Job Description

We’re recruiting for a data-driven analyst role embedded within a finance team ideal for someone who enjoys working with complex datasets and wants to apply their skills in a commercial, business-facing environment.

This is not a traditional accounting role.

Instead, you’ll focus on data analysis, reporting, and insight generation, while gaining exposure to how financial data supports business decision-making.

What you’ll be doing

  * 

    Analyse large datasets to uncover trends, insights, and performance drivers

  * 

    Write SQL queries to extract, clean, and transform data

  * 

    Build and enhance reports and dashboards using Excel and Power BI

  * 

    Support monthly reporting, budgeting, and forecasting with data-driven insight

  * 

    Identify opportunities to improve reporting, automate processes, and increase efficiency

  * 

    Work closely with finance and wider teams to improve data visibility and understanding

  * 

    Help ensure accuracy, consistency, and integrity of data across systems

What we’re looking for

This role is best suited to a Data Analyst who is comfortable working with financial or commercial data.

  * 

    Strong Excel skills (handling large datasets, advanced formulas)

  * 

    Working knowledge of SQL (joins, aggregations, data extraction)

  * 

    Analytical mindset with the ability to turn data into clear insights

  * 

    High attention to detail and accuracy

  * 

    Interest in automation, reporting improvement, and data optimisation

  * 

    Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities

  * 

    Confident communicator who can explain data to non-technical stakeholders

Experience & background

  * 

    Experience in a data, reporting, or analytical role

  * 

    Exposure to commercial or financial data is beneficial

  * 

    Power BI or similar tools, advantageous, not essential

  * 

    ERP system experience, helpful but not required

  * 

    Degree in Data, Finance, or similar, or equivalent practical experience

Working environment

  * 

    You’ll be part of a collaborative and structured finance team, so we’re looking for someone who:

  * 

    Takes pride in accuracy and detail

  * 

    Is comfortable working to regular reporting deadlines

  * 

    Enjoys working in a methodical, organised environment

  * 

    Can balance technical analysis with business-facing communication

Why apply?

  * 

    A genuinely data-focused role (not accounting-heavy)

  * 

    Opportunity to shape how data is used within finance

  * 

    Exposure to real business decision-making

  * 

    Ideal for analysts looking to develop in a commercial environment

  * 

    This is a brand new role, so an exciting opportunity to shape the role as your own in a growing, exciting business
