We are looking for an experienced Senior Data Analyst to join our team on a fixed term contract to cover maternity leave. This is a high-impact role filling the shoes of a senior team member, requiring someone who can operate autonomously, drive technical standards, and manage high-level stakeholder relationships from day one.



As the UK’s only B Corp Certified salary sacrifice provider, we’re transforming the future of electric vehicle adoption in the UK through salary sacrifice. Building on that success, we’ve launched The Charge Scheme – an innovative benefit allowing employees to save 20–50% on EV charging via salary sacrifice. Voted 4.9 on Glassdoor and certified by Welcome To The Jungle, it’s never been a more exciting time to join!



Key Responsibilities:

  • Partner with senior stakeholders to identify high-level business problems, formulate hypotheses, and conduct deep-dive analyses to drive strategy.
  • Take full ownership of analytical projects from requirements gathering to final presentation, ensuring alignment with business goals.
  • Build and maintain reliable data models using dbt and SQL to ensure reporting is accurate, consistent, and easy to update.
  • Design, build, and maintain high-impact Tableau dashboards that serve as the single source of truth across the business.
  • Act as a strategic partner to cross-functional teams; effectively manage expectations, prioritise work based on business value, and translate technical findings into commercial language.
  • Champion data accuracy and consistency; implement best practices for data validation and documentation.


About you:

  • 4+ years of experience as a Data Analyst or Analytics Engineer.
  • Advanced proficiency in SQL (Window functions, CTEs, query optimization) for complex data extraction and manipulation.
  • Proficient in dbt; experienced in building, testing, and documenting data models using dbt.
  • Experience with Version Control (Git) for managing model changes and collaboration.
  • Advanced proficiency in Tableau; able to design complex, performant, and intuitive dashboards (LOD expressions, advanced actions).
  • High tolerance for ambiguity; you can take a vague business question and independently drive it to a structured solution.
  • Exceptional communication skills; confident in challenging stakeholders, influencing decision-making, and presenting to senior leadership.
  • Self-starter attitude; able to adapt quickly to new environments and deliver value immediately with minimal supervision.

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.
