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. This role will support multiple functions across the business and help evolve data from a reactive support service into a proactive partnering function.

You’ll report into the Head of Data and work closely with internal stakeholders and co-brand partners, with regular exposure to senior leadership.

  • Deliver SQL-based analysis to inform commercial and operational decision-making
  • Support initiatives across risk, fraud detection, and bad debt reduction
  • 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

  • Curious, adaptable, and keen to grow in a startup environment
  • Confident working with stakeholders
