Saga is the most trusted brand for people over 50 in the UK. We have been designing and delivering products and services in this space for decades. We are customer‑focused and insight‑driven, meaning your role in our central function of Analytics & Decision Science has a real impact!

As the Senior Data Analyst at Saga, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our data strategy and the development of analytics solutions. Your primary responsibility will be to harness the power of data to extract meaningful insights, inform strategic decisions, and contribute to the overall success of the organisation using machine learning and statistical techniques.

We work in a hybrid way at Saga. When you do come into the office, it’ll be with a real purpose in mind – to meet with your team, to work together, and of course to socialise and celebrate too! The team gets together about once or twice a week in either London or Folkestone. You will need to be in a commutable distance.
