focused analytics.
This role goes beyond crunching numbers — you’ll be embedded in our client teams, helping define requirements, shape strategy, and deliver meaningful insights.

You’ll be responsible for:

Building and maintaining semantic data models in Looker/LookML that support scalable, reusable business logic.
Writing clean, high-performance SQL to support data transformation and reporting.
Working closely with Data Engineers to ensure smooth data pipeline operations and integrations.
Translating business needs into technical solutions that deliver real value.
Supporting dashboard creation and analytics tools to provide clear, actionable insights.
Promoting data quality, governance, and best practices in all things analytics.

✅ What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who combines technical depth with strong communication, and who thrives in a collaborative, remote working environment.
Must-haves:

Strong experience with Looker and deep understanding of LookML (especially semantic modelling)
Excellent SQL skills — you’re comfortable working with complex queries and large datasets
Experience working in a cloud-based environment (ideally GCP, but AWS/Azure experience also valued)
A proactive, problem-solving mindset and the ability to work independently
Previous experience collaborating with cross-functional technical teams (e.g. engineers, developers)

🎁 What You’ll Get in Return

We believe in creating a workplace that rewards hard work, supports personal growth, and respects your time.
Here’s what’s on offer:

💸 Up to £50,000 salary, depending on experience
🗓️ 4-day work week after a successful probation period — more time for life outside of work!
📚 Annual training and development budget to invest in your growth
🌴 Generous holiday allowance plus public holidays
🏡 100% remote working anywhere in the UK
🤝 A collaborative team culture where your input has real impact
🌟 Opportunity to work on high-profile projects with cutting-edge tools and major clients

📩 Ready to Apply?
If you’re passionate about using data to solve real business problems — and want to do it in a flexible, supportive, and exciting environment — we’d love to hear from you!

Veterans in Machine Learning: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into AI Careers

Introduction Artificial intelligence is no longer relegated to sci‑fi films—it underpins battlefield decision‑support, fraud detection, and even supermarket logistics. The UK Government’s 2025 AI Sector Deal forecasts an additional £200 billion in GDP by 2030, with machine‑learning (ML) engineers cited as the nation’s second most in‑demand tech role (Tech Nation 2024). The Ministry of Defence’s Defence AI Strategy echoes that urgency, earmarking £1.6 billion for FY 2025–28 to embed ML into planning, logistics, and autonomous systems. If you have ever tuned a radar filter, plotted artillery trajectories, or sifted sensor data for actionable intel, you have already worked with statistical modelling—the backbone of machine learning. This guide shows UK veterans how to reframe military experience for ML roles, leverage MoD transition funding, and land high‑impact positions building the models shaping tomorrow’s defence and commercial landscapes.
