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.
£28,000 – £35,000
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 in Norwich on a hybrid pattern of two to three days on site, 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.

- 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
