About the Role

I’m partnering with a high-growth startup to hire a mid-level Data Analyst / Data Scientist to join their expanding data function.

The business already has a Data Scientist in place, but increasing demand across the organisation means they are adding a second hire to work alongside them.

• Act as a data partner to internal teams and external co-brand partners
• Prioritise incoming data requests and improve efficiency
• Help build scalable solutions to enable self-serve analytics
• Collaborate closely with data engineers and technical stakeholders
• Present insights to senior leadership

Requirements

Essential:

• Strong SQL querying skills
• Experience using Python (R is a plus)
• Solid understanding of data science and analytics fundamentals
• Mathematical or statistical academic background

Desirable:

• Experience with BI tools (e.g. Metabase, QuickSight)
• Exposure to Redshift, MongoDB, and Excel
• Fintech experience or strong commercial awareness

Profile
