National distribution and services group
Data Analyst
Turn commercial data into decisions. You will own reporting for a business unit, build dashboards and present findings to non-technical stakeholders.
£28,500 – £35,500
About the role
You sit inside a central analytics team but are embedded with one business unit, owning its reporting end to end. That means you are not just pulling numbers — you are the person who explains what they mean. A typical week involves refreshing dashboards, building one deeper piece of analysis (churn, pricing, operational performance) and presenting it to managers who are smart but not technical. A senior analyst reviews your work and teaches you the craft of commercial storytelling with data. The role is based remotely, with the team hub in Liverpool, and the employer recruits actively from across the wider region.
About the employer
The employer is a national distribution and services business with around 2,000 employees. The analytics function is only three years old, which means real influence: the dashboards you build will be the first reliable numbers some departments have ever had. They fund professional certifications, run a quarterly internal data guild and have a stated goal of making every team data-literate within three years.
What you will be doing
- Build dashboards and recurring reports in SQL and a BI tool
- Clean, model and validate data from multiple source systems
- Own monthly performance packs for your business unit
- Present insight to commercial and operations teams
- Support forecasting and performance reviews
- Document data definitions so numbers stay trusted
What they are looking for
- Working knowledge of SQL and spreadsheets
- Clear written and verbal communication
- An analytics certificate, degree or equivalent hands-on experience
Nice to have
- Python or R
- Power BI, Looker or Tableau
- Experience with A/B testing
